Lipstick? Check. Outfit? On point as usual. Accessories? On rotation because you’re relying on the same few typical pieces — we’re talking necklaces, earrings and the like — in your collection.

But if you’re looking to dress up your everyday work outfit, hair accessories are another way for you to easily incorporate stylish elements to your outfit while still looking professional and polished.

From hair clips and slides to barrettes and hairbands, here are 12 of our favourite. Get them on your hair now.

Jennifer Behr with faux pearls, $175 from Mytheresa

Gucci crystal interlocking G headband, prices available in store

Channel the style of the roaring twenties (i.e. The Great Gatsby vibes) by adorning yourself with a flapper dress and topping it off with this crystal Gucci headband.
