Every Single Way to Wear a Bandana

While the average scarf does a lot of heavy lifting in fall and winter, we strongly feel that there’s a place in all our wardrobes for the bandana, too, especially in the warmer months. The little accessory makes a bold statement, and it can be worn anywhere from your head to your neck to your wrist. Think of it as the perfect addition for when your outfit just needs a hint more thoughtfulness. Not only that, but it's ultra-accessible (you probably already have one in your closet), yet it comes in luxe versions as well, for those looking to invest in a designer style. Simply see below for 13 ways to wear the bandana this season, and then to shop our favorites starting at just $4.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
