Bow Ties!

The bow tie is like the icing on a cake.  Just like how icing makes a cake sweet, a bow tie makes people also look sweet (a trend for both men and women).   From tying our shoelaces to using bow ties as a decorative icon on a model’s outfit at a fashion runway, who would have thought that such a simple ribbon would become such a big hit.

Just recently while walking around shops and browsing through magazines, I have been noticing bow ties on everything.  For example, I have seen bow ties on hair bands, hair clips, necklaces, belts, men’s tuxedos, and of course, on shoes.  Even though bow ties have been around ever since we were toddlers tying that first shoelace, this simple decoration continues to be part of our modern fashion world.

Any sized bow tie will still give any item, a finishing touch of completion.  Take a look at women lingerie for example, it is already small as it is but adding bow ties as little details gives the lingerie an extra touch of cuteness and thus making the lingerie more sellable.  Most of the time it is used as decoration, but lately it is the main attraction of fashion.

Bow ties are a huge hit in our fashion world.  Just earlier today, I was at H&M and one of their handbags only consisted of a large print of a fancy bow tie.  You can wear a plain simple dress and just have a big bow tie belt and that outfit alone could make you look fashionable.  It really is as simple as that!
