Printed bell bottoms aside, have y’all noticed the resurgence of super classic styles this season? On and off the runways, I’m loving the no-frills approach to design I’m seeing all over… timeless materials used to create looks that straddle the line between masculine and feminine. Exhibit A: This simple bunch of white tulips, wrapped in butcher paper and tied up with a black satin bow makes a chic, effortless hostess gift… the days of fussy fêting are over! From outfitting to table designs, I’ve got big plans to polish off my spring looks with a perfectly knotted black ribbon. Follow the jump for more inspirational ideas!
That. table. setting… absolutely gorgeous!
I absolutely love these simple ideas – the black bow is definitely a trend to run with!

Love that the fussiness is going away!! Simple, yet effective.
So classic! I love it. I love the table set up too. So pretty.
I like the first picture as weelas the last one. It’s a different way to use a bow.
kisses!
I didn’t know a table setting could be sexy, but that one is! WOW, love it!
Coco Chanel would be so proud….
The silk ribbon juxtaposed with the kraft paper looks fabulous!
the tulips just warm my heart… plus anything wrapped in butcher paper is my fave.
Love this little roundup Chanel!! I’m especially smitten with the black bows tied around the vintage silver… a total glam-rustic combo.
Certainly adds a bit of class to anything! Although one inspiration that’s missing: a well-fitted suit with a crisp black bow tie!
All these images are so so gorgeous, very elegant and refined.
Great collection! Little black bows can make a big impact.
I love this! Such a simple idea, but the black velvet adds so much glamor.
