The 90s are Back with Hair Accessories
Fashion is cyclical in nature, and what was once old will get revived and become new again. That’s why they say to never get rid of anything because it will eventually come back around as the season’s biggest trend.
Case in point – this season’s hottest hair accessories!
The 90s have been making a revival for a while now in the fashion world. From overalls to “mom jeans” to denim skirts to chokers, there’s been a nod to the generation of Clueless for quite some time now. No longer is dressing up like Cher or Dionne just for Halloween, folks.
And when it comes to hair accessories specifically, you’ll feel quite nostalgic when you don many of them this season because fall hair accessories are totally 90s inspired and we’re very much on board!
Keep on reading for the 9 hair accessories you’ll want to buy for fall.
The 9 Hair Accessories You Need to Buy This Season
1. Bandanas
There’s no need to save your bandanas for the rodeo anymore. Wear yours year round as a headband or to hold your pony tail up. With the western trend being at the forefront of fashion this season, it’s no surprise that bandanas are back, too. And you’ll find them in many more colors than red and blue. They now come in all prints, patterns, colors, and sizes.

2. Barrettes
Remember the barrettes your mom used to put in your hair for school each morning? Yes, those barrettes! They’re back in a big way. And now barrettes are offered in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors. They can add a fun touch to your look and there are many ways you can style them.

3. Bobby Pins
I’ve bought and lost more bobby pins than I can count. It’s like they’ve gone off to never never land with my hair ties that I also can never find. Ha! But really, put your bobby pins in a safe spot because they’re a hot hair trend right now, and for good reason. Wear one or wear multiples together in a variety of colors, and it’s a very cool way to style up your hair.

4. Flowers
Flowers aren’t just for the home. Grab a flower or floral accessory and put it in your hair for a beautiful, feminine look. And not just in the spring or summer, but you’ll find floral hair accessories everywhere all throughout the fall and winter, too. Florals are fresh and fun!

5. Headbands
While very Blair Waldorf, headbands are all the rage right now, and have been for quite some time, and will continue to be! There are so many gorgeous styles out there – thick, thin, florals, geometric, solid, dressy, casual, and everything in between. We love a good headband moment.

6. Ribbons
Now, this is an easy one that you might not even need to purchase because it might be in one of your drawers at home. The feminine simplicity of tying a ribbon in your hair is not to be missed. And you can even find ribbons that are pre tied so you don’t have to worry about making the perfect bow. Though, in all honesty, sometimes the messier the bow, the more chic it looks.

7. Scrunchies
Yes, really! Can you even believe it? I cannot. Scrunchies are BACK. Scrunchies always remind me of the scene in Sex and the City when Carrie makes fun of Burger for having a woman wear a scrunchie in his book and then they bump into a woman wearing a scrunchie in a NYC bar. It cracks me up, and now some of the hottest style setters are rocking scrunchies. I can’t decide if I’m 100% on board with it, but I do wonder if my mom saved all my scrunchies that I wore on a daily basis in 1993.

8. Silk Scarves
Silk scarves scream elegance, and it truly is such a beautiful look when you tie a loose pony tail around with a stunning silk scarf. Of course, there are tons of options out there, and we love the variety you can find – from ornate to modern. This is a trend that almost doesn’t feel like a trend because it feels so timeless.

9. Turbans
Turbans are downright cool. Plain and simple, they immediately add an edge to an otherwise more basic (or not so basic) look. They also cover up a bad hair day in no time flat, so they’re equal parts functional and stylish!
