These 7 bow shoes are all tied up as the season's hottest footwear trend

The feminine style scripture that dominated hair accessories last year (think classic Chanel bow ties) has found new footing—quite literally. From dazzling sparkles to subtle nuanced bows, this knot is tying looks together across the fashion spectrum, with every step. The bow trend has elevated the footwear scene in a way we didn't think we needed. Spotting our favourites in the footwear section, here is a collection that you better run (not walk) to add to your cart. 

STYLISH BOW SHOES TO ADD TO YOUR LIST

1. Chanel's Final Bow Sandals

Titled “Final Bow,” Chanel’s Spring-Summer 2025 Pre-Collection features a classic slingback sandal available in four colours. With its clean lines and minimal silhouette, the shoe is the quintessential minimal statement, fueling the rise of the ever-growing bow trend without veering into overstatement.

2. Marc Jacobs

The footwear on the Marc Jacobs 2025 runway was a showcase of eclectic curios that made statements—and how! Our favourite was the one with bows (no surprise there). Carrying the oomph were the exaggerated, elongated velvet heels with a thread-like bow adorned in the front.  Bold, offbeat, and dripping in drama, this pair delivered the label’s signature theatricality.

3. Balmain's Suede Ruby heels 

Balmain’s Resort Collection gave bows the high-octane treatment. The Suede Ruby heels lent a few too many rhinestones to its bow, perched at the top, making it a sight to behold. The 9.5 cm heel is shrouded in complementing leather, making the shoe an object d’art that is sure to amp up any outfit. 

4. Ferragamo's Vara Bow Jane heels

A master of quiet luxury, Ferragamo is often remembered for its classic ballerina-style shoes. Always extending an experimentative approach to their footwear—be it fringe, exquisite tailoring or lace-up ribbons—their newest standout is the Vara Bow Mary Jane from the Spring/Summer 2025 collection. The bow here, bears the signature buckle of the brand, carrying the tonal block heel with a reimagined twist.

5. Dior's Toujours Slingback pumps 

Dior never misses a chance to redefine a trend; often the trends they have been credited to create. Entering the bow scene with their Summer 2025 collection is the Dior Toujours Slingback Pump. Crafted in perforated lambskin and finished with a jacquard bow, the shoe offers a minimal, refined take on the trend.

6. Converse's Chuck 70 Love sneakers

Tying the bow is not just limited to the heeled silhouettes. The chunky counterparts have also embraced femininity as Converse’s Chuck 70 Love brings romance to the streetwear table. With a textured, enlarged bow at the back, these were designed keeping gowns in mind.

7. Jimmy Choo's Staz Mule 50 heels

Manipulating the proportions of a bow to cinematic effect, The Staz Mule 50 from Jimmy Choo is a blessing in vintage metallic leather. A pointed-toe micro-heel topped with an exaggerated bow is the defining shoe of the modern retro aesthetic, featured in their Spring 2025 collection. 

These iconic labels, literally took a bow to create the season's chicest footwear picks.
