I remember when I was younger my mom would put a small bow in my hair before she sent me off to preschool, and I remember tugging at it, trying to do whatever it took to get it out of my hair. Fast forward to fifteen years later, and I am buying hair bows for myself, as they have come back stronger than ever. It seems that everywhere you go it’s impossible to escape bows, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Whether it’s a big pink bow in the back of someone’s hair, dangling bow earrings, or tiny ribbon bows on headphones, you’ll probably encounter at least one bow a day.
Want to join in on the trend? Here are three super cute, trendy, and affordable bow styles that you can try out:
If simple hair bows spark an interest, Amazon sells a pack of eight, for $12.99 (that’s only a little over a dollar per bow). The pack of bows comes in four different colors, black, white, pink, and blue, each in the form of a long and short bow. Hair bows are perfect to secure a half-down look or decorate any ponytail. In my opinion, this is a very cute option that will look great in anyone’s hair!
Claw clips have always been such a convenient accessory to quickly pull hair up and out of your face. Now it has redesigned itself in the shape of a bow. If you are more of a claw clip girl, this is for you. It shouldn’t have been a surprise when hair bows became trendy again, claw clips followed soon behind it, making clips in the shape of charming, colorful bows. And while I’m sure it’s easy to find these, Temu sells claw clip bows in a variety of colors for $1.18 a clip.
One other way you can wear bows is through simple and elegant bow earrings. Although I find that this option is somewhat more expensive, it is worth it for anyone looking to dress up an outfit or shake up their earring collection. Again, Amazon is going to be a great place to look for pretty bow earrings. You can find a multitude of options, from thin dangling bows ($12.99) to small chunky gold and silver ($11.99) to a combination of pearl bows ($13.98). As someone who loves buying different types of earrings, bow earrings are something I need to invest in.
All in all, bows come in all different colors, sizes, and forms. From hair bows to earrings to rings to bows attached to dresses, they have truly made their mark on society. Bows have even seen their fair share of TikTok fame, as it has become a trend to tie ribbon bows around various random objects. Especially over the past year, bows have proven to be fun, cute, and a perfect fashionable accessory for any time of the year!
