I'm going to let you in on a secret - there's a micro-trend back in town that's so easy to emulate, you’re going to wonder why you haven’t done it before.
You’ve probably seen last summer's most popular dresses on your Instagram feed; frothy, usually floral and undeniably fancy. Names like Sleeper, Loveshackfancy and Faithfull the Brand have infiltrated social feeds all over the world. But it's not just the dresses causing a stir – it's the fact that a lot of them come with their very own matching hair accessories. As we're all desperately looking towards the summer months, not only for freedom from Covid-19 that we're all praying for, but a welcome introduction of joyful and fanciful ensembles to add to our #OOTD.
It’s a big year for the hair accessory, too. It was spotted in various guises on the SS20 catwalks in the form of clips, bows and crystals. There was also the recent announcement of the new castof the Gossip Girl reboot, suggesting that sales of headbands are about to soar. For the most of-the-minute take on the hair accessory trend, however, you'll need to match it to your frock.
Banish thoughts of your school scrunchie, 2020's matchy-matchy is achievable in many ways. From Sleeper sending its dresses with excess fabric that you can use as a hair bow to Zimmerman's floral bandanas and Gestuz's scrunchies, you can currently find a lot of dress and hair accessory combos in all your favourite shops.
