Instagram is a treasure trove for niche fashion interests – it seems no matter how micro the trend, there will be an account dedicated to hunting out the best, most inspirational images to a dedicated audience. Current fashion industry favourite is At a clip, set up by British fashion journalist Tilly Macalister-Smith to collate a veritable treasure trove of hair jewellery, focusing on clips, hair pins and barettes – with the odd oversized bow thrown in for good measure.

And while there's certainly a sense of polish to many of the best clipped looks – case in point Chanel's pearl clip from AW19, just one of many hair accessories seen in Karl Lagerfeld's last show – opting for a more diffused look has the sort of London cool-girl vibe that we all secretly want to achieve. Choose from pretty or punkish crystal-embellished clips and sleek tortoiseshell slides, or give mermaid hair a 2019 update with seashell inspired crocodile clips.
