Scrunchies. Yes.
Love them or hate them (and you'll love these), they. are. back.
Like it or not, the scrunchie is the latest '80s trend to officially return to fashion. Looking for proof? Just check out Balenciaga's Resort '18 show, where the always directional fashion house did $195 lambskin versions of the piece. Looking for more? Look to the mall or your Insta or.... Everyone from retailers like Urban Outfitters to hair queens like Jen Atkin are doin' it too. If you're ready to twist and twirl with us, keep scrolling for the best options on the market as we speak. Expect many more!
