The ’90s and early aughts decades were all about accessories. From butterfly clips, chokers, and slap bracelets to scrunchies, an outfit is nothing without a bit of oomph. Hair accessories like the humble headbands were a must-have at that time. They became the off-duty model look must-have with Evangelista often seen wearing them while out and about throughout the ’90s. Kate Moss wore one during the Calvin Klein 1995 fashion show.
Today, headbands have made a big comeback. You will be able to see how popular these are when you do a quick scroll on TikTok, Pinterest, and Instagram. Headbands have been seen dominating the runways of Fashion Week like Fall/Winter 2024 to the streets.
Headbands are appealing because they are easy to put on when you’re in a rush, and they can keep hair away from the face especially when you are trying to grow your bangs. Have a bad hair day? Headband. Just out from the gym? Headband. Dark roots showing? Headband. Greasy hair? Just put one on and no one will know that you’re due for a hair wash. See how versatile they are?
In this comeback era, you can spot the casual and sporty style that everyone from models to celebrities is wearing. Style icon, Bella Hadid has been sported wearing the wide athletic style headband. Whether you love the ’90s and early aughts eras or you want to keep your hair back, you’ll be glad to know that the headband trend is taking over social media feeds now. The important thing to take note of when making the ’90s headband look work is to just not overthink it. All you have to do is just pop it on your head and go. No matter what your style is, there’s a headband trend for you.

Let’s check out some of the best ways fashion people out there are styling the popular headband trends and how you can rock this throwback look.
The Wide Headband
Fashion girls are bringing back this cloth headband. It works well with everything from casual to elevated everyday styles. The wide headband looks even better when teamed with gold hoop earrings. It’s a simple way to keep it chic on lazy hair days, whether you pull your hair back or leave it down, the wide headband can give the illusion of a polished look. If black isn’t your headband color choice, try a white one that’s equally chic.
The Padded Headband
One classic headband style that doesn’t really go out of style is the padded version. It’s the headband that many like to wear for the festive season. There are different shades available and also material such as satin and velour. You can choose plain padded ones or those with embellishments like pearls or sequins.

The Skinny Headband
If you want to keep things simple and minimal, then go for the no-headband headband look. A skinny headband that’s similar to the shade of your hair can do just that. If you want the headband to pop with your outfit, then choose a bold color.
