From oversize bows at Marc by Marc Jacobs to Indian-inspired beads at William Rast, headbands made their mark on the Spring and Fall 2010 runways.
Whether simple or over-the-top, this hair accessory trend caters to every style.
The traditional headband (classic and simple) was made a prep-school staple by Gossip Girl fashion snob Blair Waldorf. Worn with a J.Crew sweater and floral skirt, this accessory can pull your outfit together to look polished and sophisticated.
For the boho-hippie version, try a colorful beaded or stitched band draped around beachy locks. A favorite style of celebs like Kate Hudson, it's a great choice for a summer music festival (demonstrated by Paris Hilton at Coachella)
For something edgier, indulge in a wider, military-inspired piece like the warrior-esque headbands on the Alexander Wang Spring 2010 runway.
A versatile trend, the headband can be both a statement piece and an everyday accessory. Shop the selection of headbands below for one that fits your style sensibility.
