White Bow

Bow tags cover any white bow-shaped accessory on a character, such as a bow in their hair, uniforms, or dresses. Large hair accessories that do not fall off or simple neckties on school clothes are common in anime. Their quick, cute, or polished look requires little work. For a change, magical girls, shrine maidens, and butlers wear them.

Very different appearance. Big satin ones with long tails fit the face perfectly, highlighting ponytails or twin tails. Smaller ones fit collars and sleeves and have lace or frills. White highlights the face and neckline against dark hair and bright clothes. Gothic lolita Stocking from Panty and Stocking or ribbon weave Asuna from SAO are examples. Fanart likes to make them gravity-defying loops for "anime style" or real for a modern school uniform.

Lolita, cosplay, and Harajuku kawaii styles use white bows. From slice-of-life school stories to fantasy series, they represent pure-hearted heroines. From everyday cute to over-the-top magical girl flair, this tag has many accessories that make characters likeable.
