If you've watched any awards shows, done any online shopping, or browsed any trending hair styles on Pinterest recently, then you've likely spotted that hair bows and ribbons are making a serious comeback this year. At the SAG Awards, actress Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things even wore black hair ribbons streaming from her double-bun hairdo, showing off the trend on the red carpet. Elegant, playful, and Victorian-inspired, these decorative bows add a dash of old-fashioned fun to any look. To embrace the trend and make it look polished enough for work, skip your daughter's accessories collection and choose one of the pretty, sophisticated options below instead.
