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.

We won’t lie – the above headbands worn by the royal are by no means within our price range.
But lucky for us, the tried and true hair styling staple comes in many different variations – and some are as cheap as $5.
