A common misconception about fashion is that you need to be wearing a fresh-off-the-catwalk trend or a pair of shoes that the internet has deemed to be “hot right now” in order to be considered fashionable. But in truth, great style is actually about recognising a more subtle change in the temperature of fashion’s front room.
Enter, then, the white T-shirt “crescent”, the latest barely-there style poised to take your look from ordinary to on-trend this spring. I say poised — chances are you’re already a experienced in the art of layering a white T-shirt under your chosen crewneck knit and leaving just enough (crescent-shaped) tee on display so your look might be considered “a bit fashion”.
The white tee under a jumper is taking the look from twee and conservative.
And if you thought the above was a very simple fashion concept (and boring) – then check this out – the new cult hair accessory adored by the cool crowd.
At last, a fashion accessory equally fit for the high street or for the runways of Paris that we can all afford. And it’s the quickest and cheapest way to update your look. A black stretchy headband, available in a £3 multipack of three from Boots or Superdrug, is the latest must-have item for spring.
So, no — you don’t need the latest “It” bag to fit in with the cool crowd. Simply pop along to the toiletries aisle and pick up a headband. You may already have one in your bathroom cupboard. Perhaps you use it to soak up the sweat as you exercise in the gym. I have a few – I’ll admit.
On the front row of recent fashion shows it has been elevated to must-have status. Right now, it’s what all the hip girls are using to polish off their appearance. For most of us, the band is a quick fix on bad hair days. But there is much more potential than that.
In fashion, it is 2025’s most affordable trend, and right now, a cheap black headband is as much an indicator of style as any luxury bag or shoe. Dolce & Gabbana recently styled all their models in simple black headbands.
Of the cheaper high street brands, a Claire’s Accessories buyer says multi basics black heads bands, priced £4.50 for a pack of three, and £6 “flat wide” models are massively popular. So, don’t say I’m not saving you a quid or two this season!
