Barrettes Are Back! How To Wear Them All Now
Forget braids. Forget buns. Barrettes, clips, pins and everything in between are making a big return and we're not talking about the glittery butterfly kind from yesteryear. The last time these hair accessories ruled was among the teenage set, yet these new clasps are polished and decidedly un-costume-y.
When it comes to hair, we're all about quick, easy upgrades. And a beautiful barrette is all that’s needed to give an unexpected twist to your usual do.
Show some love to this teenage favorite and take major throwback cues from our hair inspo ahead.
Remember those cute clips that would hold up our bangs growing up? Well, they're back and best for giving your low-bun a little bauble action.
While we don't suggest going this crazy with hair clips, the models at Alexander Mcqueen's recent show did offer up a pretty solution for an upgraded up-do.
Tame your side swept hair with a petite bobby pin.
Or just use one to casually keep your hair out of your eyes (like this cool chick).
Marc Jacobs reunited sweaty and sophisticated with the punkish hair at his Spring show. Give a grungy-inspired hair moment a glam accent with barrettes placed at random.
Or place one randomly in perfectly disheveled hair.
Hair clips don't have to look school girlish, just keep your hair straight and sleek (and to the side).
A style staple from our childhoods, barrettes don't have to be banned from grown-up hair.
