Blair Waldrof's prim, preppy and classic Upper Eastside style has been admired by fashionistas since the beginning of Gossip Girl three years ago. An essential aspect to her carefully executed outfits is the headband. From tartan to satin, with feathers to embellishments, Blair's perfectly waved hair is never seen without a headband in seasons one and two of Gossip Girl.
Because of Gossip Girl, headbands were no longer reminiscent of five year old girls. They could be stylish and sassy. However, long before Blair and her preppy chic, Korean women were experimenting with hair accessories. They adore headbands. One can rarely walk down the street without seeing a selection of them. Girlie and cute, Koreans look youthful and pretty wearing them. It is apparent here, through pop culture and adverts, women like being simultaneously sexy and cute. Headbands enhance this, being youthful, quirky and classic.
Throughout Seoul, one can find headbands with embellishments and adorned with feathers or pleated silk. They come in an assortment of bright, vivid colours and prints. Without a doubt, Blair Waldorf would be in headband heaven in Seoul.
