Winter Headbands - Our Top 5 Ways to Wear Them

Do you love headbands, whatever the weather? Even when it's windy and cold, you can have your headband fix with winter headbands!

Sometimes at my Pop Up Shops, when I talk face to face with my lovely customers, winter headbands take a little explaining. That's why I'm delighted to guide you through why and how to wear them here. 

Don't compromise on style - stay warm and chic in a winter headband!

In recent years, I have become a headband addict, because I love the way headbands elevate your look in an instant. I love wearing them running about my daily errands, (for the confidence boost they give me), I love wearing them on holiday to transform a summer dress for the evening. Headbands have become my go-to accessory for any occasion, and I don't want to compromise on my headband fix, even when there's a gale blowing outside!

I find so many of my lovely customers feel the same way. They adore the versatility and transformational qualities of headbands. Just like me, they want to be able to wear headbands to elevate their look all year round!

That's why I started designing warm, winter headbands. I get cold easily, and spend October through to April wrapped in faux furs and fluffy gilets. I wanted my headbands to be snuggly and warm, as well as glamorous.

 

Here I am on my morning dog walk in Buckinghamshire, ears nice and warm thanks to my winter headband, yet still stepping out with a spring in my step, as I've got my headband fix. (I've tried beanies, but they aren't quite the same in the glamour stakes!)

If you love sparkle, you can add brooches to your winter headband to create a headpiece that makes you feel as though you're channelling a vintage movie star. Why not step into that vibe on your morning dog walk?

How do I wear a winter headband?

There are a few different ways to wear winter headbands, and I hope this post will encourage you to experiment, and find your own winter headband style.

When I sell my collection face-to-face at my Pop Up Shops, and meet lovely new customers, they sometimes aren't sure how to wear a winter headband. I always encourage them just to try one on and they are usually very pleasantly surprised by the range of ways to wear them, and just how warm they are too!

1) Wear your Winter Headband with your Hair Up

 

The beauty of winter headbands (as opposed to hats), is that if you are a ponytail wearer, or you love wearing your hair in a messy bun, you can still rock your hair up and keep your ears warm, without disturbing your hairstyle. 

Here I am on a busy day a one of my Pop Up Shops, serving customers as well as looking after my dog Talula. It was definitely a hair up in a messy bun sort of a day! It was also a chilly day, and so my trusty winter headband came in handy to keep my hair off my face, combined with my messy bun, and also keep my ears nice and warm at the same time. 

This look also works well if you are doing sports such as skiing or running. You can keep your hair well away from your face - staying super warm, and practically stylish. 

 

If you like creating bun hairstyles, then you can see here close up how pretty a bun looks with a winter headband. For extra sparkle, try a gold hair claw with rhinestone to secure your bun, like I am wearing in the photo above. 

A bun plus a luxurious winter headband really is the way forward in having a good hair day and staying snuggly and warm. 

 2) Wear your Winter Headband with your Hair Down, underneath your hair

 

If you like to wear your hair down and free, or you are going for a more classic look, then winter headbands look very glamorous indeed, worn with the hair down. This option has the benefit of keeping your hair off your face too, as well as simultaneously keeping your ears toasty warm. 

3) Wear your Hair Down, with the Winter Headband on top of your hair

Here QueenMee Assistant Celine wears her winter headband her favourite way - with her gorgeous, wavy hair loose, and with the winter headband on top to keep her ears snug and warm.

If you have long hair, this look is particularly glamorous, as it shows off your flowing locks. 

Celine has gorgeous thick, wavy hair, and so the chunkiness of the knit on her winter headband sets off her thick hair beautifully.

If you have fine hair, winter headbands still look fabulous with your hair down! If you have a couple of extra minutes, add a curl to your hair to get some volume going on for a va-va-voom look. 

4) Wear Your Winter Headband in a Stand-Out Colour

Here at QueenMee we do love sparkle, but we know that not everyone likes to wear sparkles every day! Sometimes what you need for dopamine dressing is a gorgeous shot of colour. 

Red is always an energising colour, and I love how it makes me feel vibrant and empowered. Why not try a red winter headband for a dose of feel-good fun on your winter walk?

One of our standout colours is Pink - always in style, and ever-popular with our customers. In colour psychology, Pink symbolises Hope. It is seen as a positive colour, inspiring warm and comforting feelings.

Try this Pink Winter Headband for a nice dose of positivity on a grey winter's day.

5) Wear Your Winter Headband Adorned with Statement Jewels!

If you like to stay warm and also stand out from the crowd, go for a turban style winter headband.

Our turban headbands are inspired by Vintage Movie Star Joan Crawford. Turbans have graced the heads of Joan Collins, Grace Kelly and our favourite, Lady Gaga.

Stay warm and step into your inner Movie Star!
