AIBU to really not like hair bows on grown ups?

[Alcoholtakingherlife]

I don't mind little hair bows on small children, massively dislike Jojo bows though. My pet hate is those huge oversized bows that grown women wear. I never say anything in real life but why? A huge black or navy coloured bow perched at the back of your head? Nope from me. I know it's fashion but they really irritate me to be honest. Anyone else?

I came to say the exact same thing

Better than the single huge artificial flowers strapped to the head, on children or adults.. The velvet bow looks quite elegant.

I wore big hair bows in the 1980s.
Now i have a pixie cut which is shaved on one side.

Bodily autonomy. You do you.

YABU because it has no impact on anyone else.

I don’t like dungarees nor trousers worn with skirts or dresses. So l don’t wear either. Simples!

Why does a baby need any decorating?

Not everything we do in life is a 'need'...

I just don’t care 🤷‍♀️ Don’t go to DisneyWorld then, everyone there, adults and kids alike, are sporting Minnie Mouse ears. I myself have 7 very fetching pairs and don’t care if anyone calls me a Disney adult.

I’ve seen half up, half down hair with a small bow or a messy bun with a small bow at the side look pretty on adult women. Must be the way they wear it!

I’ve never seen a JoJo bow on an adult though.

People get all worked up on threads like these about being “judgy” and “what’s it to do with you”, but people are allowed to express opinions and have conversations. It’s not something to be offended by.

I have mixed feelings on them. I think they look nice in the pictures up thread but would never wear one myself, I’d feel like a total prick.

I do absolutely hate a bow on a baby though. People only put them on so everyone knows it’s a girl and I think they are ugly, probably uncomfortable and pose a slight danger in some cases. I saw one the other day and the bow was literally as big as the babies head. Tragic.

It’s one of life’s greatest mysteries, other people liking things that I find ridiculous. 😉

I really like them 😂
I don’t know why as they’re rather twee (not meant as an insult I just can’t think of a better word) - I don’t have one because I think it would look silly on my head but I do think they look quite sweet really.
mind you I saw them everywhere at Christmas and then not since so perhaps they’re more seasonal around here?

I don’t like them either, ive seen a few woman in their 30s wearing massive bows its gives primary child vibes.

Oh yes masses of those here around Christmas time now I think of it. Usually with a velvet dress. Still looked lovely but in a ‘costumey’ way.

What other people wear doesn't bother me as long as nobody tries to make me wear it too.

I wouldn't wear bows in my hair most of the year but do have a couple of Christmassy ones I wear in December. As a care worker I can't wear much jewellery etc so it let's me dress up a bit without compromising infection control or client safety. Clients love it and if it brings a bit of joy to them and me who cares?

My eyes are fine but I have never seen anyone wear anything like that IRL.

Where do people live that this is a thing? I’ve never seen it.

Is it a new thing?

This type in particular. Its like a primary school child.

It’s abit like wearing a hat, I can never like impractical things like that! they get wet & blown about in wind lol, I. put down to my ADD!

I imagine this being a look for people who go to Henley Regatta.

Everyone is allowed an opinion of course but I can't imagine giving this any thought beyond 'they are/are not my thing'. The OP has started a thread to slag off hair bows and says it irritates her. I find that quite baffling.

Quite like the velvet ones. Will buy one off the back of this thread and wear it with pride. Thanks OP ☺️

You never leave your area?

Just not really practical on the tube during rush hour, and I can already hear the groans on the 188 bus...

Plus it's a bit small. You want one that really makes a statement

I know. It looks terrible.

Headbands give me a headache, bows don’t. I have a few that I mainly wear in December (velvet, pearl and satin) and I am contemplating a linen one for summer.

I’m intrigued by this now.

what do you wear them with? Do you dress in quite a demure / traditional way? Do you go to church / Henley regatta?
