It’s been all about the bow for a while now, and the trend is showing no signs of abating, with fashion editors, influencers and celebrities alike enjoying adding feminine touches to their clothing, hair and accessories.
Now, Marks & Spencer has got in on the action, dropping a new sleeveless blouse with three small bows running down the front. It’s available in black or white, and at just £29.50, we predict a sell-out, so be quick!
The reason we’re so confident in this pretty top disappearing fast is that M&S’s similar tie-front style went viral and flew off the shelves earlier this summer. Perfect for styling with shorts or linen trousers, it’s no wonder Radio 1 DJ Vick Hope was a fan.
What we love about the bow trend – kickstarted by Simone Rocha who sent models down her AW23 runway with the appliqué ribbons adorned to their faces – is that you can play into it as much or as little as you’d like.
So, while A-listers like from Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Lopez are partial to tying them into their hair, if that’s not your thing, you could try something more subtle like bow earrings or a swimsuit with bow straps, or go bigger with a statement bow on the bodice of a dress.
Given Prada’s romantic AW24 show, bows will be everywhere next season too, making now a good time to snap up some bargains that you can wear solo now and layer over polo necks and under blazers when the colder weather comes. May we suggest starting with the above blouse…
Marks & Spencer has been really impressing us lately, from the polka dot dress that’s proved to be the style of the summer and the leopard print dress with designer vibes, to the new side-stripe trousers that we know we’ll be living in come autumn.
