...on Monday Susanna (GMB) wearing a very large-pussy-cat-bowed blouse with a powder blue jacket. It looked just like a 1980s Lady Di ensemble.
Please don't let this be coming back into 'fashion'!!

God yeah she looked awful 😄 - although aged 10 me would have loved it back in the 80’s!

Well Kamala Harris wore a navy trouser suit with a pussy bow blouse for her acceptance speech at the Democratic Convention. The outfit was by Chloe IIRC and she wore it well. The trousers and jacket had modern lines, but yes - that bow took me back!

Supposedly fashion taps in to our collective subconscious. What are these pussy bows saying?

notacooldad · 03/09/2024 09:20

There's already pussybow shirts in Primark so I guess the look is already back

Purplecatshopaholic · 03/09/2024 09:22

Pussy bows are back, seen a few around. Not my cup of tea, so one trend I will be avoiding. Too Maggie Thatcher for me, lol

It’s “demure”, you know. It was supposed to be ironic but doesn’t seem to be in practice.

I love a pussybow blouse! Looks greater with straight leg jeans and pointed boots or little flats for work.

KreedKafer · 03/09/2024 10:05

Pussy bow tops have been back in the shops for about five years.

PhoebeFeels · 03/09/2024 10:08

Oh! No! I shall plead advancing age and pass.
It would feel like the 6ft long red tie they give Trump in cartoons

MorrisZapp · 03/09/2024 10:08

I love a pussy bow but never in white over a black top or jacket, I've seen too many westerns with hanging judges banging gavels.

Since when was GMB in general and Susannah Reid in particular the source for the latest fashion? 🤔

Thistooshallpass24 · 03/09/2024 10:18

I don't think she executed the look well, her hair is a odd shade of blonde/caramel, the big glasses and the ( in my opinion cheap looking) blue jacket I think that the shirt was the nicest part!

Was about to post with a 🤢 emoji for pussy cat bows, but I really like this look, so am now going to it check out. Not sure I could take on board powder blue/pastel jackets, although I have been known to pair pink with khaki combats…

I won't have you Hatfield hoodlums running round this county selling moonshine! Send them down!

PeggyMitchellsCameo · 03/09/2024 10:21

I think (it’s just my opinion) that these looks suit younger women - they have a sense of irony.
Once you reach a certain age you start looking like you’ve walked off the set of ‘Acorn Antiques’ - Miss Babs territory.

KirstenBlest · 03/09/2024 10:22

Ties for women are trending too. Looks I'll be avoiding.

Ah loved Acorn Antiques! Miss Babs, Mrs Overall walking into the postbox... priceless.

I love pussy bows. I do think that you need to have a certain look to get away with them.
I don’t watch GMB so no idea who the lady is and what she looks like.

This is the lady in question. To be fair, I love that shade of blue.

I do like a low pussy bow but Suzanna's outfit was a bit too Maggie Thatcher for me

RaraRachael · 03/09/2024 10:57

Mary Nightingale was wearing a pussy bow blouse on the news last night.
It reminded me of my mother buying these monstrosities in the 80s in homage to her heroine, Mrs Thatcher.

What if it is trendy? You don't have to wear it just because others are.

She looks like willie wonka there
