Priced under $60, the piece is way more affordable but equally as striking. While minimalism has ruled the runway for the past few seasons, the fashion industry's return to fantasy and opulence is in full effect. This floral headband is displayed in a red and black palette and features [fabric orchids which are intricately handcrafted](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/handcrafted-flower-crown). The statement piece may not be practical for everyday but is a great accessory for parties, gallery openings or garden weddings.
