8 on-trend hair accessories to upgrade your summer look

Get ready to elevate your hair game as the world of fashion embraces the return of hair clips. These once-retro adornments have resurfaced with a glorious revival, adorning the tresses of Hollywood darlings and gracing the red carpets with undeniable style. From chic ’90s-inspired snap-on clips that exude nostalgic charm to opulent pearl-studded headbands and luscious silk scrunchies, these versatile accessories effortlessly transition your look from day to night, regardless of your chosen hairstyle.

Curly Charisma

Those blessed with a cascade of enviable curls will find this oversized Woven Fabric Hair Clip by Miu Miu both chic and practical. The logo in gold pops against the unexpected texture as the hair clip keeps the hair away from your face. Sweep back your beautiful ringlets altogether, or leave a few curls out of the clip to delicately frame your face and accentuate your natural beauty.

Sleek Sophistication

Headbands offer a low-maintenance way to keep your sleek, straight hair perfectly in place. The Plexiglas Headband by Miu Miu exudes timeless charm in the most sophisticated manner. The contrasting logo on the side also adds a touch of sparkle and keeps the overall aesthetics timeless on days when you rock the all-back or low ponytail look.

Fierce Claws

What used to be a convenient, everyday essential to throw your hair up in the morning is now a trendy comeback. There are so many ways to wear your favorite claw clips. From a relaxed updo when running errands, French twist that is totally cocktail party-ready, to cascading styles that allow your hair to waterfall over the clip for a voluminous look, the sky’s the limit. Prada’s Metal Hair Clip is the perfect size for your half-back style, or to hold your side braid in place.

Tender Waves

Embellish those soft waves of yours with a pair of dainty hair clips that are perfect to hold that side-swept hair in place. The ever-classic look of side-swept bangs with an imperfect parting never seems to go out of style. Yet, as your bangs grow out, you encounter the dilemma of whether to tuck the hair behind your ear or leave it flowing, and that’s when the handy clips come in.

Prada Plexiglas and Metal Barrette features a tortoiseshell pattern with enameled finish that effortlessly complements any neutral palettes you wear.

Snap and Slay

Add these sweet snap-on clips to your collection. The Snap Hair Clips in Brass by Celine draw inspiration from the beloved Y2K aesthetics, infusing your edgy pixie cut or lob with playful and nostalgic vibes. What’s more, the gold tone of these clips beautifully complements a sun-kissed complexion, making them an ideal accessory for the upcoming summer months.

Whimsical Elegance

A nice way to dip your toes into this trend is by dotting your hair with tiny bows or clips. Start with a side French braid to keep the flyaways at bay. Then, embellish the strands with Celine’s Mini Triomphe Claws in Brass. This set of three mini claw clips, resembling dainty butterflies from afar, gracefully dance in your hair, imparting a romantic touch to your feminine look.

While these high-end options from designer houses can be a delightful treat or a way to spoil yourself on special occasions, there are also affordable high-street alternatives that won’t break the bank.

Put a Bow on It

Venna’s Crystal Pavé Stud Hair Bow is a head-turning accessory that brings out the little inner princess in you. The delicate chain details at the center create an intriguing contrast with the larger-than-life bow, infusing it with captivating movement. Perfectly suited for cocktail dresses, this bow elevates your look as the crowning piece.

Mermaid Moment

On the other end of the spectrum is a more subtle iteration of the bow aesthetics by Oyone Paris. Setting itself apart from the chunkier versions, the Hannah sunchie with a long bow adds a delightful touch to your fishtail braid, especially for those beachside moments. With its delicate design, this accessory radiates subtle sophistication and effortless charm to your ensemble.

Thanks to the wide array of hair accessories available, keeping your tresses up and out of the way has evolved into an art form, allowing for self-expression and adding subtle finishing touches to complete your outfits.
