We’ve got you covered with a few tips and ideas, no matter your hair type.
In case you’ve been too preoccupied with the best looks of Fall 2019 Fashion Week and Kylie Jenner news to notice the little (read: not so little) details, ‘90s hair clips are a thing right now. Bobby pins, large statement-making clips and embellished hair barrettes are taking over the streets and presumably your Instagram feed.
They have already been spotted on the runways for a few seasons (see Chanel and Versace), but if there’s a time you really want to cop the trend, today is the day. Not sure how to wear them? We’ve got you covered with a few tips and ideas, no matter your hair type.
#1 Feeling basic
The lazy girl’s way to sporting the trend? Go basic with just a single clip pulling your hair back to show off your best side. It’s cute in a girl-next-door kind of way, yet effortlessly cool at the same time.

#2 Need for symmetry
For those with middle parting, take a leaf out of Versace’s book and try clipping your hair on both sides just above the ear. Bobby pins are great if you’re going for a sleek, minimal look, whilst chunkier, embellished clips play up the glam factor.
#3 Lucky number three
Take that basic look in #1 to the next level by stacking your favourite clips on your best side. Three’s a charm, but feel free to stack them up however your fashion instinct fancies.
#4 Pulled-back ponytails
On days when you’d prefer to keep your hair in a ponytail, you can also add a hairclip (or three) over the top of your hair tie for bonus style points. Pro tip: bows work especially well for this look!
#5 Make a statement
Whether it’s a crossover with the logomania trend or millennial-inspired phrases, these statement clips are the way to let your hair do the talking.
