Accessory report: Bow ties are on trend
By Stephanie Boridy

When it comes to style, accessories play a central role. While some might err on the side of caution (also known as less is more) there is also the fashion camp (pioneered by stylist excess-ordinaire, Rachel Zoe) that believes in the playful and statement-making side of accessorizing. For the purpose of this latest flirty bow tie trend, we’re siding with the latter. Like any accessory, this menswear-inspired trend can be styled a multiple of fashionable ways from collegiate à la Blair Waldorf to androgynous like Rihanna at the 2009 Met Gala and irresistibly feminine as illustrated by Trang from Behind the Seams, the 2009 winner of America’s Most Stylish blogger award. There are no rules for this trend—drawing inspiration from any of the former trendsetters, we suggest channeling your inner sartorial chameleon and experimenting with this one!
