Fans of Blair Waldorf and Cher Horowitz’s cool, preppy style will take a liking to this season’s decorative headbands. The low-maintenance accessory has been given a chic update with designer logos and lavish embellishments such as faux pearls and crystals.

Headbands aren’t just for keeping your locks tidy – they’ll disguise any bad hair days (heaven forbid) while adding an instant dose of fun to your wardrobe. Check out some of our personal favourites, below.
