Some styles never go out of fashion, and the 1920s look is one of them. Elegant headbands, clips and combs can help you create a sophisticated look for parties, events and evenings out.
Old school glamour
This is a style that conjures up old Hollywood glamour and will forever be associated with The Great Gatsby: the jazz age, with Daisy Buchanan as the ultimate flapper. The 1920s saw the trend for short hair take off, with many women cutting their hair to make a social as well as a fashion statement.
In series five of Downton Abbey, Lady Mary swapped her long waves for a sleek, modern bob. But this is a look that can work on any hair length. A flapper-style bob can be created by tucking longer hair under and pinning it. You can also twist long hair into a bun or chignon and accessorise, or let it fall loose over your shoulder with a decorative comb to hold it in place.
1920s hair accessories: how to get the look
You can make this style as simple or as detailed as you like. For a quick route to 1920s glamour, add a sparkling clip such as our Crystal Curved Beak Clip, which is lovely for securing a half-up style or a bun. Or wear a headband over your existing style: our Crystal Studded Velvet Headband adds a touch of jazz-age sparkle to any hairstyle.
For a sophisticated up-do with minimal fuss, the Crystal Pearl Hair Comb, with its mixture of crystals and pearls, will sweep your hair elegantly into a classic chignon. You can also twist your hair into a side bun and add a Narrow Crystal Barrette Clip just behind your ear for a finishing touch of glamour.
Feathers and jewels
The 1920s style is a lovely way to add a touch of flamboyance to your outfit, with hair accessories embellished with feathers, jewels and beads. A crystal clip fastened into a bun or at the side of the head adds instant sparkle. For an evening look, our Handmade Crystal Padded Headband, set with crystals on a soft black satin band, is an easy way to add interest to a simple outfit such as a black dress.
If you're embracing the look completely with a vintage-style outfit, 1920s-inspired hair accessories are the perfect finishing touch.
Inspiration whatever your hairstyle
