Accessories come and go, but headbands are the ones that never seem to disappear from our wardrobes. They've been making a regular appearance on the fashion set for a while now—although not overly prominent, it's the piece that pops back up just when you think it's about to leave. Simple, '90s-inspired headbands are especially having a moment right now, thanks to Schiaparelli's F/W 23 runway that is still on everybody's minds in 2024. (Thank you, Daniel Roseberry!) Now all it takes is an easy hair accessory to fix your bad hair day and look runway-ready. We just can't get enough of the classic headpiece.
Headbands are no longer just the preppy ones you saw on Blair Waldorf's head in Gossip Girl. They've become more refined and understated, and worn by the likes of Bella Hadid and Jennifer Lawrence. Keep scrolling to find 15 headbands that'll instantly make your outfit feel elegant, and work for your style preference, whether you like sleek lines or embellished shapes.
French-girl style is elite, and this simple headband will have you following in their footsteps. These are handcrafted in France and available in nine colors for endless versatility.
For just $8, you can get the Schiaparelli look.
We're a big fan of Sophie Buhai's luxe jewelry, but the hair accessories maintain the same elegance. If a thick headband isn't your vibe, this slim silhouette is for you.
Perfect to pair with your all-white outfits this summer.
If you're not one to wear color in your outfit, let it shine through your accessories. A small touch like this can easily bring your outfit to the next level.
Why stick to gold jewelry when you can have a gold headband, too? Simply ethereal.
If you are a bride (or know one) with events coming up, may I suggest this beautiful headband? It would be perfect for a bridal shower or even an engagement shoot!
And if you're a bride that likes something a little extra, this is a stellar option.
Classic.
Carolyn Besette-Kennedy was often spotted with a tortoise headband just like this one. If it got her stamp of approval, it's chic. I don't make the rules.
Satin headbands can get a tad pricey, so here's an ideal affordable option.
This minty color just feels so fresh for summer.
When you have a headband like this, you can say goodbye to bad hair days.
Another great affordable option, thanks to H&M.
