xtra accessorizing is the Coquette aesthetic mantra, and for this, the bows have come out to play just in time for spring. The now-viral trend first spread its magic our way in 2020, adding a feminine cheer to the moody pandemic-focused climate. When we finally went outside, the fad tagged along, ensuring that our fashion tale had a good dose of its girly charm with lace, flounces, pastel colors, and of course, bows. For spring 2024, the latter is pushing forward with enough determination to make this a “bow-focused spring.” Therefore, if maintaining your style star status is a project as the flowers begin to bloom, here’s how to hop on the bow-stacking fashion trend for a major take on girliness.
Here are two major ways to double on bow-stacking fashion this spring…
- Stacking bow accessories: This could involve wearing multiple bow-themed accessories, such as bow-shaped earrings, bracelets, necklaces, or hair accessories, all at once. Stacking these accessories can create a cohesive and playful look, especially for those who appreciate whimsical fashion.
- Layers of bows: Another interpretation could involve layering clothing items that feature bow details or prints. For example, wearing a blouse with a bow neckline under a jacket adorned with bow details is a charming look to explore. This layering technique adds visual interest and depth to an outfit while incorporating a cohesive theme.
In both cases, “bow stacking fashion” is about creatively incorporating bow motifs into one’s outfit, either through accessories or clothing items, to express personal style.
Check out easy ways to incorporate bows into your style this spring…
Bow hair accessories: Stack multiple bow hair accessories for a playful and whimsical look. Pair a bow headband with bow hair clips or bobby pins to add dimension and interest to your hairstyle.
Layered illusion: Stack multiple bow-themed accessories together, such as wearing a bow-shaped pendant necklace with bow earrings and a bow-adorned bracelet. Mixing and matching different types of accessories can create a stylish and coordinated look.
Bow-detailed clothing: Choose clothing items with bow details, such as tops with bow-tie necklines, dresses with bow waist details, or skirts with bow accents. Layering these pieces together can create a girly and fashionable ensemble.
Mixing textures and prints: Experiment with stacking bows in different textures, colors, and prints to add visual interest to your outfit. For example, pair a satin bow blouse with a tweed jacket or mix floral print bows with polka dot patterns for a fun and eclectic look.
DIY bow stacking: Get creative and crafty by making your bow accessories or embellishing clothing items with bows. Mix and match materials like ribbon, fabric, lace, or leather to create unique and personalized pieces that reflect your style.
Bow belts: Rocking belts with bow accents can add interest to an outfit. Try wearing a skinny bow belt over a wide waist belt for a stacked effect that cinches the waist and adds a feminine touch to dresses, skirts, or high-waisted pants.
