Whether headbands, flower clips, hats, or eccentric objects attached to the head, designers insist on including some sort of headpiece in their looks for Spring 2009. It adds a certain drama to a more classic look or can make a statement to an over-the-top outfit. Toned down for real life, they can be fun to play with and a less expensive option over a designer dress. Keep it light and pretty with a colorful flower headband, or get a little tough with an edgy fedora in a soft print.

Have fun and go wild with a large, exotic hair clip or throw on a hat to hide a bad hair day disaster. Either way, you’ll have plenty of options to choose from this spring.
