You can absolutely rock a bow. I have 15ish years on you and while it’s not a daily look, there are occasions where I could still pull it off. You have nothing to fear.

I'd say not "any age". I am in my 60s. I just can't see it.
I honestly can't see them looking professional in the workplace. For special occasions or casually, why not?
I’m a big nope on hair bows for adults. I know it isn’t necessarily a popular view but I have yet to see on that doesn’t give off “Interview with a Vampire” vibes. And not in a good way.
Also, hair bows for women has been a recent topic for a few bot members.

With a half up-do, it can look great. At the top of your head closer to the ear, it definitely gives “trying to look like a teenager”. All depends on how your hair is styled.
I can definitely appreciate this sentiment. Still think it can work in the right setting. Small bow, right style.
I don’t see this creating the best impression in work settings
IMO, if you feel the need to ask, it’s a no.
For brunch with the girls or an event, maybe, but it wouldn’t be my top choice.
Then again, what do I know; those lababu dolls are scary

I have an oversized black Chanel lambskin hair bow. I wear it with my hair up with a large bun, chignon or ponytail
Honestly I wish we could all stop with this age thing. Wear whatever you want. 30s is very young. But it seems to me if you’re uncomfortable enough to start a thread, then maybe the answer is don’t wear it. Feeling confident and good about one’s appearance is important for self esteem (to me). I also wouldn’t wear in a professional work setting but maybe that also depends on what type of work field you are in (has nothing to do with age).
These are all whimsical (borderline silly) and imo mostly inappropriate for anyone over 25 in most settings. Even for a 20 year old, I would think this type of look is just for occasional fun. Are people wearing this look as daily wear?
A modest bow on a low ponytail would be one of the ways a +25 year old could do a bow imo.

It's not one of my favorite looks especially in a professional environment.
For the beach or casual, it can be a hit or miss.
One has to try the "bow" on & see what your comfort zone is.

There is an age limit on hair bows? I love headbands and bows! I am a LOT older than 25. Ha.
I am about to buy a bow headband, I love the look.
