Sometimes the best hairstyles rely on a few accoutrements to polish everything off

Forget getting creative with your hair for a bit, and jazz up any look with an unexpected accessory. It takes the place of complicated hair while still keeping you sartorially on track (even on your laziest of summer afternoons).

Piers Atkinson Roses Garland Headband
No shrinking violets here. Channel the chanteuse Lana del Rey (and a bevy of socialites) in this perfectly of-the-moment floral headband. Large roses adorn a simple band, making it a cinch to wear but delivering megawatt results. A swipe of a bright matching lip color will pull it all together. $58

Tasha ‘Feather’ Crystal Hair Clip
Available in black diamond, silver and topaz, this bejeweled feather will add a touch of romance to any after-dark updo. The whimsical design feels very Gatsby-ish. $38

Gold Corrugated Hinged Ponytailer
This streamlined cuff takes a regular pony from dull to wow. Summer-friendly, the cuff (it’s attached to an elastic band so it’s easy to use) transforms whatever you’re wearing—from t-shirt to suit—into pure sartorial inspiration. Not to mention, the ponytail is the ultimate accessory for hot weather, plus it’s totally on-trend. $16.57

Disc Crown Head Band
This exotic crown headband is part desert princess, part forest nymph, and all glamour. You’ve seen Nicole Richie wear something similar and it works for both day and night. Keep hair straight or slightly wavy at the ends for ultimate wearability. $9.94

Spike Ear Cuff and Comb
Unleash your inner punk with this unexpectedly cool accessory. The spiked cuff fits neatly behind and over your ear, while four chains are affixed with a comb into your hair. This is the ultimate touch to toughen up a pony during summer. $16.57
