Get ready to bow down to the most delightful hair trend sweeping through the runways this season! Bows are back, and they’re making a statement like never before. At Couture Fashion Week 2024 bows were seen on the catwalks of Chanel, Dior, and Giambattista Valli making these playful accessories the must-have hair embellishment of the season.Â
From Runway to Real Life: Styling Bows with Elegance
2024’s bow trend is all about sophisticated, grown-up glamour. Imagine delicate silk ribbons, oversized statement bows, and strategically placed hair adornments that transform your look from simple to stunning.
How to Rock the Bow Trend
Sleek Ponytail with a Bow: Elevate a classic ponytail by securing it with a luxurious bow at the base. Choose silk or satin ribbons for maximum impact.
Velvet Bow French Plait: Add a touch of luxury to a classic French braid by attaching a simple velvet bow at the end or midway. The plush texture of velvet creates an instant couture moment, transforming a traditional hairstyle into a runway-worthy look.
Half-Up Bow Styles: Create a romantic look by pulling half your hair up and anchoring it with a statement bow.
Accessorised Updos: Add a bow to a classic chignon or ballet bun for an instant touch of couture-inspired elegance.
Choosing Your Perfect Bow
Not all bows are created equal. This season is about:
- Textural variety (think: velvet, silk, grosgrain)
- Contrasting colors
- Unexpected placements
- Varying sizes from dainty to dramatic
Whether you’re preparing for a Christmas party, or just want to add a touch of haute couture to your everyday look, the bow trend offers something for everyone. Take a look at our Party Hair Looks and Accessories for the Festive Season blog post for more seasonal hair style ideas.
