9 Of The Best Statement Hair Clips For 2019

Fresh off the Chanel runway, this trend shows no sign of slowing down

If you’re looking to upgrade your barnet but can’t afford the extortionate hair cut, perhaps it’s time to invest in a statement hair clip (or two) instead?

Showing no signs of disappearing from the high street, the humble barrette has continued to jazz up lacklustre hair and tame unruly fringes for the past few months. Style queen Alexa Chung is a fan, as is Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Rihanna. Pearls, bows and floral clips were also a talking point during fashion week, worn on the catwalk at the last Chanel show designed by the late Karl Lagerfeld.

If you’re coming around to the idea of this late nineties/early noughties trend, here’s how you can join the perfect hair party without breaking the bank.
