The Old-Fashioned Way

Fold your bandanna in half so that the ends meet, then tie it around your neck.

Tucked In

Fold you bandanna like how you usually would, but this time, tuck it in rather than let it hang out, adding a little pop of color without drawing too much attention.

As a Headband

Wearing a bandanna as a headband is a great look for the Summer. Roll it up, then tie it together at the top of your head. You may even want to move the knot to the side, creating a more playful look.

As a Neck Scarf

To add some feminine flair to your outfit, roll your bandanna and knot it in the front like you would a neck scarf.

Around Your Wrist

Rather than rocking a statement cuff or bangles, go with something unexpected. Wearing a bandanna around your wrist — or even ankle — makes a statement in a casual way.
