Bows Are Trending! How To Wear Them When You’re Over 50
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!
Bows Are Trending! How To Wear Them When You’re Over 50 – Tops
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!
Bows Are Trending! How To Wear Them When You’re Over 50 – Sweaters
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!

I use to not like bows cause they looked so Gotta. But these are outfits with bows are cute. I put the earrings in my cart
I like bows that are trending now. Great job on the various sizes.
I didn’t think I was a bow fan but some that you shared are really cute.
I’m not sure about bows on my clothes but that purse and those earrings sure are cute!
What great ideas! I never thought of purses and earrings! Thank u
Loving the black bow purse!! I’m a bow girl too. All of your styles look gorgeous. The navy bow tie waist top looks like a winner too..
BTW, I love Butter Pecan as well. Bryers is too die!
Blessings for a lovely weekend.

At a political dinner last night, I saw a woman with the most beautiful red shoes with a huge bow on them. I complimented her on them and I noticed others doing the same. Then this morning, I read your blog about bows! I guess I will be seeing them every where now. I, myself like a simple classic small bow.
I used to love Blue Bell chocolate brownie ice cream till I tasted Freddy’s chocolate custard ice cream. Freddy’s has ruined me for any ice cream now. My style is more understated so bows are not for me. Maybe tying a bow in a sash belt or small bow earrings. The blue blouse reminds me of blouses I wore in the 80s. I had a silky red one that I am wearing in old photos.
That ice cream flavor sounds delicious. BP isn’t sold here but my Texas cousin love BP. Bows on the blouse seem more for office workers, not this work from home lady.
I have never even heard of Blue. Bell ice cream, but that flavor sounds DELICIOUS!!! I have several Kate Spade bags that have bows on them…that’s about it for me. Happy Saturday❤❤❤
