Most trends don’t easily transition from work wear to play wear but the bow blouse does just that, making this trend perfect for those Friday night happy hours after work. The bow blouse is defined as a blouse that has sashes that extend down from the collar, which then get loosely knotted into a bow. The bow blouse is actually a throwback to the retro 70’s blouses favored by working women of that era. These days bow blouses look great solo, under sweaters or as an addition to the popular power suit. We have seen plenty of celebrities in bow blouses recently, namely fashionistas like Sarah Jessica Parker and Kate Moss.
For a simple and chic office look all you need to do is pair a white bow blouse with a fitted black pencil skirt. This is the easiest, no fuss way to rock this trend. Plus the monochromatic color palette is very office appropriate, and would work well in the evening time also. If you want to be a bit more daring with your bow blouse ensemble we recommend opting for a sleeveless silky coral bow blouse and a black blazer, paired once again with a fitted pencil skirt. After work ditch the blazer and let your blouse shimmer and sparkle with its beautiful coral hue.
Try The Trend Tips
Ready to rock a bow blouse at the office and in the evening, well here are a few tips to help ensure you look your best in this trend.
If you plan on wearing a bow blouse to the office opt for a fabric that has more structure and a stiffer texture. However if you plan on wearing your bow blouse for play then we suggest going for a flowy fabric like chiffon or silk.
When it comes to the bow itself you can opt to tie it tightly, for a mens bow tie look, or you could opt to tie it loosely and let in dangle, for a more free spirited, boho vibe.
