So once again, fashion has decided that pussy-bow blouses will be a popular trend during this fall season and quite frankly I’m not mad about it. This blouse exemplifies true elegance and class by featuring a beautiful bow that goes around the neckline, which is a great detail to a simple top giving it more of a finished and polished look. Although this trend seems to be very new, it has actually been around for many decades. Many work opportunities developed for women in the 1960s and 1970s, which left many of them wondering what to wear. The creation of the pussy-bow blouse was the perfect combination of masculine and feminine and it grew to become a powerful, staple piece for women. Iconic designers Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent, who took inspiration from late 19th-century Gibson Girls, made pussy-bow blouses popular during the 1950s. However, it wasn’t until the 1980s that the pussy-bow blouse would truly come into its own. The ever-popular pussy-bow blouse would soon become a favorite of many celebrities including Jennifer Lopez, Kourtney Kardashian, and Olivia Palermo. Take a look below and see some of my favorite pussy-bow tops that you can purchase.
SHOP THE LOOK
You can never really go wrong with wearing black, which is why I love this sheer, black pussy-bow blouse that I found online at It’s My Style. It is a long sleeve, solid color chiffon blouse that is very comfortable to wear and will make any woman the center of attention in any room. This blouse is currently on sale for $49.95.
This vibrant blouse is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe, especially for the fall season. It is 100% silk with button closure at the cuffs. The blouse can be found at the Tory Burch website for $127.
I think it’s safe to say that animal prints will always be a trend for fall. So, if you ask me this leopard print pussy-bow blouse is a must-have. Contrary to the more traditional pussy-bow blouse appearance, the deep v-neckline and the leopard print alone automatically gives this top a more fun and edgier look. This blouse can be purchased online at Express for $39.99.
The color of this crepe blouse is absolutely stunning and is sure to help any businesswoman look sophisticated and feminine. The asymmetric collar, attached bow tie, neckline gathers, and blouson sleeves all help to make this top soft and drapey. You can purchase this blouse online at Bebe for $62.30.
If you’re going for a more youthful yet professional style, this multicolored striped blouse is your best bet. The alluring colors and striped pattern allow this piece to have a fun and airy feel. This striped pussycat bow top is just $15.90 and can be bought online at Forever 21. (Alert: Our editor actually owns this blouse and gets compliments on it all. the. time.)
Personally, I have always been a fan of cold-shoulder tops. It’s a great piece to have in your closet and the open shoulder detail gives the blouse a unique and relaxed look. This blouse is online at Bebe for $89.
This On the Spot Black Polka Dot Top screams adorable! The polka dot print is an automatic eye-catcher and is just enough detailing to complete an outfit therefore making your look effortlessly chic. You can buy this blouse online at Lulus for $52.
Similar to the previous blouse, this pussy-bow top also has a gorgeous print that is floral and instantly creates a feminine look. This too can be purchased online at Lulus for $52.
