Bows Are Big News Right Now, so I Found the Prettiest Pieces Out There

Whilst recent seasons have seen the revival of so many fabulous trends, for me, this winter will always be remembered as the season of the bow. Initially spotted tied neatly around the tresses of the fashion set, the bow has since transcended the realm of hair accessories to become the chicest finishing touch in fashion. Ushered in by a bubbling interest in girlhood, a summer that saw everyone styling Barbie-pink and the enduring balletcore trend, this winter has seen these references culminate in the rise of the classic bow accessory.

Whether they're adorning cropped cardigans, placed on socks or tracing the hem of a dress, bow details have been cropping up across so many of our favourite brands. Rooted in playful femininity, designers such as Miu Miu and Simone Rocha have long championed bows, but now high-street retailers like H&M and & Other Stories are also carrying the coquette-charged embellishment in spades.

Scroll on to see some chic outfits that centre around bows and to shop the prettiest pieces around.
