Don’t Doze on Ribbon and Bows!

Old trends are making their way back into fashion. We're not just talking about Y2K and ‘90s trends; we're talking about old-fashioned ribbons and bows. The popularity of using ribbons and bows extends back into the early middle ages, but we won't delve into history for your sake. Let's discuss why ribbons and bows have seemed to stick around all these years. 


Adding the simple embellishment of a ribbon to finalize your look will release dopamine. If you don't believe us, try it out! Tie a bow around the end of your braid tomorrow and see how much better you feel!


We know you're probably all thinking, "This is a fashion blog! Why are we talking about ribbons?" We have perfect recommendations for you to cater to those who may be looking for something a little more extravagant than a bow. 

Finding Ribbon Around the House 

Do any of you have that parent who unwraps gifts carefully to save the paper? They probably keep the ribbon from gifts if we had to bet on it. This option will cost zero dollars, and it will put all that ribbon in your storage closet to use! 

Amazon: The Place for Everything 

Amazon has everything you need in life, so of course they have a plethora of ribbons. Right now, the "Berwick Offray 062036 3/8" Wide Single Face Satin Ribbon, Red, 6 Yds" on Amazon is 21% off and only $1.79. If you want to go the suede route, the "10 Yards Velvet Ribbon Spool Available in Many Colors (Black, 5/8")" is only $8.19. With so much ribbon, you and all your friends can match. 


Target 

The “Satin Bow Hair Barrette - A New Day™” comes in black and white and will easily stay on your head thanks to the secure barrette. These bows remind us of Florence Pugh’s in the new film “Don’t Worry, Darling.” This bow/barrette can be added to a formal fit for flare, or to an everyday fit for flavor. At only $8, this bow is a Target find we think you need to add to your cart.

Madewell 

The “Two-Pack Velvet Bow Hair Elastic,” noted as a best-seller, is on sale for $15.50! The pack provides two colors: classic black and frosted willow, reminding us of a light sage. These beautiful bows have an elastic attached, which makes styling so simple.

Free People 

When we tell you there are almost too many options for us to list from Free People, we mean it. So, let’s do this rapid-fire style. The “Lady Bow” comes in 6 colors at $16 a piece, the “VPetite Bow” is available in 5 colors at $12, and the “Yoko Bow” has six color options and costs $24. Phew! That was a mouthful of detail. Now get those bows!
