A good #OOTD is all in the details. That’s why accent closures—lace-up sides, rope belts, even double waistbands—have become all the rage in apparel: They’re attention-grabbing (and hence make for good photograph material) and are pretty much the only embellishment you need to make an outfit stand out. The latest entry in this trend is actually familiar, as designers are rediscovering the ease and simplicity of a classic, simple bow.
You pretty much can’t find a statement blouse this summer without it having some sort of bow accent—either on a strap, on a sleeve, or even on the neckline; same goes for dresses, skirts, trousers, and slide sandals. All you need to be on-trend this season is to tie your lewk up in a bow, apparently. So reacquaint yourself with Blair Waldorf’s embellishment of choice with the pieces ahead.
