Lightweight and secure, they're made for all-day wear, from early geometry to after-school runs.

Twisted Turban Headbands in Every Color

Wrap you head with a soft, stretchy material. It’s perfect for PE days, weekends, or whenever you want your hair out of your way with zero fuss and a sleek finish.

Scrunchies & Matching Sets

Never underestimate the power of a great scrunchie—especially when you can match it to your headband for coordinated style with minimal effort!

From solids to playful prints, our scrunchies are the perfect soft and snag-free touch for any up-do. Collect a few to stash in your backpack, car, or locker—trust us, you’ll thank yourself on those wild hair days.

Double up with a scrunchie and headband combo for an on-trend, layered look that pulls any outfit together. Casual Chic Luxe even offers them in matching patterns, such as the Pencil Bow collection from Evie Pearl Handmade.

Claw Clips

An essential hair accessories that blend practicality with effortless charm, claw clips are a lifesaver for jam-packed mornings and long study nights.

Available in a range of sizes, shapes, and finishes, they can instantly elevate even the simplest hairstyle. Oversized matte clips offer a relaxed, off-duty aesthetic ideal for casual errands or coffee dates, while sleek, tortoiseshell designs lend a more polished, Parisian flair perfect for workwear or evenings out. Whether twisted into a classic French tuck or used to half-pull back loose waves, claw clips offer endless styling options without damage or fuss.

Claw clips aren’t just functional—they’re modern style statements in their own right. Try a jade clip to bring a touch of elegance to a minimalist outfit, or layer metallic clips with gold jewelry for a cohesive, intentional vibe. Translucent pastel clips pair beautifully with soft knits and spring palettes, while bold graphic designs can act as the focal point of a neutral look. The key is to treat the clip as part of the outfit—not just an afterthought. Experiment with placement, from high twisted buns to low half-ups, to find the look that best frames your face and fits your day.

Bold Bows

Bows aren’t just for the elementary crowd anymore—they’re having a major style revival, and today’s options range from sweet and simple to all-out statement. In our collection, you'll find there’s a bow to match every mood and moment.

Ideal for adding a touch of whimsy, bows elevate everyday hairstyles like ponytails, half-ups, and braids with ease. For younger wearers, styles featuring fun patterns—like books, stars, or school colors—strike just the right balance between fun and fashionable, making them perfect for picture day, spirit events, or first-day outfits. 

Mix it up: Pin a large bow at the base of a braid or clip onto a tote for a bit of extra charm. 

Dreamy colors, pretty fabrics, and hand-tied charm elevate any hairstyle. Try one for picture day or coordinate with friends for school-spirit events.
