Minimalism is back . Помните чёрные эластичные ободки ,которые мы носили в середине 90-х?Вот Миучча Прада тоже все помнит,как сначала это было модно в 60-е,а потом вернулось в последней декаде 20-ого века. Когда одеваете такой аксессуар важно помнить, что он требует минимума украшений,простые серьги или кулон.и все! И, кстати, чёрные объемные нейлоновые ободки будут у Прада следующим летом. Такой аксессуар сделает весь образ очень модным. Фото ищите в моих сториз. А что вам нравится из моды 90-х? И какие аксессуары , на ваш взгляд, in , а какие out? #90sstyle #headband #fashionaccesories #miumiu

… and they suit anyone regardless of their hair length and texture. They can either be used to hold hair off the face or worn across the forehead for a more bohemian look. Do you find headbands too tight? You could use a satin scarf to create this look instead – no elastic necessary! And while they might bring back memories of school days, headbands are being worn by celebs and on catwalks the world over right now. If worn correctly, they can be totally chic.
