Pulling Off Headbands Like a Pro – The Do’s and Don’ts

Ah, headbands! The secret to every amazing outfit. Don’t you think it’s quite remarkable how one single accessory can make or break your outfit? Ever since Gossip Girl came out, everyone who’s anyone has been obsessing over Blair Waldorf’s inimitable style. But it wasn’t just a TV series that ignited this trend, as many designers have sent out models wearing mighty headpieces, from Dolce & Gabbana’s eloquent accessories to Gucci’s eclectic styles and Miu Miu’s classy headbands.

Granted, there are some headpieces that make us totally cringe, but most of the time, we’re all left wondering how to gracefully pull them off without looking like we’ve just walked out of an 80’s high school prom movie. And so, to help you master this timeless trend, we’ve decided to highlight some guidelines that will take you from nay to yay in no time. Scroll down for what’s in and what’s out.

For a creative addition to your outfit, do pick embellished headbands – think stones and pearls.

Don’t wear bandanas. Not only are they so out, but they also ruin the sanity of your hair.

Do go for a bohemian style and use a scarf as a headpiece.

Don’t adopt a school-girl vibe, as it will only make you look outdated. That said, avoid standard and classic headbands; if you want a headpiece, go all out.

Do opt for trendy turbans. Channel the Diana Ross in you and get yourself one hot turban!

Finally, if you’re a princess at heart, then you probably already know that tiaras are in. So do get yourself one sleek tiara and wave at your court!
