2023 Was the Year I Repeat-Wore Bows, and I Found 7 Styles From $7

While I’m not typically one to dress with the trends, there was one major style this past year I couldn’t get enough of: bow-adorned fashion. Hair ribbons, cardigans with tie closures, and accessories with bow details all became part of my regular outfit rotation. And since my frilly fixation isn’t going anywhere in the new year, I found Amazon’s best bow-embellished pieces, starting at just $7.

Tons of celebrities have tried out the trend, such as Kate Middleton in a red cape coat with a bow on the front and Helen Mirren in a pair of black kitten heels with bow details. Many stars have also worn bows in their hair, including Sydney Sweeney and Emma Watson. So, if you want to join me and these A-listers in bow heaven, look no further than my budget-friendly Amazon finds.

NexMe Claw Clip With Bows

My hair ends up in a claw clip most days, so when I saw this $7 hair clip with bows on the sides, I immediately added it to my cart. Available in five ribbon colors and two clip finishes, including glossy and matte, the hair accessory will instantly elevate your look — even if you’re just wearing sweatpants. Plus, a shopper with “very thin hair” said the clip “gives [them] the illusion of having thicker hair,” and someone else described it as the “best girly accessory to dress up next-day hair.” 

Bviie Velvet Bow Barrettes Two-Pack

I’m constantly expanding my collection of barrettes, and I couldn’t resist this pack of two velvet hair bow clips for just $10. The set comes with one black and one maroon barrette, which are the perfect finishing touches for holiday outfits. My favorite way to wear a hair bow is with a half-up, half-down ‘do, but you can also throw it on a ponytail or bun for an extra stylish flair. 

Verdusa Rhinestone Bow Fluffy V-Neck Cropped Cardigan

I’m a sucker for a good cardigan, and once you throw a few bows on there, I have absolutely no choice but to press “buy now.” This Verdusa fluffy cardigan comes in three neutral colors, each with rhinestone bows down the front and a cropped silhouette. It’s incredibly versatile, as you can wear it casually with jeans or dress it up with a silky midi skirt and heels. And at $31, I might just need all three versions.

DKNY Long-Sleeve Tie-Neck Pleated Dress

Bows also make a fun addition to simple dresses, like this DKNY tie-neck pleated number that happens to be on sale for 60 percent off its original price. The day-to-night style has billowing long sleeves and a flouncy hemline that gives the dress movement. Plus, a reviewer confirmed it’s “not too loose and not too tight,” and a second person said it’s “just the right length to wear with heels or flats,” so you can wear it from the office to an evening out.  

Betsey Johnson 3D Bow Flap Bag

Adding a bow onto a classic purse is always a good idea, and this Betsey Johnson flap bag has my name written all over it. Available in black, gold, and ivory, the handbag has a stunning jeweled bow on the front, along with elegant ruching and a magnetic snap closure. Plus, you can wear it three different ways: as a shoulder bag, a clutch, or a crossbody. Especially if you have formal events on the calendar this winter, this bag is a must. 

Lele Sadoughi Bow Stud Earrings

Of course, the bow trend isn’t for everyone, so if you want to subtly lean into it, opt for these Lele Sadoughi earrings. The studs are made from 14-karat gold-plated brass with an imitation pearl in the middle. A shopper even confirmed they’re not “too heavy at all,” so you can comfortably wear them all day. 

Benefeet Sox Lettuce-Trim Socks With Bows Three-Pack

Another under-the-radar bow moment, these lettuce-trim socks have cutesy ribbons on the back that will poke out from your shoes for a delicate flair. They come in a pack of three, including a white, black, and beige pair, and they’re made from 100 percent cotton. I’ve already added these to my cart, and I plan to wear them with chunky loafers for an edgy-yet-feminine look.
