Headbands to Wear Beyond Wonderland

Alice’s headband through the looking glass.

The quintessential school girl staple is seeing a sophisticated rebirth this season, growing into decidedly covetable, grown-up shapes and sizes and spotted perched on the heads of style queens Alexa Chung, Vanessa Hong and the Duchess of Cambridge.

Bright shiny satin and opulent adornments breathe new life into an old classic. Heighten your imagination in puffy pastel hues or channel your inner monarch with dark velvet. Touted as 2019’s power accessory, coronate yourself whenever you want to amplify your noble air, from Monday meetings to days at the races.

Finding our own sense of #Queendom, the headpiece seems rather fitting for the times we live in. High-collared dresses add to a state of significance, where masculine shirting and outerwear make a modern impact. Of course a woman doesn’t need a crown to know that she’s a queen, but a bejewelled wardrobe reminder to top yourself up is an easy investment in self-care.
