When it comes to Kate Middleton, there’s no denying the perfection in her countless flawless, finished looks.
As a royal style icon, it would be safe to say Kate has a bit of a cult following when it comes to her fashion choices, despite some being a little beyond our budgets.
That being said, there’s one particular fashion trend we’ve been seeing her don a lot more of lately, and it’s one that the masses can wholeheartedly embrace, without spending a fortune.

The latest in her string of on-trend accessories is the humble headband – yet another nostalgic staple that has us reminiscent of our school days.

And before you ask, yes, Kate already brought back the hair ribbon with a flourish late last year.
This time around, her headband style is simple.
Sitting atop her perfectly primped tresses, Kate generally opts for a more voluminous look when it comes to the accessory, with bands that are either big or high.
