Yes, my dear readers, they are still here and perhaps will never run out of style. Remember Melania Trump with her wild ping Gucci blouse? And what about the amazing Julia Roberts? And have you seen Kate Middleton? Icons, that know very well how to wear a pussy-bow blouses.
In the 80s, Margaret Thatcher was known as much for her uncompromising politics as her inimitable style. As Britain’s first female prime minister, she developed a signature uniform — some would say a suit of armor — that set the gold standard for career women across the globe. Her look was, as she called it, “never flashy, just appropriate“: A power suit, a black Asprey handbag, a single string of pearls and, of course, pussy-bow blouses that were “rather softening and pretty.” Those unmistakable bow blouses that were once the buttoned-up symbol of the Thatcher era have undergone a major transformation this season.
Wear it with a pair of high waisted pants, to create real vintage vibes, but adding the effect of long legs and a long torso due to the long bow hanging around your neck! But bows are nice also on the back, so why not? Instead of wearing it on your front, turn it into an edgy look by flipping it onto your back! If you want to be even more daring, try wearing the pussy bow blouse as a dress or a romper or jumpsuit. If you don’t think you can pull off wearing the pussy bow blouse without looking like a grandma (but never forget that vintage is always super cool), opt for a pussy bow blouse that can be adjusted. This way you can create a v-neck pussy bow blouse that adds a bit more risque to the look.
Play around with it a bit and play with length depending on what your wearing. If you don’t think that the long pussy bow blouse is emphasizing your features and it is not elongating your torso, but rather making it look shorter and stubbier, opt for a shorter bow. And these blouses go with whatever you want: jeans, high waisted pants, skirts, midi and plated skirts, long skirts, under the blazer or with a Vichy wool coat.
