Head's up!

Hair accessories have been a big part of my style repertoire for as long as I can remember, and it was always the final touch added in the morning to my school uniform.

In my opinion, this winter saw some of the best hair accessories this side of the nineties, from the crowns at Dolce and Gabbana to Rodarte's barbed wire headband. So what does this year have to offer?

Aside from the predictable flower garlands of the festival season and wide-brimmed floppy hats of hazy summer days, this spring we will be seeing more than the buds of May and warm rays of the sun. The oriental infusion of catwalk trends lets you play with the new up-do, thanks to Emilio Pucci.

 



Meanwhile, Dolce's summer fling will be with headscarves and colour clashing earrings to top off a folk-inspired look. Do this at home with your own selection of lightweight scarves. If all else fails, it is a great way to avoid a tan line from your fringe!

Finally, if you don't want to add yet another felt hat to your collection or you have the urge to take up a new hobby, it seems that turning to nature and becoming a beekeeper is very à la mode. The best bit? Don't fret about changing your headwear!
