Bring in a vintage flair in your hair accessory trove with these barrettes
If you have always felt that you are a timeless soul who derives its exclusivity from an earlier time and the old-gone trends and styles enliven the experimental artist in you, then there’s nothing like a barrette to do the job. These hair accessories are tiny yet profoundly beautiful as compared to the full-blown hair bands and tiaras. Plus, they are perfect for the times when you want to spruce up your hairdo without making too much of an effort. Just pop a few of these timeless beauties on your mane and transform into a lady from the bygone era. Here’s your list!
A tiara of pearls on your hair – that sounds like a fairytale, right? Not exactly a tiara but Lune is sure making your pearl dreams come true with these pearl with matte gold finish hair clips. Given that the princess-y design is quite timeless, you can easily pass them down to your loved ones. They are available in nine adorable variants, but our favourite is the Pearl Cluster Clip. The exaggerated size of the clips will give a dramatic look, especially if you are a short hair beauty. You can also pair them with earrings from Lune’s similar collection which is full of minimal gold and pearl pieces.
Olio has come out with a new line of jewelry and they seem to have aced the leading trend of 90’s hair barrettes with this gold-plated coin clip inspired by three different eras, says the embossed detail of the coins. If you are into messy braids then this might be your perfect match. Imagined it? We did too.

Ranjana Khan Set of Two Canvas Silver Tone and Crystal Hair Clips | Buy Now
Sleek hair with centre parting is all the rage in the hairstyling world and these Ranjana Khan crystal clips are an exciting way to hold the loose locks in place. Its crystal is hand-embellished on a canvas base with silver thread inner loops. The set comes in a bronze shade too!
Fall might have you dressing up in neutral and earthy tones but Valet’s Ariana clip can save the day by adding a pop of colour. Made in hypoallergenic steel, the clip features a hand-poured resin in imitation of natural turquoise. Marbling is super 90s in our opinion and hence, we think it’s a great barrette set for soft hair waves.
