For a runway-inspired look à la Jason Wu's spring collection, try the Capsule Ponytail Clip, $18, from Nasty Gal, or Forever 21 Lacquered Cuff Hair Elastic, $6.80.
For added color and texture, twist your ponytail up with a Henri Bendel Broadway Dome Pony, $48, in coral, or this Metallic Leather Thin Pony Wrap, $65, from the queen of hair accessories, Jennifer Behr.

Festival-Approved Florals
You don't have to be hitting the music festival circuit in denim cutoffs and oversized sunnies to work feminine flowers into your hair. For a softer approach to the flower crown, try this peachy headband from Johnny Loves Rosie, $30.10.
If you're not ready to go all out, clip one of these Ban.do Mini Pom Pom Flowers, $12, into loose or pulled-back hair. Or weave a Free People Floral Braid In, $24, into your hair for the most gorgeous braided look we've ever seen.

It's Greek to Me
A Grecian-style headband is the perfect complement to sun-kissed skin and metallic gladiators. Claire's Filigree Leaves Headwrap, $7.50, can be worn as a headband or wrapped slightly lower across the forehead. Or try the Urban Outfitters Athena Headband, $20 for a more subtle take on the trend.

All Tied (and Twisted) Up
There are endless options when it comes to headbands and turbans, but these are our favorites. The Forever 21 Classic Turban-Style Headwrap, $3.80, comes in several colors, and is so budget-friendly, you can scoop them all up. Or get twisted with the L. Erickson Interlock Turban Headband, $24.
If you want to take the classic turban up a notch, try a Three Bird Nest Mint Jeweled Beaded Turban Headband, $38, or ASOS Peacock Print Turban, $11.29.

It's a Wrap
For a casual finishing touch to ponytails and topknots, we love the Scünci Floral Print Bun Wrap, $3.99, American Apparel Printed Cotton Twist Scarf, $14, and Three Bird Nest Dolly Bow Head Wrap, $18. They make any weekend outfit instantly cuter.
Hair accessories are basically jewelry for your hair -- which might explain why we just can't get enough. They're a quick way to add color and personality to basic hairstyles. Pop a Swarovski-encrusted comb alongside a topknot, and suddenly you're a modern day Holly Golightly. Throw a patterned turban over beach-y waves for an instant dose of bohemian cool.
These are the hair accessories that have us inspired for spring. They promise to keep you looking impossibly chic -- even on hot days when you're rocking a slicked-back pony or messy bun.
