It goes without saying that hair accessories were huge this year, both figuratively and literally. From Chanel's camellias to Prada's oversized headbands, fashion's latest obsession is what we're all wearing in our hair. This is great news for anyone looking to save time, avoid faff and achieve great hair. Which is possibly everyone.

Renowned hair stylist Zoe Irwin agrees that accessories are one of the biggest trends to hit the hair arena this year. Here are her top tips for getting them right from the get-go, whatever your hair type.

Best Accessories For: Cropped Hair

‘I love a jewelled headband on cropped hair, like the ones we saw at the Simone Rocha AW19 show. When it comes to hair clips, opt for chunky ones and double them up at one side like they did at Versace’s AW19 show.’

Best Accessories For: Bobbed Hair

‘Jaw length hair looks great taken off the face with an ornate headband. Make sure to add in a soft, undone wave too.’

Best Accessories For: Long Hair

‘Go for a half up, half down style and place a hair clip at the back. This is a very Parisian look and worked well in the Chanel AW19 show.’

Best Accessories For: Curly Hair

‘More textured hair looks incredible with hair clips worn right at the front and just above the height of the brow bone. For longer hair with curls toss it all to one side and place longer clips diagonally on the other.’
