How to fold a bandana:
– Place the headscarf on a flat surface with one corner facing you.
– Fold the square cloth into a triangle.
– Take the top corner and fold it down over the rest.
– You can make this section wider or narrower depending on how wide you want your scarf (or headband) to be.
– Continue folding along the width until you reach the folded area of the triangle. This is how a long ribbon is made from the cloth.
For a cowboy look: place in a triangle at the front and knot at the back of the neck.
Wear around your neck
A bandana can either add some color to your outfit or complete it beautifully. A red scarf, for example, combined with an outfit in black or gray will be a real eye-catcher. A dark blue piece can also be combined well with a light blue shirt.
Around the head
Whether you're having a bad hair day or just want to spice up a boring hairstyle, a bandana is a real style miracle. Place the center of the folded scarf in the middle of your hairline and wrap the band around your head. Tie the headband with a loose knot at the back of your head.
Hairstyles with bandanas
For medium-length and long hair, a scarf not only looks better, but also proves to be a particularly practical accessory. Harry Styles, for example, uses the scarf as a headband to tame his long mane and keep his hair out of his face. In the video for the song “I'm the one,” however, Justin Bieber shows that bandanas also go well with buzz cuts and short hair. So hair length is not of crucial importance.
More ideas:
– For a subtle accent, tie your bandana around your ankle.
– Wear the fine handkerchief as a pocket square in your jacket.
– Casually, the bandana can also be combined with a hat, like Bruno Mars in his video for the song “Uptown Funk”.
– Wrapped around the wrist as a bracelet, the colorfully patterned scarf also looks very chic.
– If long enough, you can use the scarf as a belt.
