The Perfect Holiday Accessory How to Rock a Hair Bow

Ah, the holiday season – a time for shimmering metallics, sumptuous velvet, and, of course, the beloved red tartan. Whether you’re a cool girl who effortlessly incorporates these holiday elements into your ensembles or a devout fan of red tartan like myself (no shame here), the range of festive dressing options is truly incredible.

Now, as a fashion enthusiast who views fashion as a form of creative expression, I wholeheartedly embrace the holiday spirit through my outfits. And guess what? You can do it too, even if you’re not an over-the-top dresser or a fashion guru. And the secret ingredient to instantly transform your outfits into holiday wonders is… drum roll please… a bow!

Yes, my fellow fashion lovers, hair bows are the not-so-secret weapon to instantly holiday-fy any look with minimal effort. I mean, we all know bows as holiday decorations, but now they have become one of the hottest accessory trends of 2023. Celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and the queen of cool, Matilda Djerf, have been rocking bows in their hair all year round. And what better time to join the bow party than now?

How to Incorporate Hair Bows Into Your Holiday Looks

Hair bows are not just for any time of the year. They are made for the holiday season. So, don’t hold back! Here are a few ideas to kickstart your festive outfitting:

1. Use a Bow to Hold Up Your Ponytail

Ah, the classic ponytail, so effortlessly chic. But why not give it a festive twist? Simply add a bow as a finishing touch, and voila! The contrast between the femininity of the bow and the casual elegance of the ponytail creates a stunning look. And for all you practical folks out there, you can also attach a bow with a barrette to achieve the same effect without any hair tie finagling.

2. Decorate a Half-Up ’Do

Picture this: You’ve stayed out a little too late at a holiday party, and now you have to face the next day at work. Fear not, my friend! All you need is some dry shampoo, an oversized bow barrette, and a little creativity. Create a half-up, half-down hairstyle with a bow, and you’ll be both chic and adorable, even on a post-party morning.

3. Add Multiple Bows for Extra Glam

Why settle for just one bow when you can have two? Fashion icon Matilda Djerf proves that two bows are truly better than one. Add bows to both the top and bottom of a standard braid, and watch your hairstyle instantly go from ordinary to extraordinary. And if you’re feeling particularly adventurous, why not go all out and sprinkle small bow clips throughout your hair? It’s a festive explosion!

4. Weave Ribbon Through a French Braid

Do you long for that effortlessly chic Scandinavian Christmas aesthetic? Well, this one’s for you. Take a single French braid and weave a ribbon through it. Then tie a bow at the end to keep the braid together and add a touch of delicate charm. It’s simply divine!

5. Top Off a Silk Ensemble

For those who crave a romantic and ethereal look reminiscent of Clara from “The Nutcracker,” pair a silk or satin dress with a lace bow. The soft, feminine aesthetic of both pieces beautifully complements each other, creating a captivating contrast in texture. It’s like a dream come true!

6. Dress Up a Bun

Ah, the practical bun, our trusty companion during the busy holiday season. But who said practical couldn’t be fashionable? Spice up your favorite bun with a stylish bow, and suddenly your everyday hairstyle becomes a statement piece. Stay fabulous while running around, shopping, and baking cookies.

Now that you have a myriad of bow-tiful hairstyle options, it’s time to put your creativity to the test and embrace the festive spirit like never before. So go ahead, adorn your hair with bows, and let the holiday magic shine through!
