The tiara is a very old feminine accessory and in some places is known by other names like bow (headband) or headband. It can be structured (firm) or malleable, as is the case with headbands made of satin ribbon or other fabrics.
Usually the accessory is seen as a romantic, delicate and very feminine article, very much linked to the woman's first encounter with vanity, as many women end up getting to know the tiaras when they are still babies and wear them until their late teens.
However, this idea that tiaras are only for babies, girls and adolescents should be dismissed. Today you can find a multitude of designs and colors that match any age and occasion. So, don't be afraid to adopt this piece in your everyday looks.
How to include the tiara in the look
Here are some of the occasions when you can wear the tiara, as well as some tips for choosing the right one:
Daily life: To go to college, work, shopping etc? Choose a simple model without many applications. This makes it easier to match the outfit you choose to go out. Narrow structured models are darlings of women. Do you choose colors like brown, black and navy or with gold or leopard print? It is a charm.
Weddings, ballads and gala parties: For these events care should be taken not to wear a bridal-like tiara. Tiaras and headbands with spikes and glitter or gold or silver leather are good options to wear for more elaborate looks.
Fiancee: If you are getting married, this is the opportunity to wear a beautiful hair accessory. It can be a princess style tiara, an embroidered headband or even a appliqué cap.
Academy: At the gym, it is recommended to wear the fabric headband and it is very comfortable so as not to disturb during training. This way, you knit without getting your hair falling on your face. It's an asset for those with short fringes.
Babies: If you have a girl and she still doesn't have enough hair to put on embellished hair clips, use the baby headbands. They are comfortable, do not disturb the child and make babies even cuter.
These are just a few suggestions, after all you can wear the tiaras at any time and occasion you wish. But remember that it is important to choose a model that is firm in the head without squeezing and hurt. Get inspired by some models that can be found in online stores:

How to match tiara color with hair?
The rule in this case is quite simple. If you want the headband to stand out, choose a contrasting shade to the color of your hair. If you want the look discreet and delicate, opt for a tone similar to your hair.
