Pearl Headband Perfection: 5 Simple Ways to Wear this Timeless Accessory

Is a Pearl Headband only for Brides?

This is a question I hear time and again at my Pop Up Shops, when I am helping customers choose the perfect headband to suit their style. 

However, my answer to my customers at my Pop Up Shops, and to you here is - you can absolutely wear a pearl headband whether you are a bride, a wedding guest, or just popping to the shops!

I have a number of pearl headbands in my personal collection, and I love their versatility. In the same way that you would wear pearl earrings to elevate an everyday outfit, you can wear a pearl headband to add a chic touch to your look. 

A Pearl Headband will elevate your look in an instant...

The beauty of pearl headbands is that they are a neutral colour, and so will match any of your outfits. 

They also look beautiful whether you are fair like me, or have darker hair and skin tone. If you're fair, then they lend a gorgeous shimmer to your natural colouring. You can see in this photo here, my gold pearl headband with large pearls is an uplifting neutral in my fair hair. 

If you're darker-haired, then the pearl headband provides a striking contrast. Whichever way, pearls are a timeless finishing touch that will always elevate your outfit.

Are Pearl Headbands just for Dressing Up?

The beauty of Pearl Headbands is that they are very versatile and can be dressed up or down. 

Whether you are going all-out for a fancy event or just meeting your girls for lunch, then a Pearl Headband will be the perfect finishing touch to your look.

They can be mixed with black or bright colours too, for a stylish finish.

QueenMee Assistant, and Fashion Design Graduate Maddie loves her pearls styled in a relaxed way. Maddie likes to mix classic pieces like a floaty floral dress, with a vintage leather jacket, and a black headband with pearls and jewels brings the whole look together perfectly, as you can see in this snapshot here. 

Are Pearl Headbands Easy to Style and Wear?

The beauty of pearl headbands is that because they are neutral and classic, they are very easy to both style and wear. Your hairstyle can be as formal or as undone as you like when you are wearing your favourite pearl headband. 

At QueenMee, we love experimenting with our hairstyles and trying new things. We especially love it when we find a hairstyle that is both effortless and chic!

So I am delighted to share 5 Simple Ways to Wear this Timeless Accessory.

1) Pearl Headband with sleek hair 

This is perhaps the top-of-mind way to style your Pearl Headband, and it always looks fabulous! 

All you have to do to create this striking look is smooth your hair down (perhaps use some serum to keep any fly-aways in place), and tuck it behind your ears (you can even pin the hair in place to be extra secure). 

For an extra sleek look, you can use straighteners to give your hair a smooth finish.  

Once your hair is smooth, all you have to do is pop your Pearl Headband on for a head-turning look. Why not add a Pearl Padded Headband (as we have above in our photo) to make an extra statement with height, to offset your sleek hair?

This powerful hairstyle really lets your headband do the talking.

For even more pearly shine, add some pearl earrings! Our Vintage pearl earrings would be fabulous to complete your look.

2) Pearl Headband with a Ponytail 

A Ponytail is a classic hairstyle that whispers laid-back chic. It's a great go-to when you are in a rush to get out the door. 

But why not add a Pearl Headband with your ponytail to add some interest to your hairstyle!

All you need to do is pop your hair into a Ponytail- It can be high or low, whichever you prefer. 

Then simply add your Pearl Headband  as the finishing touch, and you're ready to go! We've used our Pearl Headband Woven for this style as it's classically simple, and great for everyday elegance. 

3) Pearl Headband with Curled Hair Down

To glam up your Pearl Headband  - try adding a slight curl to your hair.

This look is perfect for any special events you may have, and it is a fabulous way to showcase your statement headband. 

In the first 2 looks, we smoothed the hair back with the headbands. This time, the hair is relaxed, and the headband is simply added on top of a hair-down hairstyle.

Try leaving some hair in front of your ears, rather than pulling the hair behind the ears. It gives a softer finish, and it is particularly good if you don't like to show your ears too much (as I don't!).

Pair your Pearl headband with our Pearl Earrings for even more shine and glamour! 

4) Pearl Headband With an Undone Bun

A Hair Bun is a classic hairstyle that is always practical and chic - and your Pearl Headbands will elevate this look to the next level! 

All you have to do to create this laid-back hairstyle is pull your hair into the bun in the middle of your head at the back, don't worry if it's not neat - the messy look is perfect for an undone bun! 

Pull some pieces out around the front of your face to finish that undone bun look and now just add your Pearl Headband for a dose of glam. 

You can wear this everyday - and style with your favourite jumper and jeans - as we have in the photo above. Or try adding a floaty top with your relaxed hairstyle for a nice dinner with your girls - you'll ooze laid back chic, and turn heads at the same time!

5) Pearl Headband with a Top Knot

For a dressed up, polished look, style your Pearl Headband with a sleek top knot like we have in our photo here. 

This silver pearl headband really adds extra shine to your look. A bun alone would not have the same head-turning factor. 

Simply sleek your hair back into a bun, using pins and some hairspray to keep the look slick. Finally, add your Pearl Headband and you're ready to sparkle - whether you are off to a special event, or simply dressing up to feel great!
