There’s nothing quite like an accessory to spruce up your aesthetic. But in 2020, we’re taking our embellishments to the next level. We’re talking about accessory stacking, the over-the-top layering trend that’s taking the industry by storm. From instagram influencers to high fashion runway models, every it-girl is going all in on this glitzy new trend. Read on for 10 unique ways to rock this decade’s first big thing.
1. Pretty Pastels
Go big or go home. This accessory stacking trend is larger than life, so opt for accessories that are too. A few pastel barrettes can add a pop of color to waves strands.

2. Prints
Printed pins can make for a pretty palette. Alternate classic black bobbies in for a few wild clips for an eye-catching 'do. These slender barettes are great for a side-parted style.

3. Staggered Black and White
Monochrome is having a moment. These perfectly placed black and white barrettes add a playful pop to a textured pony.

4. Baby Barettes
Not here for an ultra bold style? The stacking trend can be simplified for a more stripped down aesthetic. Go minimalist with just a few teeny gold accents along the side of the face.

5. Glitzy Clips
Go for a sparkly style with a set of matching rhinestone encrusted accessories. Cluster these clips for a retro-glam aesthetic.

6. Vertical Clips
While stacking accessories horizontally might be the most natural, placing these pins vertically can have a super sharp effect. Mix and match your metals for a uniquely bold 'do.

7. Alphabet Glam
Statement barrettes are all the rage right now. Incorporate some alphabet accents into a high pony for a boss take on the stacking trend.

Triple Threat
You don't need a whole handful of clips to rock this hot new style. Three glitzy pins are all you need to get your layering game on.

Wave Definition
Placement is key when it comes to rocking this multi-accessory style. Use your barrettes to define the waves in a polished 20s 'do. These glamorous pieces add an extra something special to a red carpet masterpiece.

10. Pearls
Pearls have been making waves in the accessory scene since late last year. Rock two trends at once with a chunky set of pearl clips and a polished top knot.
