HAIRBANDS, THE NEW HANDBAGS?

Blair Waldorf would be so proud.  Hair bands, hair crowns, hair clips, silk hair scarves.  They've all dominated the fashion world this year and they're still on the rise.  Even Selfridges have increased their hair accessories products by an amazing 700 percent!  From Gucci to Topshop, everyone is stocking them.

But why has this trend suddenly blown up?  One possibility could be that as we become more aware of fast fashion and the affect it's having on our environment, we are making more sustainable fashion choices.

Unless you're buying designer, hair accessories are relatively cheaper than buying a new outfit, especially if you feel under constant pressure to buy new for the 'gram.  Hairbands are an easy way to hide unruly hair, a great alternative the "mum bun" and scrunchies are cool again so whip that hair in a pony girl!

I just find that a glam hair clip, or head crown can jazz up even the most boring of outfits.  A subtle pony tail can look just that little bit more chic if you add a scarf.  So many ways to wear them and so many styles.  There are hundreds of tutorials on You Tube teaching you how to wear a head scarf, or ways to style your hair and then add accessories.

If a full on embellished head band on the school run isn't your thing, just switch up your usual hair grips for one with a little sparkle or simple ribbon or scrunchie.

Always ask yourself, what would Blair Waldorf do?

Love
