Crazy hair accessories you can't wear to work (or can you?)

Hair accessories like hair ribbons have been a huge trend recently. And honestly, combined with the right outfit they suddenly don’t look like a children’s accessory anymore. But as usual with fashion statements, some of these hair accessories look so quirky, they are not really suitable for your usual office environment.

I have been so fascinated with this trend, I actually went and made a list for you with 20 crazy hair accessories I wouldn’t wear to work!

Oversized hair bows*

Ztl Women Huge Bow Headband Hairband Hair Hoop Costume Accessories Party Props

These big hair bows* were all over this summer. I wonder if Sia started this trend?

Anyways. As fun as they are as a fashion statement, for most jobs, these hair accessories would probably rather seem unfitting.

Get one here!*

Shiny cat ears headband*

FRCOLOR Cat Ears Headband, Glitter Sequin Ear Headbands Metal Hair Hoops for Daily Party (12 Pack)

Who needs a Snapchat filter when you can just wear shiny cat ears* in real life?

The seller advertises this headband as “bringing a feminine touch to your favorite look this season.” And it will definitely look cute! But not quite the right look for working in a corporate office…

80’s style lace hair bow*

Black Lace Headband with Bow (1 Pc), Accessory for Cosplay, Themed Parties & More

Oh, how the 80’s are back! This headband* comes with an oversized black lace hair ribbon on top. Perfect for any motto party, but not so much for a “serious” environment.

Black rose hair clips*

Vintage Black Rose Hair Clip Gothic Flower Bobby Pin Barrettes Hair Accessories Goth Kangsanli

If you are feeling either really fancy or looking for some goth vibes, this hair clip* can definitely help out with that! But I would definitely feel weird wearing this to work.

Creepy hair ties with eyes*

Kawaii Eyeball Hair Bow Bands Green Leopard By Kreepsville 666

Looking for really weird hair accessories? Check out these!

These hair ties* are perfect for your next Halloween party. Creepy and super easy to use. But unless you generally go for a creepy fashion style, they probably won’t become part of your daily attire.

20’s style flapper headband*

BABEYOND 1920s Flapper Headband 20s Great Gatsby Headpiece Black Feather Headband 1920s Flapper Gatsby Accessories with Crystal (Black)

I am low-key smitten with the look of this flapper headpiece*. It clearly channels the Roaring Twenties look and I would definitely wear it for the right occasion!

But imagining showing up in the office like that? Uhmmm, no thanks!

Golden head chain with drop pendant*

Jovono Boho Pearl Headchain Gold Bridal Wedding Headpiece Rhinestone Hair Chain Festival Costume Prom Hair Accessories for women and girls (Set E)

While this head chain*definintely has a very nice boho style to it, I have a hard time picturing Linda from accounting wearing it when presenting last month’s numbers.

Honest question: Does anyone wear those chains other than for pictures? Anyone? Just asking for a friend with curly, tangly hair who needed external help to get rid of her head chain. She is fine now, thank you.
