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.
Transparent trend
Paul & Joe´s proposal showcases thinner loose bows on transparent blouses, which are feminine and chic.
Dark contrast
Erdem, one of Kate Middleton's favorite brands, is famed for gorgeous florals, and for this season the fashion house presented some seriously monumental bows.
Ultra wild
Dolce & Gabbana made it clear: the fashion house is committed to leopard print from head to toe, including major ribbons and bows.
Time to shine
Pussy-bows also appeared in the Etro runway show, this time with glimmering fabrics and the brand's characteristcally bold prints.
Major monochrome
MSGM showed that simple black and white can be simply beyond – here a print blouse with a huge bow worn with a leather skirt and two-toned shoes.
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.
