OrganzaScrunchies
Oversize scrunchies have been trending for a while, but it's the cloud-like organza ones that are taking center stage right now. We love the ultra-sheer ones that are all but transparent, but shinier varieties that are a tad more opaque are also topping the list of must-havesnext year.

Furry Bucket Hats
I don't know who needs to hear this, but faux fur never goes out of style, especially when it comes to one of the coolest, most '90s-inspired accessories on the scene: furry bucket hats. This one needs little to no explanation because, well, just look at what an impact this kind of cap canhave on an outfit.

Ultra-Wide Headbands
Gone are the days ofkeeping wide headbands on deck just for athletic activities and facials. Fashionpeople have officially promoted the accessory to ensemble component, and we're not mad about it.

Retro Driving Scarves
Thelma and Louise would be proud to see this trend popping back up. Though the old-school gals used soft scarves to protect their hair while riding top-down on the highway, it looks like the fashionsethas co-opted the look for purely sartorial purposes.

Beaded Headbands
It seems like every year, some sort of beaded hair accessory makes its way into the running for most popular, and this year, it's beaded headbands. We love the intricate animal-print detailing, but other themes like the cosmos and rainbow hues are just as cool.

Wild WestHats
From Solange Knowles to Megan Thee Stallion, the girls have been bringing cowgirl chic to the forefront for some time now. We've seen similar hats in the past, but these particular wide-brimmed versions are decidedly Western. Yeehaw.
BraidedHeadbands
There's nothing like a good headband to really bring an outfit together, and braided ones are so chic. They're soft and elegant and the perfect addition to your hair. We're into these in a major way.
Mini Jaw Clips
The year 1997 called, andit wantsits most beloved hair accessory back. But unfortunately, we're currently in a torrid entanglement with these teeny-tiny jaw clips that can be arranged at the base of front twists à la Topanga Lawrence or strewn throughout the hair with reckless abandon.

The clips just keep getting bigger, don't they? This year, they're supersized and adorned with pretty embellishments like rhinestones and pearls.

Dainty Claws
Claw clips have been bubbling since the 2018 runway shows, but the quintessentially '90s trend has been distilled into a more refined look to fit 2022. Nowadays, you can expect to see more dainty takes on claw clips withdelicate details and in pretty golden finishes.

Maximalist Clip Stacks
Clips will never not be in style, but the volumeat which we wear them seems to change with the wind. This year, it looks like we're wearing all of the clips, all at once.
