Every so often fashion has a cyclical moment where we see an unexpected blast from the past become all the rage. Then boom! All of a sudden, Instagram feeds become flooded with cult items snatched from that particular era. Right now, Y2K fashion is having a revival and slowly but surely items like low-rise jeans and wedge sandals are being brought out of hiding. Some people are happy, others not so much...

One item which is clearly having its moment is the thick headband. And nine time's out of ten when you're lucky enough to catch a candid Bella Hadid, she's got one on (if she's wearing something, you know it's cool). We're not exactly sure where this accessory got its fame, but 2000's baddies, Hilary Duff and Britney Spears, rocked this staple piece from time to time. I mean how could you hate this accessory? It's so loved and so versatile. Pair it with a chill lounge set and channel balletcore like Bella, or perhaps opt for a flowy summer dress, the choice is yours.

Luckily for you, if you're feeling a tad nostalgic you can achieve this look for just £3! This accessory is the easiest way to 'Y2Kify' your wardrobe on a budget.
