Most of us tend to associate hair accessories with our childhood, Melbourne Cup Day or the early 2000s. But there is a way to pull off hair accessories as an adult, at any time of the year. We’re not talking about bringing the butterfly clips back, we’re talking about metal hair accessories.

Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, who recently collaborated on a collection of headbands with Chloe + Isabel, says the key to pulling off hair accessories as an adult is metal. Hair pins, headbands and other accessories in gold, rose gold and silver can look glam and sophisticated.

“Metal hair accessories are a great way to dress up any look and take your hair from day to night, or throw in after a cycle class and head to dinner with your girls,” Jen told Popsugar.

What do you think of these metal hair accessories? Do you ever add any accessories to your hair?
These look beautiful! I haven’t worn hair accessories since I was a teenager. I have been considering it a little more lately. I would love to buy the hair tie with the metal clasp. Simple but adds a bit of style.
