Look for headbands in darker colors and more sophisticated prints ( likes leopard or snakeskin).
Interesting textures can be quite sophisticated too.
Thinner, finer plastic headbands tend to look chic as they are more subtle.
Vintage headbands with a twist knot are trending and can be a playful fashion statement.
A casual headband ( typically a brighter color) usually says “preppy.” Make sure your outfit is also casual to work with this look.
Anything with a traditional bow is very tricky and in most cases are not age-appropriate
Scarves tied as headbands are an excellent way to keep your hair back and will give you a boho-chic vibe
Avoid any kind of headband that looks like something you’d see a 7-year-old wearing
I'm glad you brought this up since headbands have been so popular lately. They can certainly be a good thing to wear when transitioning from one style to another. A headband is great for accentuating bangs. It can flaunt a pixie cut, or show off longer locks quite nicely too. A headband can even become part of your signature style.
The problem with wearing a headband after 40 is you can come across looking too girly and juvenile. Up until now, there hasn’t been a wide variety of headband styles, and the majority of headbands out there were sweet and childlike. Now that's changed.
I think headbands can be fine at any age, but as a mature woman, I'd steer clear of headbands with flowers, floppy bows, and sparkly little girl styles. Think classy, less cutesy when choosing a headband. This fine resin headband is more elegant.
