“Bow Nails”: This manicure trend fits perfectly into the fashion zeitgeist – and into the 2024 festive season
It was the beginning of January 2024, we had just separatedrecovered, they were suddenly everywhere: on zippers on bags, as a replacement for hair ties on ponytails, on earrings and as fasteners on the latest It Girl blouses. We’re talking – of course – about loops!
was the name given to the ribbon craze that particularly resonated with Gen Z - and if we're being honest, we thought the trend would disappear just as quickly as the "Mob Wife" aesthetic and other micro-trends that popped up Social media circulated this year. But: We've been proven wrong, and fashion, beauty and even interior professionals are still hard at work this winter.
This makes the bow trend still so popular in winter 2024
The “Coquette” or bow hype is essentially the direct result of two other major trend movements: Firstfrom 2023, which reminded us that things that are read as hyperfeminine have to be anything but banal - and that perhaps we have banned glitter and rhinestones from our lives for too long to avoid being labeled as "chicks". The real problem here: the patriarchy that credibly sold us in the first place that being a “chick” meant we were also less smart. In short: sexist bullshit that we will leave behind in 2024!
The second pioneer of the bow trend: the general aesthetic turn towards maximalism, which we have seen not only in the fashion and beauty world (hello, Brat!), but also in interiors, where after years the “sad beige aesthetic” is suddenly back The “more is more” motto of the 70s seems to apply. What could be better than bows, which instantly give everything and everyone a festive look.
For the 2024 festive season this means: bows as a replacement for balls on the Christmas tree, bows as a bracelet around the wrist - but also: bows on the nails.
This is how the beauty professionals wear the bow trend as a manicure
The best thing: “Bow” nails are available in pretty much all trendy colors, from minimalist to maximalist, and they provide an extra eye-catcher in no time, even if you choose a simple outfit for Christmas, Hanukkah, etc.
