Have you heard of the ‘Zoom dressing’ trend? It came about during the pandemic when we all wore athleisure clothing and getting comfy in our own homes. As the lockdown continued, though, the need to look more business professional became apparent, and the ‘Zoom dressing’ trend was born.
‘Zoom dressing’ meant party on the top and comfy on the bottom. Basically, anything viewers could see from the waist up was professional or trendy, but on the bottom – it was PJ pants or lounge pants all day long.
This led to the popularity of hair accessories. They were a fun and easy way to dress up the top half of your outfit, making you look trendy and no one knew you were comfy on the bottom.

Why Hair Accessories are so Great
You may think hair accessories aren’t important to help you look professional, but they add an air of fun to any outfit.
Just like a necklace or bracelets help spruce up an outfit, fashion hair accessories liven things up. Plus, they’re so easy to use. Whether you love headbands, barrettes, or hair clips, there are plenty to choose from to suit your hairstyle and preferences.
Fashion Hair Accessories Let you be Yourself
If there’s one thing we all learned during the pandemic, it’s to be ourselves. Love your body and hair the way it is and wear what you think is beautiful.
That’s why we love all the ‘old school’ trends that are coming back today. Barrettes, hair clips, and even sunglass chains are making their way not only to the runway but to the everyday woman’s hair too.
When you wear accessories, you’re flaunting your personality or what you love about yourself. It’s not about what others say is trendy or good – it’s what you want to wear. You’ve likely seen more memes and shout-outs for women to wear that two-piece bathing suit or wear those shorts – love your body as it is! The same is true of your hair.
Whether you have straight hair that won’t curl or curly hair that you wish was straight – embrace it by embellishing it with hair accessories that make you feel good.
Our Favorite Hair Accessories
Everyone has their own opinion and you should wear what you love, but here are a few of our favorites.
Barrettes are a fan favorite. They do so much from holding your bangs back to holding up the hair underneath your ponytail or just adding a little decoration to your hair. They make things fun when your same old boring hairstyle isn’t cutting it for you any longer.
We also love hair clips, from tiny to extra-large, there are hair clips for all hairstyles and types. Use them to hold your sides up to get them out of your face and create a defined look or for a complete updo. They are easy to use – you don’t need to know any special techniques or be ‘great’ with hair – just twist your hair and put the clip in and you have a ‘fancier’ hairdo.
Have Fun with Hair Accessories
If you haven’t noticed the trend yet – hair accessories are all about having fun. Whether you work from home on Zoom, are a stay-at-home mom, or work in the office – there are plenty of ways to have fun with your hair even if you don’t have a lot of places to go.
When your hair looks good, you feel good and that’s what matters. Have some fun trying different accessories and styles, determining which look you love the most. Try it out with your daughters, with friends, or by yourself. Hair is one part of our body we can experiment with as much as we want with no devastating effects, so have some fun!
Add some hair accessories to your wardrobe and watch how different you feel just shaking things up with new hairstyles. The best news is if you don’t like the way a style looks, you can try again with another before even leaving the house.
