The easiest way to make any outfit look more expensive is with the right accessories. One of the biggest fashion trends to make a comeback is the headband, which also happens to be one of the easiest ways to make your next winter outfit look more luxe. The best part? You don’t have to break the bank to get the look! I’ve been reaching for headbands since I was a little girl (I wore on every day!) and although my friends poked fun at me about them all through school, I knew that one day they would all be reaching for one too. (Yes, I was even called Blair Waldorf regularly because of them but whatever, I was always Team B anyways)

Now you’ll find the headband on your favourite street style stars at fashion week (who’s been keeping their eyes on Paris Couture Week?) and across the runway at the likes of Prada, Miu Miu and Dior. Whether you’re looking for a basic one to get you started, a beautiful pearl one for something special or a lush velvet one like this, there’s something for everyone and they are usually under £50 (Of course you can get ones that are over if your budget allows! The Prada one’s are amazing). Now that’s an accessory to stock up on! The one I’m wearing is from Fenwick’s on Bond Street; they have a fab selection if you are ever in the area!

The best part about headbands is that they are the simplest way to complete an outfit. I wore this look to London Fashion Week a few seasons ago but it looks totally different, and so much better, just by adding the headband! If you’re wondering how to wear a headband, I recommend pushing your hair back with it and then pushing it slightly forward to get that slight puff in your hair. I’ve linked to a whole selection of them below, ready for you to shop!

One of the biggest trends for autumn winter 2018 have been belt bags, or better known as the bum bag. This 90’s revival got a high fashion update with everyone from your favourite bloggers to your most stylish friends sporting one. I remember sharing one of my first belt bags about 2 years ago now in this post so when I saw that everyone wanted to know how to wear a belt bag, I was so excited to get my new Prada one out! The best part about these bags is that there are so many different ways to wear them. You can wear your belt bag with jeans, over dresses and even over your jacket. Here are my favourite ways:

1. Wear your belt bag as a crossbody.
I like to sling my belt bag over my shoulder to wear it like a cross body for a more model-off-duty look. I love how easy it is to wear it this way and this is the easiest way to style it with any outfit. Try this way with your next sweater and jeans combo for an instant update to a go-to look.

2. As a waist belt
You can wear your belt bag with your jeans as a belt or over looser dresses as a waist belt. It’s a great way to add some definition to your outfit so that you look taller too! I used it here to make this loose dress more fit.

3. Over your favourite jacket
You can wear your belt bag as a winter accessory that you don’t have to hide away! Wear it over your favourite blazer for these chilly autumn days and as you move to your winter coats, belt it over your straight fit coats (like this one) for a really cool winter outfit!

How would you wear your belt bag?
