This season the fashion set are all on board with a newly trending accessory that’s being used to add a sleek, polished and expensive-looking twist to an outfit this spring.

Having spotted jersey headbands crop up on my FYP, I was beginning to get the urge to join in on the trend. Now, having seen them over and over again on Fashion Week attendees in New York and London, I’m absolutely certain that this is the accessory I’ve been missing in my life.

Sweeping the hair off the face, this trend works overtime to add dimension to an outfit. With a decidedly “rich” energy, the elasticated headband has been in fashion people’s rotations for decades. Once seen framing the face of Bridget Bardot, in 2024 the stretchy accessory manages to translate the same effortless energy today as it did when styled in the ’60s.

This practical trend serves many purposes. Ideal of adding a polished element, stretching a hair-wash that little bit further, and taming flyaways, the Fashion Week saviour sells itself.

With prices starting for at only £5, this is the kind of purchase I can get behind. From H&M to Filippa K, shop the jersey headband trend below.
