Silk Scarves, Bandanas & Hair Scarves: How to Wear Them in Hair, on Bags & as Neck Scarves
20
items Ten minutes before the reservation, hair is not cooperating, so a square of silk gets folded into a headband, a skinny twilly goes on the tote handle, and the outfit suddenly looks planned. These silk scarves, bandanas, hair scarves and scarf rings f...
This is the big one, and it earns the price tag because it does three jobs: folded into a triangle at the neck, knotted over a ponytail, or tied as a sarong over a swimsuit. The silk has a real shine that makes a plain tee look dressed up. I reach fo...
Madewell Oversized Silk Bandana
A scrunchie with a little scarf tail attached solves the problem of wanting a pretty ponytail without actually tying a scarf. Wrap it twice, let the tail swing, and a messy bun looks styled in about five seconds. The blush and mauve pair is soft enou...
Kitsch Satin Scarf Scrunchies
A scarf ring is the trick that stops a neck bandana from looking like a costume. You thread the two corners through the brass slide and it sits clean at the collarbone with no knot bulk. This one is solid brass, made for bandanas and silk squares, so...
Etsy Thistle Bandana Ring
The skinny format is the most flexible shape in the whole category. Knot it around a tote handle, loop it through belt loops, or tie a bow at the base of a braid. The floral print is soft enough for everyday wear, and at about $28 it is an easy first...
Free People Tilly Skinny Silk Convertible Scarf
Classic paisley in deep indigo goes with every denim wash I own. Cotton grips hair better than silk, so this is the one I tie into a headband on weekend errands or fold into a triangle for a casual neck scarf. At $18 it is also the version you can to...
Madewell Organic Cotton Bandana
The woven brocade texture makes this feel more like jewelry for your hair than a plain ribbon. Tie it around a low ponytail or thread it through a braid for a dinner out. It adds a little polish to hair that has not been washed, which is its most val...
Free People Silk Brocade Hair Scarf
Wrapping a purse handle in silk is the quickest way to make an old bag look new. This braided twilly is 45 inches long, enough to wind the full handle and leave a tail, or to pull through hair as a ribbon. It protects the handle from wear and adds a ...
Etsy Braided Silk Scarf Bag Charm
A kerchief knotted loosely at the neck is the easiest way to look like you have an effortless French wardrobe. Anthropologie prints tend to look hand-drawn, so this works over a white tee or a plain crew sweater. I fold it into a triangle, tie it to ...
Anthropologie Silk Bandana Kerchief Scarf
The medium size is the sweet spot for most people: big enough to fold into a headband, small enough to tie flat at the neck without drowning in fabric. The purple stripes read as modern, not vintage. Use it knotted onto a tote handle when you have no...
Madewell Medium Silk Bandana
The Alémais print is bold and painterly, which means a plain ponytail instantly looks designed. Tie it low and let the ends fall over a shoulder, or wrap the band around a topknot. It is a pricier pick, but one scarf worn regularly beats five that si...
Anthropologie ALÉMAIS Sidi Silk Hair Scarf
Think of this as the skinny scarf you can tie anywhere: around the neck under a collar, through a belt loop, or knotted on a bag handle. At 44 inches by 4.5, it has enough length for a bow. The dark coffee shade goes with black, navy and denim withou...
Madewell Silk Twill Tie
The elastic band is what makes this a no-fuss bandana: pull it on, tie the ends into a bow, and it stays put through errands, the gym, or a walk with the dogs. Leopard reads as a neutral with almost any outfit. At $14, it is the budget way to try the...
Kitsch Eco-Friendly Elasticized Hair Scarf, Leopard
The 35 inch square is the original scarf size, big enough for a classic neck knot, a head wrap in the car with the windows down, or a bag tie. I like a floral for a plain navy dress. Etsy sellers carry beautiful prints you will not see on every other...
Etsy 35 Inch Silk Square Scarf, Floral L'amour
The classic bandana print in silk feels softer than the cotton version and drapes better at the neck. Tie it to a bag strap, wrap it around a ponytail, or knot it at the neck over a button-down. It is the piece I toss in a tote for a flight when the ...
Free People So Silk Printed Bandana
At 33 inches by 2, this is basically a ribbon, and that is the point. It ties into a headband in one pass, wraps a ponytail twice, or makes a bracelet. It is the cheapest scarf here at around ten dollars on sale, so pick a color you would not otherwi...
Madewell Silk Skinny Bandana
The bamboo fabric is truly soft, which matters when a headband sits on your head for hours. It ties as a headband, a top knot wrap, a hair scarf, or a bow on a braid, so one purchase gives you four looks. It is also my pick for workouts when a scarf ...
Free People Soulvation Butter Soft Tie Headband
A large silk square like this one is a wardrobe multiplier. Fold it as a neck scarf with a trench, tie it as a head wrap on a bad hair day, or knot it to a handbag. The print is the star, so keep the rest of the outfit simple and let it do the talkin...
By Anthropologie Large Printed Silk Scarf
The antique finish gives a plain bandana a western-meets-vintage feel without any sewing. Slide the ring up to hold the two ends together and the neck scarf stays centered for the whole day. I like having one in a drawer so I never wrestle with a lop...
Etsy Vintage Style Bandana Ring
The satin charmeuse protects hair from friction overnight, but this is cute enough to wear tied up as a daytime headscarf, too. Blush is soft and neutral enough to match everything. For the price, it is the best of both worlds between a sleep accesso...
Kitsch Multi-Way Satin Sleep Scarf, Blush
This multi-wear piece works as a headband, a hair tie, a wrist wrap, or a hat band, so it earns its tiny size in a travel bag. Slide it on as a stretchy headband when hair needs to stay back, and push it up for a bandana look when you want a softer s...
