Bow blouses
The bow blouse is a timeless classic every woman deserves in her wardrobe. At Topvintage, elegance and comfort go hand in hand – and that’s exactly why the bow blouse has earned its iconic status.
The bow blouse in the spotlight
The bow blouse is more than just a garment – it’s a style statement. Defined by its graceful bow at the neckline, this elegant piece rose to fame thanks to fashion icons like Coco Chanel. Inspired by 1940s and 1950s fashion, it exudes poise and sophistication, channelling vintage elegance with a modern twist that fits seamlessly into today’s wardrobe.
A powerful fashion piece
Emerging in the early 20th century as a feminine take on traditional menswear, the bow blouse featured a decorative bow in place of a tie. By the 1960s and 70s, it had become a powerful symbol of femininity and professionalism. In the 1980s, it took centre stage in the era of power dressing, worn by women making bold statements in business and beyond.
Today, the bow blouse remains a timeless staple – elegant, versatile and effortlessly chic. Whether for work or weekends, its graceful details and flattering shape make it a go-to piece for vintage lovers and modern muses alike.
Colours and styles for every mood
From crisp whites with contrasting black bows to bold florals and playful prints, the Topvintage collection of bow blouses comes in every colour and style you could wish for. A white bow blouse is a wardrobe essential, but why not add a pop of personality with retro polka dots or a 70s-inspired pattern?
Choose from luxurious fabrics like silk or chiffon for evening elegance, or opt for cotton and linen for relaxed daytime dressing. Thoughtful details like puffed sleeves, delicate buttons and subtle ruffles give each piece its own retro flair.
Effortless elegance for special occasions
For moments when you want to shine, a bow blouse is the perfect choice. Whether you’re heading to a romantic dinner, attending a party or dressing for a wedding, this refined piece never fails to impress. The bow at the neckline adds a feminine flourish, while rich fabrics like satin or silk bring just the right amount of glamour.
How to style a bow blouse
There’s more than one way to wear a bow. Tie it neatly for a classic, polished finish or let the ends drape freely for a softer, more relaxed effect. Either way, it’s a versatile piece that adapts to your style mood.
Pair it with high-waisted trousers or a vintage skirt to highlight that retro silhouette. For a modern twist, tuck it into a leather or denim skirt. And don’t forget to add accessories – a statement belt or delicate necklace can elevate your look in seconds.
