These bow tied blouses are very popular and they look great. You can use them to work and for business casual look or under a jacket for a business professional attire.
Here are some ideas in for your bow tied blouse:
I love navy, it looks very professional and sheer fabrics will look very elegant. (long or short sleeves)
Details in contrasting will make a stunning bow tied blouse! I love classic black and white, but you can play with different color combinations.
