Combs, crabs and huge gum: 10 accessories from the 2000s

DESIGNERS CONTINUE TRAVELING TO ZERO: Rhinestones, plush costumes, jeans at a very low waist and, of course, all sorts of hair accessories flash from the catwalks, from massive “crabs” to small hair clips. We are waiting for the triumphant return of mesh sleeves and wristbands, but for now we are showing hairpins and elastic bands that you can buy right now.

Barrette Hairpin

Narrow hairpin, like your first school teacher, in 2018, the designers almost did not change, except that they lowered the brightness and added modest logos. To make the image not too “official”, wear this accessory with sporting things: a voluminous bomber jacket, creepers and sports trousers.

$65

Eraser Topshop

We have already talked about the return of voluminous suede and velvet elastic bands. This spring, they will be an excellent addition to a straight trench coat or wool coat, voluminous corduroy pantsuit or a "Mad Men" midi dress. For an evening out, look for elastic bands with sequins, crystals, and shiny fabric — both Balenciaga and H & M have these.

Gucci Comb

The retro accessory is experiencing a rebirth: designers advise wearing a tortoiseshell comb with a checkered suit or seriously playing “the change of epochs”: a midi dress in sequins and a high hairstyle decorated with such a hairpin is a combination worthy of the main party this spring.

$258

Gucci Hoop

Your mom surely loved such hoops, and now the soft headdress “wicker” flashes at Gucci shows. Adhere to the rules of the brand and complement it with a colorful dress with a floral print and varnish accessories, or move towards R'n'B and wear with bright bicycles and a bulky bomber jacket - both combinations will be win-win this spring.

€474

H & M Butterfly Pins

Another undeservedly forgotten accessory that will help reduce the degree of seriousness, even if you are wearing a strict trouser suit or a closed midi dress. It is not necessary to pin up the hair with five "butterflies" at once, as we liked to do this in childhood - a pair of asymmetrically arranged hairpins will be enough.

Monki Color Invisibles

Another favorite technique comes from zero - notable "invisible." Designers this spring offer to create patterns on their hair with their help, fixing several barrettes in a row on the hair at once. And still such invisible beings are the real salvation for those who undertook to grow bangs.

"Crab" Alexandre de Paris

The latest show, Alexander Wang, finally brought massive crabs back to the stores and into our hearts. We recommend literally copying the images created by the designer: a smooth haircut, topped with a toothy hairpin, a voluminous bomber jacket or a dark coat, short leather skirts, massive shoes, a minimum of makeup.

Mesh diva

We are ready to argue that the time for colored hair nets will come very soon. In the meantime, it is an accessory for fans of retro style: a dark or beige mesh with a smooth hair-style will perfectly complement a narrow midi skirt, a fluffy blouse with puff sleeves and a corduroy jacket with voluminous shoulders.

ASOS Crab Scattering

The favorite trick of the Olsen twins (when it was less than thirteen), Phoebe from Friends and young Lindsay Lohan. In order not to overdo it with references to iconic TV shows and childhood films, we advise you to wear colorful “crab” with monochrome outfits, such as a beige trapeze dress, black oversized suit or denim shirt and a pair of denim trousers.

Colored rubber bands with pendants Marc Jacobs

Just like in childhood: the more large pendants and balls, the better - that’s what Marc Jacobs thinks so. In addition, it is a low-key but cute accessory that will lighten the mood of others, with the help of such rubber bands, you can create the maximum number of hairstyles for both short and long hair. Yes, and on the hand does not look as beaten as the usual springs Invisibobbles.
