Fendi show highlights we’ve been wearing the headband trend all wrong

Backwards caps are the reserve of the coolest and most carefree kids in any given town. Remember TJ from Recess? Very cool energy. Big moves.

Headbands are more of a mean/hot girl staple, favoured by the likes of Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl. If someone is mean to us wearing one of these, we probably deserve it.

But what if there was a new type of hybrid of these things. Dare I say it… A backwards headband?

Fendi has shifted our whole belief system by bringing such a thing to reality, and we really don’t know how to feel about life anymore.

Exaggeration aside, the headband trend has blown up over the last year or so, and it’s pretty much guaranteed that the most fashionable person in your workplace pulls them off with aplomb.

You should tell them, though, they’re now behind the curve and wearing it all wrong. Fendi says so.

At their Milan Fashion Week show yesterday they had fashion’s elite sporting the chunky bands placed the other way around, looking like a friendly smile underneath their groomed buns.

Much like when your dad puts his glasses on backwards as a joke, the likes of Gigi and Bella Hadid and Kaia Gerber had leather and silk bands hooked over their ears, resting on the napes of their necks.

Accessorising with the Silvia Venturini Fendi-designed full leather or lace outfits, the bands added a feminine touch to the intentionally sleek buns and ponytails worn by the models.

The collection was supposed to evoke femininity, in particular, inspired by 40s Femme Fatales like Ava Gardner.

Plus size model Paloma Elsesser also walked for the fashion house, which is a first for Fendi, and a marker for change across the industry.
