We’re calling it now: Headscarves are destined to be summer’s hottest trend. A look favored by Hollywood legends like Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot in the ’50s and ’60s, the chic accent has (re)made its way into the celebrity world over the past few months. For starters, at Paris Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2024 in March, Jennifer Lawrence sported a neutral silk iteration. Halle Bieber put her stamp on this year’s Coachella festival by layering a leopard print over a Fella baseball cap (a trick she took Rihanna’s Sartorial Playbook). And you best believe it will cause a domino effect. It’s only a matter of time before everyone starts adopting conversation starters.
Like a cotton headband or a ’90s-inspired claw clip, versatile hair accessories have unlimited styling potential. As these aforementioned celebrities prove, the piece is designed for a variety of locations, such as the cobbled streets of Paris or, alternatively, the desert. But what if your summer calendar includes a tropical, remote trip or a weekend trip to the winter countryside? A headscarf can easily translate into these outings as well. Bottom line: It’s about everyone How You choose the shape and style of the scarf you choose.
With that being said, below, we’re breaking down four different ways to wear a headscarf, depending on where you live (or plan to vacation this coming season).
Desert rose
The Coachella Extravaganza may be in the rearview mirror, but that doesn’t mean you can’t go on a quick trip to the desert — maybe Joshua Tree? – This summer. Whether you’re working up a sweat on a hike or camping with friends, the of-the-moment accent is a stylish way to work into your outdoor getup. Since the forecast will most likely be hot, hot, hot, try pairing the breathable cotton version with a light linen top and leg-baring short shorts.
Beach Baby
A printed headscarf and a beach holiday go together like bread and butter. If your itinerary includes sightseeing around the city, the accent will definitely complement your elegant outfit. For an all-over look, consider teaming a colorful dress, like the cut-out Jade Swim number below, with a patterned scarf (we’d recommend the pique style). Round out the look with a raffia tote, bold sunglasses, and sporty sandals.
City Gal
When you’re hopping from appointment to appointment during your 9-to-5 gig, practicality usually takes precedence. So, whenever your casual shoes and wide-leg trouser combo warrants a ladylike, dress-up touch, look no further than a chic headscarf. For example, a silky vintage iteration makes any casual ensemble 10x more sophisticated (honestly, no one will probably notice your sporty kicks).
Country Darling
A day (or week) in the countryside calls for an equestrian look, like your trusty riding boots tucked into a pair of straight-leg jeans. On the accessories front, a long linen or cotton scarf will look great when blowing in the wind. Finally, ditch a large tote in favor of a belt bag to ensure you can document your natural surroundings. (Rolling through the images is optional, but highly recommended.)
