Headband mania: to whom it suits and how to wear it
Lately, this is one of the most requested questions on my IG Stories: to whom the hair band suits the best? How to wear it?
Yes, because for some time now they have been seen almost everywhere!
LAUNCHED ON CATWALK
As Simona Melani had anticipated us, designers dusted off this 90s accessory and made it a must-have item for this season.
… LOVED BY THE PRINCESS …
Kate Middleton has worn the headband on several occasions, always focusing on rounded and rather important models.
On the other hand, the optical effect is that of a crown …
CONSECRATED BY THE INFLUENCER
But we cannot speak of a true trend if it is not consecrated by influencers. Indeed, from the influencer: one above all, Chiara Ferragni.
In these photos of some time ago, she also wears it, anticipating the trend!
WHEN WEARING THE HEADBAND
It is a hair accessory, so it should have more luck in the warm months, when in addition to style you also appreciate it for its practicality.
In summer we choose it in satin or cotton and we can also combine it with a crop like braid.
Having said that, the headband is already popular for some time and has also established itself as a winter accessory.
The most beautiful and most famous version is the one in velvet and / or more embrodied …
WITH WHICH STYLE CAN WE COMBINE THE BAND?
It goes well with a feminine style: green light for skirts and dresses, often with retro taste.
Interesting floral fabrics and micro patterns, also in contrast.
But the headband is an ultra contemporary accessory and we find many examples of street style to copy right away!
Beautiful, for example, with a trench coat or a classic blazer.
THE RIGHT FACIAL SHAPE FOR THE HEADBAND
But the real question is: who is the headband good for?
In pole position the oval face, the diamond face and the square one.
Less good for the oblong face, the inverted triangle and in general the particularly lean faces.
The round face and the heart face will prefer the circle in the turban version, or higher in the center.
All that remains is to stock up on headbands: I recommend, however, always in your palette, not to forget the color analysis! 😉
