E-girl hair, Adidas Superstars, bows, brat summer, fashion trends come and go, but some accessories are simply too good to leave behind. Enter the claw clip, once a staple of every ’90s It-girl, and now a must-have for the 2025 cool-girl uniform.
This summer, expect to see oversized clips paired with blazers, pearl-embellished claws for weddings, and sculptural minimalist designs for everyday chic. Whether you’re styling sleek hair or beachy waves, a claw clip is the accessory that instantly upgrades your look. And at Goldn Wares, we’re here for the comeback (and we’ve perfected it).
The Return of the Claw Clip
If you had a claw clip in your hair during the late ’90s or early 2000s, you were in good company. From Jennifer Aniston’s effortless twists on Friends to red carpet Y2K moments, claw clips were everywhere.
Fast-forward to 2025, and the trend has resurfaced, only sleeker, cleaner, stronger, and more fashion-forward than ever. Social media style mavens, celebrity hairstylists, and fashion editors all agree: the claw clip isn’t just back, it’s the accessory of the moment and one that also keeps your hair healthy, say less!
Why Everyone Loves Them Again
So why has the claw clip earned its crown again in 2025? Three words: style, ease, and comfort.
- Effortless chic: One quick twist, one clip, and you’re polished.
- Hair-friendly: Unlike elastics, they don’t tug, crease, or cause breakage.
- Versatility: From morning errands to black-tie weddings, there’s a claw clip for every outfit.
- Timeless appeal: It’s nostalgic but elevated, a nod to the ’90s with a modern upgrade.
Simply put: they’re practical and pretty, which is why they’ve outlasted the average trend cycle.
2025 Claw Clip Trends to Try
Oversized Statement Clips
Size does matter, and bigger is better this year, especially for the girls with thick, long hair, or even extensions! Oversized clips aren’t just functional, they’re fashion pieces in their own right. Picture a glossy tortoiseshell claw *cough cough* the maple curve clip paired with a sharp blazer and gold hoops. Instant power money move.
Beige & Neutral Tones
Muted, wearable tones are leading the way in 2025. Think dusty rose, sage green, and creamy beige, perfect for everyday styling that feels soft and sophisticated. If this is your vibe, our Lounge clip in Shell is going to be your go to! P.s. The Lounge Clip also comes in Small sizes, perfect for a half up half down, or the girls with shorter, finer hair.
Sculptural & Minimalist Clips
Sleek, modern, and almost architectural, minimalist claw clips are dominating the “quiet luxury” trend. Clean lines, neutral hues, and elevated shapes give even the messiest bun a polished finish.
Y2K-Inspired Sparkle
Pearls, rhinestones, and glittery finishes are making a playful comeback. Sparkly claw clips are no longer just for prom, they’re being spotted at weddings, events, and night-outs, adding just the right amount of glam. And with our new arrival being launched soon, be sure to keep your eye out for the cutest, attention grabbing clip! We think you'll love it ♥️
How to Style Claw Clips with Modern Outfits
The beauty of claw clips is how they transition seamlessly from casual to elevated looks:
- Workwear polish: Twist your hair into a sleek updo with a neutral clip, paired with a blazer and tailored trousers.
- Weekend vibes: Half-up half-down with an oversized clip, teamed with jeans and a relaxed tee.
- Date night glam: Go bold with a pearl-embellished clip and soft curls.
- Event-ready: A sculptural gold clip is the perfect finishing touch for an elegant dress.
Pro tip: Treat your claw clip like jewelry. Match the finish of your clip whether it's matte, glossy or metallic to your accessories for a cohesive look.
