6 ways to accessorize with hair bows this winter
Move over, claw clips—this new hair accessory has taken girls on social media by storm: Dainty, cute, coquette hair bows have been all over TikTok and IG as gals proudly add ribbons to their everyday fits. They've gotten creative with styling bows in other ways, too (think: as accessories on pants and shirts).
If you're looking for inspo on how to style your bows this winter, we got you covered from head to toe.
Half-up half-down
A half-up half-down hairstyle is a classic for a reason! Match the style of the bow to your outfit for a chic touch—and an elegant way to keep your hair out of your face.
Two braids
Add a pop of color to your braids with tiny hair bows tied onto the ends of your hair. (Psst: This hairstyle looks great with a turtleneck!)
High pony
Don't overlook a simple high ponytail: This look is perf for wash day, especially if you're looking for a way to slay the slicked-back look.

Tying ribbons onto your belt loops is one of the cutest ways to add some flair to an otherwise plain pair of blue jeans. If you're really feeling crafty, you can sew the bows onto the back pockets of your jeans to last forever.
