Tie one on! Blouses with bows will bring your wardrobe up to date

See the oversized, fun and flamboyant pussy-bow blouses we loved on the runway


OCTOBER 25, 2019 6:00 PM EDT

If you want to bring your wardrobe of separates up to date, add a blouse adorned with the romanticism of flowing bows. Pussy bow blouses are a classic, but this season the volume is pumped so the bow is the biggest statemetn of the outfit. It serves as an dramatic—and fun—element that is a must-have this season.

Seen here, at Céline´s fall-winter runway show during Paris Fashion Week, a pussy-bow blouse rounded out a look comprised of a pleated skirt, jacket, and knee-high boots. Bows overall are a main trend, of course. Earlier in 2019, the Golden Globes became the perfect platform to showcase dresses with bows at the neck or back, and we saw them adorning shoes over the summer. So the best way to complete the cycle is by wearing oversized tie-neck blouses, as seen on the fashion week runways.

Very Valentino

Voluminous dresses, along with big bows, will evoke nostalgia for the 80s, according to Valentino, a fashion house that has made bows and ruffles its trademark.

Not just a suit

Bows are even making an elegant statement with suits like this one which includes a dramatic cape, all by designer Kithe Brewster.

Laid-back vibes

Bows are just as cool when it comes to informal looks like this one by Dawei – a flowing dress, a sweater, and a black bow around the neck.
