I am very fashion-challenged and need advice. I'm starting a new job in about a week and need to dress nicely for the first time ever. My question is: can I wear a headband if I have bangs? I'm looking for more options than my standard hair down/hair in a ponytail to add to my repertoire, but am pretty clueless about this whole thing.

Any other fashion advice for a professional workplace would be appreciated if you have anything to offer!

You can darn well wear anything you like! The tyranny of fashion serves only to make some people feel inferior on the irrelevant basis of appearance.

However. I do understand your desire to feel comfortable in your new job, and since a lot of people do pay attention to what's "in style," you might want to make an effort to blend in... even though you shouldn't have to.

So... sure, I think a headband looks cute with bangs! But considering how I feel about fashion... I wouldn't trust my advice one iota!


Perhaps someone else... almost anyone else... would be better equipped to advise you.

As someone who has many, many, many headbands...... It seems like they are making a comeback-just don't where the stretchy ones to work.
I wore them when I had bangs!!
Do you have any of those big hair clips that you can wear your hair up in????

head bands, like the plastic ones? like from the 80's? Are those making a comeback?

I'm a stay @ home mom... I don't get out... I don't know what's IN.

I have no clue about fashion. I tend to not follow all that. Plus I don't have bangs either. But I think headbands and bangs would be just ok.

Over the river and through the woods...
I've recently (as in the past few days) have seen people wearing them with bangs, without bangs. I didn't know they were making a comeback either. I remember wearing the stretchy ones when I was in grade school back in the 70's. Personally, I think they look really nice with bangs.

Hey, it just occurred to me -- I do beading, and I've recently seen a lot of wire headbands designed for bead embellishment showing up in the shops. So maybe they are in style! Who knew?
