These Are the Most Stylish (and Wearable) Hair Accessories For Fall

Headbands are perhaps the easiest accessory to incorporate into any hairstyle; they're a versatile and affordable way to spice up any look (with so many different styles available). Instead of trying a simple band this season, take notes from the catwalk and try something a little more extravagant and statement-making than your simple black band. The hair at Balmain had an edgy feel thanks to a chain-link headband slipped over a simple low ponytail. We also love the Rosantica by Michela Panero Liberta Crystal-Embellished Chain Headband ($325) for the ultimate statement-making headband.

Here's another striking way to dress up your ponytail, minus all the hassle and sore arms: re-create this look from Byblos by simply doing a ponytail as normal, then either wrapping an accessory or hair tie around it to add something extra. We love the ASOS Hair Ties With Pearl Embellishment ($10) if you're looking for something easy.

Other easy accessories to incorporate into almost any hairstyle are barrettes and clips, even if you have short hair. The hair at Ashish was incredible and most definitely exaggerated. Minus the massive amount of backcombing (unless that's your thing, then go forth and backcomb), there were plenty of sparkling clips dotted throughout the top of the hair, giving it some added sparkle.

Hair chains are one of the most striking accessories from the season but perhaps the hardest to re-create, particularly if you're trying to reach the back of your head without help. If you're looking to jazz up an already-signature hairstyle, hair chains are a great way to add something extra. Area incorporated these crystal jewels into Bantu knots, while you can also twist them through a single chignon.

If you're not feeling daring enough to wear heavy metal (literally), take inspiration from Drome's Autumn 2019 show and try something shiny and colorful in either patent or faux leather. We also like the ASOS Headband in Faux Leather With Plait Detail ($12).

If you're digging out your trusty leather jacket heading into the cooler weather, take a note from Alexander McQueen and grab some extra leather (or faux feather) to wrap around your hair as well. This edgy look is certainly a style that will not only complement the outfit but also make the outfit. It would probably take a hot minute to wrap material around a ponytail this long, so try wrapping it only a few times or using a leather hairband like the Kitsch Ponytail Ties ($14).

At Versace, barrettes almost felt like an extension of the jewelry, with the models wearing multicolored, embellished jeweled slides. We love the Pretty Little Thing Multicolor Jewel Hair Slide ($3, originally $8) and the Boohoo Embellished Diamante Hair Slide ($5, originally $12).

Stella Jean also incorporated pretty pearls into the headbands, with tiny extra jewels to give it a slightly softer feel. With this as our inspiration, the ASOS DesignB London Double Pearl Headband ($10) is at the top of our shopping list.

Go all out with hair chains like hairstylist Justine Marjan (otherwise known as the queen of accessories) did at Christian Siriano's Autumn 2019 show. Marjan added long chains at the crown of the head, gathering them with the rest of the hair into a low ponytail. If re-creating this style feels like too much of a challenge at home, try wrapping one chain around the ponytail or braiding it through.

Ermanno Scervino tapped into our childhood nostalgia with this daisy, jewel-patterned headband. You can style it similarly with a slicked-back bun, or try a slightly thinner headband and wear it with your hair down for a more casual vibe.

"Sparkly hair slides, ribbons, brooches, and camellias adorned simple, clean, healthy hair," hairstylist Sam McKnight said of the look at Chanel's Autumn 2019 show, which you can see here in the photo. The bow pictured is the perfect accessory for more formal occasions, but if you're looking for something simpler, try the DesignB London Faux Pearl Bow Hair Clip ($10), which includes pearls — a Chanel signature.

Velvet bows, as seen at Oscar de la Renta, are an accessory you may have already tried, and if not, you'll almost definitely have seen them all over Instagram. We love the ASOS Barrette Hair Clip-In Bow ($15), but if you're feeling crafty, save bows and ribbons from the festive season to repurpose as hair accessories.

Simone Rocha was all about the tiara-inspired headbands. The show displayed a variety of hybrid headpiece/headbands, which gave off a gothic feel with the black jewel embellishments. This is a great option if you want to make a statement with your hair without too much styling. Bonus points if you match it to your lipstick.

In addition to headbands, Simone Rocha also showed us a fun way to style our hair with twinkly barrettes. Whether you're wearing your hair down (like here) or in a low bun, you can scatter them randomly across your hairline. That way, they're both functional (keeping your hair out of your face, that is) and decorative.

Shrimps displayed an overload of pearl headbands that helped spark a huge trend. A pearl headband adds an ultrafeminine feel to any style. Luckily for us, they are everywhere, at every price point, and in every variation.
