Bow blouses — sweet, feminine, and quietly sexy … bows are the new buttons. Show your style savvy and trade a basic button down to the latest trend of bow blouses. You can tie a perfect bow for a vintage feel, or leave it loose for a more carefree vibe. Go ahead and tie one on.
What To Wear With Bow Blouses:
Bow blouses worn with wide leg trousers or a pleated midi skirt are a fun alternative to the classic office look. If you’re top heavy beware of big bows and instead tie in a sleek knot or don’t tie at all and leave the straps hanging to keep from adding bulk to your bust.
Accessory Tip:
Skip the necklaces and dangling earrings, and finish the look with studs and rings instead, so there’s nothing to compete with the bows.
