It might have been around for a while, but we think this trend deserves more time in the spotlight. It is so easy to wear - a summery boho chic look that is perfect with sandals and your favourite maxi dress, or punk up some black jeans and a biker jacket. If you haven’t already tried it out you're not too late!

For this look all you need is a band that you can wear straight across your forehead for an instant hippy chic look! Try playing up the look with different coloured bands and designs. You could also get a little creative and try folding a fine scarf and knotting it, tying a beautiful ribbon across your head, or even plaiting some very soft leather strands for a truly Woodstock vibe. For something a bit more glam, try sewing on a few flowers or bows for a look that’s all your own.

The best thing about the hippy headband trend is that they look even better on messy just rolled out of bed hair so there is no time spent fussing in front of the mirror, just throw it on and you're good to go!

 

Check out our favourite hippy headband trendsetters below:

Nicole Richie
The queen of boho chic Richie was one of the first celebs to set the mark for this trend.

Mischa Barton
Never one to say 'no' to a new trend, these days Mischa is hardly ever seen without her now trademark hippy headbands. We think they carry off her seventies vibe beautifully.

Diane Von Furstenberg runway
I love how DVF has added such a girly feel to their hippy headbands with the help of a few flowers, ribbion and pretty pastels. Loving the multi-coloured plaited ribbon - you could totes make that at home.

Ashley Olsen
I adore Ashley Olsen's more sophisticated yet grungey take on the look. If you're more rock inclined, this would look fab with an old band headscarf and also keeps 'it really needs washing but I'm too busy holidaying' hair under control.

Peaches Geldof
With a slightly vintage feel about it, this head scarf proves that this look is not just for beach-babes, flower-power girls and rock star groupies... in chiffon or silk and with an elegant flower it takes on a much more sophisticated look.
