Bow dresses are the gorgeous feminine trend I’m fully embracing, here’s why

There are so many variations around right now that it’s easy to find a style or 3 to love.

What bow dresses are in style
Bow dresses are still very much in style. For the most on trend iteration go for pink, metallics or styles with crystal bow embellishments. For a more classic style look for elegant cuts in black or white.

Searching for the best bow dresses took all my restraint not to add more to my wardrobe as there are so many stunning styles around. I’m loving this red off the shoulder mini that’s so chic, feminine and it’s on sale. It’d be perfect for Valentine’s day or date night.
If you’re looking for a glam, statement dress this black and white sequin mini is perfect and the gloves make it even more fashion forward for this year.
If you’re looking for a dress for your holiday parties, there are lots in festive colors but don’t feel like you have to go the predictable holiday theme color route. Bright pink, green or blue are trending and definitely impact making in a sea of red, green and metallics.
Although, if you want to go the more traditional and classic route, this black and gold dress is a Revolve best seller and I can see why. How fabulous is it for holiday parties and galas? It also comes in silver, black, pink and a few other colors.

This black satin crystal bow dress I’m wearing is sold out where I got it from but I found it here and it also comes in blue satin. I found it runs a little small around the bust for me (I’m a 32D/34B) but is perfect on the waist.

It’s a bit of a pain to iron or steam but so worth it! The sleeves have netting to keep the giant puff sleeve shape and the bows at the back mean its adjustable. It’s also on sale right now with over $100 off.
