Hair accessories: when and how to wear them 2021 / 2022
In the 80s, the hair accessory was invaluable. Almost every style involved some kind of accessory or embellishment to really make it stand out. Today, hair accessories are not a part of everyday style and care must be taken in when and how to wear them so that they do not look dated.
That said, there are some occasions that cry out for accessories - work, social occasions, and formal events can have you looking for the perfect accessory to highlight your style. While different hair accessories will be required on different occasions, a good rule of thumb is to choose the quietest accessory rather than one that cannot go unnoticed in a crowd of a few hundred or thousands.
While choosing the right one can be tricky, there are a few tips you can follow to help you choose the perfect hair accessories to complete your look. Here are just a few:
Hair accessories at work
· Job. In many work situations, you may have to wear your hair up. It doesn't matter if your type of job requires it or you just like to change your appearance from time to time, wearing your hair up requires the right accessory to get the job done. Rule number one for finding the right ornaments for the job is to avoid banana clips at all costs. I mean, who still does these things? Apparently they are making money out of it or they wouldn't keep producing these 80's torture devices. Don't promote their cause - stop buying this accessory. The second rule of thumb is to choose accessories that match or go well with your hair color. Pairing a hair clip with your clothes is only cute when you're 5 years old. What you choose will largely depend on the length of your hair and how you like to wear it up. For French twists, choose hair accessories that resemble oversized hair clips. Just twist and hold.
Hair accessories Formal and social occasions
· Social and formal occasions. On social and formal occasions you have a greater opportunity to express your artistic side through accessories. Again choose quiet pieces instead of flashy eye-catching. Elegant pieces can be perfect for social occasions, while a small sprig of flowers or an ornament may be necessary for formal occasions. Formal occasions are the only time when it's okay to pair your accessory with your clothes. But still, don't overdo it. It should be the beauty of your hair that attracts attention, not the overly busy additions. If you have doubts about which accessory or how much to include, go for the simple solution: use as little as possible.
The bottom line with hair accessories is that too much of a good thing can confuse the eye and make your look look garish. Simple hair accessories, on the other hand, can make a bold beauty statement that makes your hair the talk of the office or party.
