Bows and Hair Ribbons Are Here to Stay According to the Spring/Summer 2024 Runways
From Sandy Liang to Mirror Palais, ribbons were back in a big way on the Spring/Summer 2024 runways at New York Fashion Week, but with a modern twist.
Balletcore has been trending this year, and along with it, all things girly, including ribbons and bows. The accessory plays a major role in creating that soft, romantic aesthetic, whether it's through hair accessories, dress straps, shoe adornments, or simply tying a ribbon on anything that feels too plain. The trend doesn't appear to be dying down anytime soon though, especially now that the runways at New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2024 have breathed new life into the look.
For Mirror Palais, it was clear that ribbons were a major part of its vision for the spring season. They appeared in several different looks, taking shape in various forms. A handful of models sported bows as hair ribbons, while others were styled having satin ribbons tied around their necks.
For many, Sandy Liang has become synonymous with ribbons and bows, especially with the brand's signature aesthetic merging balletcore and pageantcore. However, rather than focus on bows as strict hair accessories as we've seen in the past, Sandy Liange used ribbons as garment detailing. Look no further than the creative take on the massive bow belts or the vertical bow detailing that's a whimsical alternative to a button-down.
While the deconstruction and reinterpretation of ribbons and bows are forecasted to be a big trend come next spring, they continue to have a major presence for street-style looks. If you're looking to sport bows for the current season, look no further than these off-runway style inspiration moments.
