Headbands are back in fashion, and you heard it here first.
What was once the preppy hair accessory of middle school, or the iconic uniform of Blair Waldorf on “Gossip Girl” is now the hot new must-have for fall and beyond.
The humble headband is all over TikTok, too, with fashion influencers jumping on board, showing off vintage finds, designer headbands and more.
The video below by TikTok trend forecaster @bbridget shows off the more athletic look, modeled by top celebrities like Bella Hadid and Lily Rose Depp to name a few. It now has more than 118,000 views and counting and over 10,000 likes by other fashionistas.
For the more elevated look, in both price and actual height, the Prada headband has also been having a moment, with even more viral videos and unboxings taking over social media. TikTok headband expert @headband_gal took to the app to show off her Prada collection, using the trending sound to demonstrate her headband mantra.
Want to get your hands and hair wrapped up in this trend for fall 2022 and beyond? Read on for our top picks, including athletic finds for the gym and more stylish options that even Blair Waldorf herself would approve of on the steps of the MET. Xoxo, the Post Shopping team.

Having a lazy hair day? Dress it up with very little effort with this silk knotted headband from Lazyjack Press. The band is sold at Wolf and Badger, and it also comes in other patterns should you not be feeling nautical.
Did you say Dior? We sure did, and this headband says it too. The designer headband has the iconic D logo all over the outside, while the inside of the band has a secret pattern with the designer’s name.
