#ThrowbackThursday: the scrunchie is back!

accreditation

Perfect for a bit of added fun and flair to your look, this humble hair tie now belongs in your #OOTD bag of tricks.

We love them in bright colours and polka dots and have played around with styling this retro item on different hair lengths and thickness.

And yes, we're being very serious.

TIP: You can even tie a scarf around your bun in case you don't own a scrunchie - it almost has the same effect.

Find a silk one at your local vintage shop or market. We also love this one by H&MxErdem, R429.
