Hair bows and headbands come in different styles and sizes for different occasions and tastes. It’s essential to understand their functionality as well as when to utilize them and vice versa. A fundamental rule is that bows and bands should never overshadow the outfit. Rather, they complement and enhance the entire look. A quick tip is to coordinate the hair bow or headband to an accent color in the ensemble, to pull the look together. Let’s consider some other tips as well as how best to incorporate stylish hair bows and/or headbands into outfits for the best possible looks.

 

CROWN ME IN HEADBANDS

When you want to get headbands, start with primary colors. Go for ones that are in black or white because they are modern in that they tend to go with a wider range of outfits in a non matchy matchy way. Get our “Off White Floral Alice Band” and our “Black Feather Bow Alice Band” as they are high quality, classic looking pieces. Try headbands that have a hint of other colors like our “Off White Headband with Floral” detail as it comes in white with a pop of yellow colored flowers.

Speaking of flowers, don’t shy away from headbands that have them. They are a cute addition to the accessory without being too busy. Sun dresses would work perfectly with headbands that have flower accents like our peach colored “Floral Alice Band” and our yellow “Headband with Flower” as well as our white “Flower Head Band” that has an exceptional stretch band as well as multi-colored floral detailing.

Also go for headbands that have indigenous materials like our prime “Ankara Alice Band”, made from the best quality Ankara fabric. It features a double bow detail, central wrap, and a headband. It can easily compliment outfits that have bold colors. Don’t be afraid to pair them with clothes that have non indigenous fabrics. If the colors complement each other, it totally works.

 

HAIR BOWS: THE WOW EFFECT

Bows are cute accessories that not only keep the hair in place, but also compliment the hairstyle as well as the outfit. Still in line with the stylish Ankara bands listed above, get bows that are made with indigenous fabrics like our different multicolored “Ankara Hair” bows (available in red and pink Ankara prints) that feature small ribbon bow details with stunning center pearl designs that are unique and eye catching.

This is because it is made with the best quality satin ribbon which is styled into an amazing bow with embellishment.

Now if you’re looking for choice hair bows for more formal outfits, uniforms (for schools that allow or require that) and active wear, go for bows that have superior plain fabrics with a hint of shimmer to them so they are not too flashy, yet retain unique elements to them. Get our gold “Hair Bow with Organza Center Knot” that is made with an almost see trough ribbon, styled into an amazing bow and an organza center knot. It has stunning gold stripes and can go with active wear.

Our “Navy and Yellow Bow with Elastic Band”, that features unique yellow and navy striped ribbons on top of a bigger arrangement of navy blue ribbons, would work well with uniforms and school wear.
