Besides being an amazing movie “The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies,” has some fashion cues that we should tune into (and already do). The hobbits, dwarfs and elves know how to set some fashion trends.

Dark eyebrows and blonde hair? A pretty common trend. Honestly, Thranduil managed to keep his hair perfectly straight during battle and that alone is inspiring. Mind telling us your hair secrets, Thranduil?

Rings, uniform, coins and headpieces–there really isn’t anything that can’t be made beautiful with gold. Of course, we all know that  J.R.R. Tolkien’s center of “The Lord of the Rings” is the classic gold ring. Any gold touches you can make to your wardrobe is a definite must.

Gandalf had the best hat in the entire film. If you just push the point of the hat down, it makes the perfect floppy hat. This baby blue treaure was a good touch to Gandalf's outfit.

The dwarfs cerntainly have some style in their outfits and hairstyles. Kili and those thick eyebrows and perfectly disheveled hair are a sight to behold. Sounds like college students would embrace this trend of  stylishly messy hair.

Let's face it, the elves were the trendsetters in this film. The headpieces they bore were absolutely breathtaking. Wouldn't be suprised to see these beauts at Coachella next year. Could this be the new flower crown?

Isn't Orlando Bloom's tiny side braid absolutely adorable? This would be such a unique touch to any hairdo for school. It would be the perfect touch of "elf" to any outfit without going all out. Side note, how could anyone avoid Luke Evan's ponytail or "man bun"? Beware! Not everyone can pull the pulled back look. Sometimes it's just better to let your hair down.

They say red heads have no soul... Well, Tauriel gave a performance that was certain to pull on your heartstrings. The color of her hair was a refreshing touch of color among the blondes and burnettes of the film. If you are thinking about dying your hair, red will set you apart in any crowd.
