Are you someone who loves bows? I confess I’ve never been one of those women who put bows on everything. But when something is trending, I pay attention, and bows are trending! Today, I’m sharing how to wear them when you’re over 50! I promise you’ll look chic. No worries about looking like Little Bow Peep on this blog, lol.

I’m black and white and CHIC all over. Lol! This is a gorgeous outfit, and there is a surprised twist.

My, oh, my! This is an outfit that you could wear to any event, as long as it wasn’t Black Tie only. I think the creamy cable knit sweater is cute, but the satin black bow on the back takes the look to another level.

I might not be a bow fan when it comes to clothing, but I love this oversized bow handbag. This is not real leather, so the price is affordable. The handbag is structured, and so is the bow. You don’t have to worry about it flopping around or losing its shape.

Here is another handbag, but this one has a metal bow. The strap is convertible, and you can even move the placement of the bow where it is at shoulder level, etc. This woven handbag is soft and pliable. Even though I love the large structured bow on the black handbag, I love the woven material of this one best. Problem solved…I’m keeping both of them. Lol!

Isn’t this chic? It’s a large bow, but there’s nothing “precious” about this sweater. Wear this with a pair of black pants for a column of color, or put it with a pair of white jeans if you want to be more casual. I don’t think you can go wrong with a black-and-white combo. This is also available in other colors like pink and white. Check out the link to see more details on the gorgeous sleeves.

If you have an event where you want to look feminine and professional, I don’t think you can go wrong with a bow tied at the neck. This chiffon blouse is lovely in blue and would look amazing with either a navy or white blazer. Pair it with jeans to elevate a casual look. If you want something more striking, buy it in black or white. Approximately $20 dollars!

A blouse with a bow doesn’t have to be boring! I love the mix-matched floral print with the striped bow. This is not the only fun option. There are a ton of prints, as well as solids, at the link. This is not a stretchy shirt, so if you like your blouses to blouse, lol, then size accordingly. A very pretty option and just $30 dollars.

Ooh-la-la! I think this tulle midi skirt would look amazing at any party or grown-up occasion. To be honest, I think you could make this funky and fun with some boots or tennis shoes. There are no rules in fashion! Sadly, this has an elastic waist, and it only comes in one size. The description says that it will fit 23″-35″ inch waists. If that’s you – have fun!

This is a very pretty way to be on trend with a bow! I love the V-neck, the ruffle at the hem, the batwing sleeves, and the gorgeous, sexy back. Reviewers say that it’s VERY soft, flattering, and runs true to size. Don’t love navy? Don’t worry. It’s available in 15 different colors.

How pretty is this soft grey cardigan from Nordstrom? The bows are a very subtle touch. These bows aren’t just decorative; they actually act as buttons to close the sweater. I would wear it with a lacy camisole or a bralette. It would look great with white or a contrasting color like black or even pink!

This is an elegant and easy way to incorporate the bow trend into your wardrobe. Accentuate your waist in this gorgeous Kate Spade, available in black, white, cream, green, and even strawberry pink! This is available in X-Small to X-Large and is 3/4 inches wide. So nice!

Earrings are a great way to incorporate a trend or color into your current style. They make a statement, but they aren’t heavy, which I love. You can find a pricier version at large retailers, but as something I won’t wear daily, I’m okay with lower quality. I think these look very nice and much more expensive than the price tag. Under $15 dollars!

Hello, Beautiful! If you want to rock the bow trend in a big way, these Badgley Mischka are gor-geous! Do you still wear high heels? My grandmother dressed to the nines and wore high heels up into her late nineties! These would be beautiful for a mother-of-the-bride to wear. Of course, they aren’t cheap; I mean, they are Badgley Mischka, after all. If you would like an inspired similar version for under $50, I’ve got that covered, too.

Are you going to rock the bow trend? Let me know in the comments how you’ll incorporate the trend into your wardrobe!

  1. Love the surprise bow in the back of the sweater. And the tulle skirt with bows is nice.

  2. Bows make me happy!!
    I usually keep my bows on a smaller scale. I think the first white sweater with the black bow in the back is so cute.
    Butter Pecan is my favorite ice cream too! I can’t wrap my head around Dr. Pepper flavor ice cream.

  3. I am really not a fan of Bows…never was. But, I do love Mint!
    I am in the process of purging, since I have lost a lot of weight. I found a Twinset, in Mint that I had purchased about6 years ago and only wore twice. Now its trendy with its classic style and it fits.

  4. So cute on you! I don’t think I could pull that off. I love the bag though and first sweater.

  5. How cute are these items?! Thanks for sharing!

  6. love your site! You look great in the Quince pants. Considering them myself. I am 5’5″ and 100 lbs. would like a more relaxed fit. Need your advice on the fit for me in straight leg. Your site is for 50’s, but I am a 72 year old and just love it. We all want to look our best and you do it very WELL.

    1. Harper, the large pants were a little too loose on me, and the mediums are a smidge tight. I’m 5’6″ and weigh around 150-155.

  7. Great options for older people to add the bow trend. Thanks

  8. Great post, Tanya. Love the sweaters. I have a similar top with bow in the back and that handbag in a different color. Love how you show trends, but in a way that is sophisticated and for “our age”. Most of allI I love your positive attitude- glass half full view of life. You make me laugh and you make me think. A good friend connected me to your blog a while back. We both agree that we would be friends if you lived nearby. But, as you’ve said recently, we can still be friends. Thank you for what you do and glad family all doing better. 🥰🙏

    1. Lisa, I’m thrilled you and your friend are enjoying the blog. We may not live nearby each other, but we can still be friends.

      1. Yes, we can! We are shopping buddies and we always discuss what you post! We live in sunny Florida, so let us know if you ever come south to escape the winter. A lot of good places to shop ❤️

  9. a bow on a purse is cute and the sweater with the bow in the back looks pretty but it’s not a trend I’ll embrace. heck, I barely wear prints!

    Butter pecan is my husband’s favorite, too!
    Cute bow in back sweater….Love the woven bow purse…
