Headbands Are Hot Hair Accessory for Spring 2010

Top off your spring outfit with a little headgear.

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.

Glad the headband is coming back in style. I have a lot of them from long ago. Styles return in time.Young & older people look great in headbands. Lots of new styles out this yr.

Headbands are back...wow! I wore them in the 1970's. A lot of the styles of the 70's are back or coming back. Sadly,even if I had the clothes they would not fit.
Had a pair of Designer jeans that buttoned up the front. they looked like they were spray painted on. They cost me $30.00. And that was a lot then.
I was very thin and they looked great on me. Drove the guys nutzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz lol!

Good Times!

Headgear is a definite style staple! There's no way to better jazz up an otherwise bland ensemble. My only suggestion- be wary of proportions! You don't want to end up looking like a cake topper!
