Everyone loves something a little “extra” around the holidays. Something about the twinkly lights and the aroma of egg nog in the air brings with it the desire to try on a new outfit or accessorize your go-to winter staples with a festive touch. And, what better way to mark the season than to add an accessory to your hairstyle? Whether you’re dressing for a work party, family fun or getting excited for your New Year’s Eve plans, try on a few of our favorite accessory styles of the season.
For: Short Hair or Buns
Add: A Barrette or Bobby Pins
While earrings are a go-to choice to spice up short styles or hair pulled back into an upstyle, a sparkly barrette is another way to go. With so many different varieties on the market you can pick from pearls, sparkling rhinestones or colorful tortoiseshell alternatives for a quick and easy way to dress up any style. While they can easily be applied to your style of choice, we suggest pairing your holiday barrette with a deep side part to set your style apart.
For: Medium Lengths or Undone Waves
Add: A Chunky Headband
Headbands used to feel a little Gossip Girl, but channelling your inner Blair Waldorf is exactly what the holidays are for. We’ve seen various iterations on the runways in past seasons (we see you Prada and Dior) and this season they’re making the rounds again as the easiest way to add a touch of glamour to your style.
For: Long Hair or Ponytails
Add: A Velvet Scrunchie
Not sure what to do with your long locks? Scrunchies are always a great idea. Keep it on your wrist to accentuate your outfit for when the time is right to pull it back into a pony or start off your braid style with a little something extra. Pick from a variety of patterns or reach straight for the velvet option for a quintessentially festive-looking feel.
For: Curly or Wavy Textures or Braids
Add: A Colorful Scarf
Instead of straightening your hair for the holidays, embrace the natural texture and simply add a fun scarf to create a unique style. Printed scarfs are ideal for drawing attention or pick a monochromatic tone to match your sweater or even your eye shadow. Scarves have gained so much traction the last few seasons that there are countless options on the market. If you want to take your style to the next level, think about braiding it into your look for a truly one-of-a-kind finish.
