The reign of hair accessories continues this autumn, with a nod to the queen of Upper East Side style herself: Blair Waldorf. Statement headbands are back, and they're bolder than ever. Think velvet, pearls, and jeweled embellishments that bring a touch of sophistication and fun to any outfit. Pair with soft curls or sleek, straight hair for a polished look.

And let’s not forget about the coquette bows. These sweet, romantic additions are making a strong comeback, perfect for adding a playful touch to ponytails, buns, or even pinned back waves.

Meet the hairstyle that's as stylish as it is easy: the low bun. This “model off-duty” look has become a go-to for anyone seeking an effortlessly put-together appearance. It’s the kind of style you can throw on in minutes and still look like you spent an hour perfecting it.

The low bun is perfect for pairing with autumn’s chunky scarves and oversized jackets, allowing your outerwear to shine while still keeping your hair neat and chic. A quick twist, a few strategically placed pins, and you’re good to go. It’s an understated look that’s perfect for busy mornings or spontaneous brunches with friends.

Autumn brings with it a new kind of elegance, and the sleek bun embodies that perfectly. It’s all about embracing the balletcore aesthetic that has been dominating the fashion world — clean lines and polished finishes. Whether you’re headed to work or a night at the theater, the sleek bun will have you looking like you just stepped out of a runway show.

To get the look, gather your hair into a tight, smooth bun at the nape of your neck or slightly higher for a ballerina-inspired twist. Use a fine-tooth comb and some strong-hold gel to tame any flyaways and achieve that glossy, high-fashion finish. It’s a hairstyle that not only highlights your facial features but also works beautifully with turtlenecks, blazers, and all your autumn layering essentials.
