RED VELVET ANTOINETTE BOW BARRETTE

Styling: Pair the velvet bow with stacked gold bangles, a silk camisole, and high-rise trousers for an after-five look that leans into the bow's romantic drama. Tone down scale by pairing the bow with dainty gold huggies, a thin layered necklace set, and a slip dress for a date night where the hair does the talking. Go full coquette: wear the bow with a contrasting oversized white rosette headband pushed back, pearl drop earrings, and a fitted cardigan for a layered-accessory moment that still works because the earrings are quiet.

Occasions: Sunday stroll through a gallery opening in the Arts District, Brunch with the girls at a boutique hotel, After-work cocktails on a downtown rooftop

Color pairings: Black, Ivory, Soft gold
