Fashion moves so fast these days that it’s hard to keep up. But the latest trend is a no-brainer: gorgeous head jewelry designed to make you feel like an Egyptian goddess. If the idea of wrapping your pretty little noggin with chains and gems sounds strange, consider this: You wouldn’t think twice about adorning your neck, ears, wrists and fingers, right? So why not bedazzle your most valuable asset?
No longer just for brides, Bollywood stars and princesses, head jewelry is now hitting the mainstream. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Vanessa Hudgens have been caught out and about sporting gold and silver chains draped over wavy tresses or a sleek ponytail. Styles range from simple gold chains to custom pieces ornamented with antique metal accents, rhinestones or jewels. While it’s still hard to find these heady accessories in stores, they’re readily available online from crafty purveyors such as etsy.com.
Do know that this look is somewhat tricky to pull off. For God’s sake, don’t think of pairing head chains with yoga pants or a plaid dress; instead opt for a laid-back boho frock, a flowing midi skirt and tank, or a breezy wide-legged romper. The trick is to let whatever you string above your ears shine, and to wear the piece with the utmost confidence. Walk into a room like you own that head chain. Or better yet, like you are that Egyptian goddess.
