A Bandana is a triangular or square piece of cloth tied around the head, or neck for protective or decorative purposes.
Bandanas originated in India as bright-colored handkerchiefs of silk and cotton with spots in white on colored grounds, chiefly red and blue.
The silk styles were made of the finest quality yarns and were popular.
Bandanas are one of the most versatile possessions in our wardrobes.
No matter what you're wearing, this piece always adds an interesting flair to your outfit.
Are you curious as to how you can incorporate a bandana into your look?
Here are a number of stylish ways to wear the decorative piece of cloth.
Add it to a Bag
Adding a bandana to your bag gives it a personal touch.
It helps transform old, basic pieces into something new and improved.
Knotted and to the side
If you're looking to add some glamour to your look, simply roll the bandana to create one long strand and tie a knot around your neck then shift it to one side.
As a Classic Neck Scarf
The easiest way to style an average-sized or extra large bandana is by folding it into half to resemble a triangle.
Wrap it around your neck and tie a knot at the back, creating a quick casual statement.
Sailor Style
Knot your bandana around your neck and let the two ends hang loose in front, giving off a sailor vibe.
You can also make your look more eye-catching by picking a color that provides a bit of contrast to your outfit.
As a Headscarf
Playing around with a bandana is a great way to switch up your hairstyle.
Simply tie the bandana around your head, knot it under or over your hair, and wear it like a headscarf.
Looped Around Like a Belt
Don't have a belt to go with your outfit? Worry no more.
A bandana provides the same support while adding something fun and unexpected to your outfit.
As a Bracelet
If you need a fresh new twist in your outfit, try tying a bandana around your wrist.
