How to Wear Bow Blouses

by Jo-Lynne on May 23, 2012

This is a trend I did not latch onto quickly. In fact, I still am reluctant to commit, although I’m getting there.

I remember when my mom wore bow blouses back in the late 70′s. When I first started seeing them pop up again a couple years ago, I said NO WAY JOSE! They conjured up horrible memories of curly perms gone bad.

But I’m coming around to the new, updated bow blouses. Nowadays they are usually made in soft, flowy fabrics, and you can tie them prim and proper high at the neck or loose and casual against the chest.

My mom always wore bow blouses with her business suits, but there are more modern ways to wear this trend.

Of course you can always wear a bow blouse with a pencil skirt for a classic look.

But even better, pair it with a pair of amazing jeans. Try something like this!

Or for a super trendy look, try it with a pair of shorts!

How do you feel about the bow blouse trend? Are you on board for this one? How do you wear your bow blouses??

    These selections look lovely but I still remember the ones from the 80′s too and can’t quite get past it!
