Larger-than-life bows, teeny-tiny ribbons, blooming rosettes—the way to complete to a party look this year isn't with a set of pearl earrings or a lab-grown diamond rivière (though we won't say no to either). It’s with a charming hair accessory. An homage to the spring 2024 runways and the ribbon-aissance that it spurred, these whimsical accents bring coquettish charm to any dress code.
For pocket-sized decadence, consider a floral scrunchie that might have been snipped from the wild to grace your low ponytail. For an ethereal look, try dotting your hair with tiny bows; these can be either clipped to a chignon for a recital-ready take, or adorn loose waves with a long sash for easy-going romance. (A subtle reminder to the dinner table that your presence is the present!) You could even zhuzh up your usual hair tie or claw clip with a more festive version—velvet, silk, and metallic capture the mood perfectly.
These dreamy creations also work well to make a repeat holiday outfit feel fresh, especially if it's a look you've already worn a few times these past few weeks. Of course, sweet hair accessories also make for excellent stocking stuffers; who wouldn't be absolutely delighted to unbox a cherry red Miu Miu hair clip? (Might we suggest saving the wrapping ribbon as well to use at a later date?)
