Bejwelled barrettes aplenty are the flavour of the season. No longer reserved just for an evening look, they now bring magic and dazzle to everyday life. Scoop up sparkling grips and clips densely studded with diamante and pearl detail and adorn your head generously. Apply on both sides, towards the back or by decorating little braids as part of a unique multi-part updo. Remember, more is more! For a bag on trend alternative, you can play with diamante encrusted wordy hair clips. This seasons catwalks saw barrettes proclaiming sentiments such as, “BAD” and “DREAM”, along with names of cities like “LONDON” and “TOKYO.” If you’re prepared to delve deeper into your pockets and aboard the logo-mania bandwagon of 2019, opt for golden clips that spell, ‘RODARTE’, or pearlized grips that weave the word, ‘CHANEL’.
Headbands continue to make headway as they trickle into the new season from the last. The fashionable way to wear a headband is unfortunately also the least useful one; plotted right on top of your head, making room for an inch and a half of centre parted hair, as the fall 2019 hair accessory trends dictate. Continue to twinkle with velvet bands of jewels, pearls and swaths of silk knots in rich colours, reminiscent of turbans. And again, that’s just the daytime look. By night, you can dress up in glittering, festooned looped headbands that will remind you of a tiara. For a more stripped back version, opt for simple, wide black hairbands, still every bit as chic and very, ‘Audrey Hepburn’.
Ladylike charm continues to reign in style with bows and ribbons. These feminine embellishments showed up all over Fashion Week as some of the more ubiquitous Winter 2019 hair accessories. Models graced the catwalk at Emilia Wickstead with their hair pulled up into a top knot, secured at the base with a small bow. At Chanel, semi-ponytails were often secured with black ribbons, while at Oscar de la Renta, the same treatment was given to low-slung braids. Find and team monochrome grosgrain pre-tied ribbons secured to barrettes for a no-nonsense perfect bow to add demure girlish flair to your outfit.
You don’t have to wear massive flower crowns or ultra-blingy clips every day, since the fall 2019 hair accessory trends also included simple, visable Kirby grips. We like these hair accessories as they fit in better with some of the more minimalist fall 2019 fashion trends we saw this season. The hair was as simple as can be at Blumarine, with soft waves and a side part that was kept neat with the help of a single, brown bobby pin. This lent a schoolgirl effect to the runway. The use of metallic jumbo bobby pins at Lela Rose was minimalist yet creative. Three parallel bobby pins were applied along the side of the pulled-back hair, adding just a touch of shine.
Finally, scrunchies will still be there, like a reliable old friend for all the bad hair days and for the times we have no time to create wild and wonderful hair dos. The chunkier the better and the more embellished and colourful the cooler. Select abstract prints, pearly options or designer logo adorned designs to surround your top knots. Keep Your Hair Messy. Scrunchies lend themselves to a relaxed, off-duty aesthetic.
