Spotted: The Simple Way Fashionable People Are Styling Their Bobs Right Now

It's no secret by now that the bob hairstyle is one of the biggest hair trends of the season. Whether you're going for a blunt bob, a beachy bob, a lob or even a micro bob hairstyle, there are so many chic iterations of this trending cut, so it's no wonder that it's been spotted on some of the most fashionable people as of late.

However, as a beauty editor who studies hair trends for a living, I've suddenly noticed a simple yet elevated way that the fashion set is styling their bobs this season. It seems to me that right now we are seeing the return of the humble hair accessory.

I know statement clips and 90s-style headbands might seem dated to some, but I've spotted these accessories making a huge comeback, and I have to say, I'm not mad about it. In my opinion, these looks take the bob haircut to a whole other level and make your short hairstyle appear even more fashionable. Below, I've rounded up some of the best bob hair accessory looks I've seen of late, so keep on scrolling for all the inspo.

A cap is the ultimate cool-girl accessory, but there's something about the combination of this hat and a bob hairstyle that looks so chic. The fashion set's summer cap of choice? Ralph Lauren, of course.
