Pearls never go out of style. We've literally been adorning ourselves with them for millenia (the ancient Romans and Chinese were both fans). What does change is how we prefer to wear our pearls. And while pearl-strand necklaces and bracelets (with matching stud earrings, of course!) were the style of choice for our mothers' and grandmothers' generation, in 2019, the coolest way to wear pearls is in your hair.
Pearl hair accessories have been bubbling up in the fashion and world for over a year, and based on what we're seeing in stores this Autumn (and in Rodarte's recent fashion campaign [1]), the trend shows no sign of slowing down. There's something for every taste and budget: you can find packs of pearl bobby pins at both high-street stores like H&M and high-end websites like Net-a-Porter. Chanel makes a gorgeous pearl-topped scrunchie, while Accessorize has a hair tie with giant pearl bobbles. And every brand makes some version of a pearl Alice band, some of them delicate and simple, others oversize and over the top (in the best of ways).
We were so obsessed with all of the gorgeous pearl hair jewellery we kept seeing both on our Instagram feeds and whilst online shopping that we finally decided to round them up all in on place. Keep reading to see the ultimate guide to the most stylish pearl hair accessories for Autumnn 2019.
