5 Scenarios Where a Head Chain is Appropriate

The head chain is an unusual but an increasingly popular accessory amongst women these days, with its simplistic yet highly dazzling design suggesting elegance and sophistication in the wearer. It probably also makes the inner princess in a fair few squeal with delight too. However as with all new fashion items the question arises as to where a head chain is appropriate to wear, not just as a matter of style but also as a matter of practicality. You would not wear high heel stilettos on a night dancing at a club, for example, however beautiful they may look.

In a similar case, would it be an idea to wear a head chain while at a party with friends, or if you just wanted to head downtown to pick up groceries? To answer this, remember a head chain is not something you can just throw on, they are actually a rather formal thing to wear. So no, picking up the kids from school probably isn’t somewhere a head chain is appropriate, nor would a rather casual gathering like a family reunion, a BBQ, or a trip to Chuck E. Cheese. However, here are some places where they would be appropriate.

A Wedding

A wedding is an excellent place to wear a head chain. Weddings are typically scenarios where the ladies get a chance to show off and wear suitably fashionable clothing, whether it is their most expensive pair of Italian shoes or their newest Parisian hat. As such head chains are a superb way to add to this procession, elegantly accentuating your clothing in a way that draws the eye without being too loud.

Given that no one wants to outshine the bride on her special day, head chains are just the thing if you wish to draw attention without upstaging the girl of the hour.

The Prom

Just like weddings, proms are a chance for girls to show off in style. In the competition to outdo each other, you may be tempted to try and add as much to your outfit as possible. Sometimes, however, a girl has to remember the age-old maxim of “Less is more”. A head chain allows you to round off your attire in a way that is both tasteful and demure. If you’ve spent ages on your makeup or hair, it is also a splendid way to keep everyone’s attention towards this details.

You can secure your head chain in place with a bobby pin if you ever get the urge to dance, which will help keep it from slipping off. Alternatively if you find the jangling chains a bit of a headache, you can always take it off and slide it into your handbag.

Garden Parties

Garden parties by their nature tend to be very laid back and relaxed, usually focusing more on socialising in a formal setting more than anything else. Typically, if you’re attending one of these, you’re wanting to make a good impression on someone very important, such as a future boss, or maybe a potential patron of a cause you wish to support.

The lack of rigorous energy in such a gathering means that head chains really come into their own. At the prom, you’ll more than likely want to get dancing, which a head chain may obstruct depending how loose it is. They may even look a little silly. Here you are probably not doing anything vigorous at all, which emphasises the simple elegance that head chains draw on.

Music Festivals or Summer Festivals

It can be very hard to find accessories that set you apart at a summer festival. By their nature, they tend to be a little wild and encourage personal expression, and, as a result, you’ll often be competing with everyone else for notice. Once more, wearing a head chain can help you out here. There’s very little to them, and they can be mixed and matched to a broad range of styles and clothing types. Their minimalist design means that they can pretty much go with anything, so for those who like to be creative you truly have a friend in them.

Those Special Nights Out

For those who like the highlife, a head chain is an excellent accessory for those special, classy nights out, whatever they are. Whether it is a candle-lit dinner for two with that special someone, or an unexpected trip to the opera for those with a taste in the classical, head chains can get you by just about anywhere. Being so formal and meek, they allow you to be seen without showing off and to turn heads without needing much effort.
