What is it?
Bows are a popular hair accessory that has been gaining popularity in recent months. They have taken over the Internet and the runways as the new go-to. This decorative design appears to have transcended its original role as an accessory and has become a secure form of embellishment for outerwear. Designers opted to use the bow as an eye-catching feature instead of a simple trim for autumn/winter 2020. The bow was used in an exaggerated form, as the only fastening or in a large number of designs.

Bow dresses are an extension and continuation of a tried and tested style that has been sweeping social media in recent months. This trend is evolving naturally with the addition of details to dresses. The design is now available to a wider range of people in the form of on-trend eveningwear.
We’ve seen it all

The bow dress trend was seen in many different ways on the Autumn/Winter 2024 runways. Simone Rocha’s bow was an example of a large bow that cascaded down the back and over the shoulder. Richard Quinn, Annie’s Ibiza, and others, however, went for a minimalist approach, using the bow to define the waist on light, chiffon dresses. David Koma incorporated the bow into his pre-fall look ’24 but tied the contrast material to the side. This allowed for a high leg slit. Prada was the brand to lead in bows, with a shift dress covered from head to foot in pink ribbons.

Evening dresses with bows can make a bold statement, especially if the bow is the main feature. It may be best to keep accessories and footwear as simple as possible to make the dress stand out. A pair of simple black strappy heels, paired with a black clutch and gold earrings are a great way to pull the look together. Black calf or thigh-high boots are another option that is inspired by the runway. They form around the wearer but still draw attention to their central feature.
The bow dress is a natural evolution of an existing trend that has been gaining popularity. It appeals to consumers because it’s a new version. This bow dress is a great addition to your wardrobe for the upcoming season.
