Designer headband styles you’ll love
There are so many styles on the market right now, but these are the ones we’re sure will take your look to the next level — and look good even after a few years.
Padded

While the style peaked in popularity in the ‘90s, it has evolved as a wardrobe staple for many. And for good reason — it’s both classic and stand-out. Wear it with a smart casual outfit to make it more poised or team it with your formal outfit to seal the deal. Its shape also gives a tiara-like feel that not only gives you extra height but also makes you look like style royalty.
Flat

Your outfit will look anything but flat when you cap it off with a flat headband, especially with one that has an interesting texture. Flat designer headbands tend to be minimalist (well, they are) but just like you, we like things bold. Rock the ‘60s look but opt for luscious materials like velvet and corduroy.
Ruched

Strike the perfect balance between sophisticated and practical with a ruched designer headband. It instantly makes any ensemble look regal, thanks to its silhouette. A crown minus the crystals? Yes, please.

Woven

If you’re looking for something that has a more earthy vibe, try designer headbands with a woven texture. They’re statement-making and perfect for jazzing up any outfit.
Knotted

Want the turban look but don’t like wrapping your hair in one? Try a knotted headband. It gives off the same look (and height) while putting your hair in place. The bonus? You can still wear your hair down!
