After piling on your layers of thermals, coats and boots the last thing you feel like doing on a cold winter’s day is fussing with your hair. Luckily there are loads of cute hair accessories out there that make styling a simple process. Look elegant and put together with a clip or hairband or cover frizzy locks with a stunning hat. Dressing up this winter has never been easier with these hot hair accessories.

Hairbands

Hairbands are definitely back in a big way. Worn with loose curls or the sophisticated high pony seen on the runways, the hairband is the perfect accessory to any hairdo. If you are worried about looking childish opt for a thinner band and intertwine it amongst your hair for a fairytale look. If you are looking to stand out go for a band with a big bow or do it like the celebs and tie a black ribbon in a neat bow beneath a messy bun.

Oversized accessories

Oversized accessories are not for the fainthearted but are definitely for the fashion forward. Headpieces, masks and giant clips have been seen on the heads of runway models and celebs worldwide. Headpieces are also taking inspiration from Asia with chopsticks and flowers making prominent appearances. To avoid looking overdone, pair extravagant headpieces with simple, neutral clothing.

Hats

Hats are great for winter as not only do they hide frizzy and dry hair but they help to keep you warm. Military hats are in for winter and range from serious helmets to beanies in browns, greens and khaki. Leather and fake fur are the fabrics of choice with hats having a distinctly masculine look this season. Wide-brimmed black hats are perfect paired with boho dresses and the key is in contrast this winter.
