Wondering how to wear a headband in a cute way? Well, you’ve come to the right place, my love!
As a round-face girl myself, I always thought headbands were off-limits for me.
But guess what, If you pick the right design, a wide headband can be super forgiving and stylish!
Ahead, I’ve gathered 20 wide headband ideas on Pinterest, and I will also share my own try-on photos and some headband styling dos and don’ts.
Enjoy and pin some cute looks for later reference <3
1. Monotone outfit with thick headband
Fashion comes and goes, and monotone style is here to stay.
If you want to rock the thick headband in a minimalist yet put-together way, the monochromatic look is THE foolproof.
Need I say more?
This look is screaming “oh-so-high fashion” in the most effortless way.
I mean, you can never go wrong with a sleeveless high-neck top like this.
Teaming the same shade from head to toe, not only does it elongate your figure visually, but you just look so put together as a set.
To add some dimension, throwing on some silver accent accessories will always do the trick.
Of course, you can never go wrong with a black-and-white look.
It’s giving the elegant French girl vibes — obsessed.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #1:
Use nail polish clear coat on fraying thread ends to stop further unraveling until you can properly repair the item!
2. Thick headband with tracksuit
For a more Y2K look, I’d say rock that tracksuit simply because it looks absolutely gorgeous.
Especially with a high pony like this girl below!
And guess what, If you have a big forehead, a thick headband is just super forgiving and helps contour the hairline and face shape!
In my hot sporty girl era.
The headband just adds some attitude to this look.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #2:
Prevent button-down shirts from gapping between buttons by using double-sided fashion tape <3

3. Sweet Barbie look with thick headband
If you have bangs, this sweet Barbie look is for you.
If you want to achieve a flawless look and add extra volume to the hair, remember to bend your head forward and give a few brush strokes before you rock that headband on.
This little trick just works every single time.

4. Preppy country club outfit
Last month I bought this gorgeous headband gold headband from NAMJOSH and this is how I style it!
What do you ladies think about this look? Follow my Instagram and comment on my post – would love to know your thoughts!
For a cute preppy look, a knit polo and pleated tennis skirt is such a classic combo – you can never go wrong.
This headband just completely elevates this look with an artsy note — love it.
If you are wondering, this tennis skirt is from ASHWORTH and the bowling bag is from MLB.

It's always so fun see from data to know what you girls prefer!
5. Headband x hoop earrings
For the creative fashion girlies out there, you know that with one headband, you can literally create unlimited looks.
And when it comes to a more high-street chic, low-key boho look, consider styling your headband with hoop earrings.
I don’t know how to describe it, but it definitely added a cool factor and sophistication to your ensemble.
If you are feeling extra flamboyant today, pick the statement big hoop earrings to turn heads.
Cool girl in the house.
And again, by teaming the big statement accessories like hoop earrings and thick headband, it just draws eyes away from your face and, in the meantime, makes it look proportionally smaller.
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #5:
Stretch tight shoes by wearing them with thick socks and blowing them with a hairdryer!
6. Style it as girly like Blair Waldorf
Any gossip girls fans here?!
Crowned as “Queen B” of the Upper East Side in Gossip Girl, Blair’s fashion style is just top-notch.
And one of her favorites? Definitely the thick headbands.
Fashion comes and goes, but the red plaid headband is here to stay.
Such a must-have if you are into schoolgirl fashion.
A velvet ribbon headband and pearl necklace just look as polished as it’s girly.
I am definitely trying out this combo this coming winter!
See how she matches the shade of the headband with her outfits?
That’s very demure, very mindful!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #6:
Quick fix – Brighten yellowed white clothing by soaking in a solution of lemon juice and hot water!

7. Wear a double headband as a set
Let’s be honest, sis, we buy tons of accessories and we never wear them as frequently as they deserve.
If you are guilty about this, well, it’s your sign to start matching the headbands together for more variations!
A safe way to match the headband is to pick the one with similar color tones so they look harmonious together.
Also, avoid matching two headbands with similar textures, as it looks too matchy.
A good example would be a dainty crystal headband with a satin thick headband — it just looks so aesthetic together!
❤️Girl’s fashion hack #7:
Whenever I feel bloated, I’ll always use a rubber band to loop through a button hole and around the button for a temporary fix to pants that are too tight!
8. Thick padded headband for a statement look
Want to turn heads? A thick headband isn’t enough.
A thick, padded headband is.
A Barbie pink headband, emerald green earrings, and a blunt orange sweater? Definitely gorgeous.
I am obsessed with the fashion sense of this girl — the jewel tone is so classy and feminine.
Hair styling tip:
If you have a round face like me and want to elongate the face, the extra height of the padded headband truly helps to flatter the face shape!
Can we talk about how this wine-red headband matches perfectly with the earrings and lips?
Such a demure look.
❤️ Girl’s fashion hack#8: Keep Jewelry Organized While Traveling hackThread necklaces through drinking straws to prevent tangling – simply clasp the necklace and thread the chain through a straw.
9. Thick headscarf with a backless top
Ladies, how to explain this feeling to guys?
Sun’s out, perfect eyeliner, cute headscarf, and you’re ready to take a ton of photos—this is how we get to the flow state literally.
If you want to highlight your hairstyle, I highly recommend you wear a backless top, as it’s such a perfect way
A spaghetti strap cami top like this from Amazon can never go wrong.
