Fashion Must-Have: New Headbands by Local Designer Kristen Amato

Remember when you decided to grow your bangs out? It was sixth grade, and your mom made you wear a headband everyday until your hair was presentable again.

Let’s just say it really wasn’t the best look for your formative years…

Well, you – and headbands – have come a long way since then.

That’s why Chicago designer Kristen Amato is expanding her popular jewelry line, K-Amato, (Eva Longoria Parker is a fan) to include skinny headbands, accented with vintage pieces in gold filigree.

The headbands stay true to Amato’s style, which has been described as “breezy” and “feminine.” The new headbands retail for $38, and will soon be on sale at www.k-amato.com. (You can already find them at Macy's, Mint Julep and Tribeca.)

Now you look back at sixth grade and realize you were just ahead of your time.

You’re so fashion-forward.
