Bandanas or scarves are a great fashion statement in their might, and these serve that purpose quite well. You can tie your Bandana in many ways, and just as many ways you can use or wear it.
Besides, it differs from what you would never have used a scarf before. Here, we are particularly talking about how you can use those even better.
Follow the techniques that are mentioned below, and make the best out of your clothing or fashion sense.
Different ways in which you can wear your Bandana
There are many ways to wear your scarf, and below are some that will help you make those an important part of your personality and perception.
Desperado
Lay and straighten the scarf on a plane surface, and then overlay one of the ends of the scarf over the end that is diagonally opposite to it. Hold the Bandana with the two ends of the longest side of the triangular-folded cloth. Knot the Bandana over the nape of your neck twice in a loose grip, and the floating end of the Bandana should be over your mid-chest. You are more than likely to see people bandanas in this fashion during summer.
Double-Laced Choker
Similar to the instructions above, fold the Bandana into a triangular shape. Lay the scarf down on a plane surface, now fold the scarf from the longest side towards the opposite edge in multiple folds till a 2 to 3 inches wide, but long strand of the scarf is formed. Wrap the Bandana around your neck, from front to back, and wrap it back to the front part of the neck, and make a knot there. You can see this kind of bandanas or formally colored ones around the necks of waiters or hospitality staff in motels.
Necklace
Fold the scarf to a 2-inch wide and long strand of cloth, just like mentioned above. Hold it with both hands, and place it on the nape of your neck. Bring both ends of the scarf towards one side of your chest, and make a loose knot for comfort.
Audrey
This technique of wearing a bandana is quite similar to wearing it like a necklace, but only with a couple of adjustments. For this technique, the method of folding the scarf stays the same, and the same is for tying it. Just ensure that when tying the Bandana, it should not be too loose, and make two knots over the ends instead of a single one.
The stewards and air hostesses in airplanes mostly use this technique to tie their bandanas, whether as a part of formal clothing or for informal.
Bandana Headband
Fold the Bandana to a triangular shape. Then, fold the loose edge towards the largest length of the triangle, and do that again. Place the Bandana at the back of your head, right above your neck, and make the knot with the loose ends just over your forehead. You can adjust the grip and width of the Bandana as per your comfort.
Pirate Bandana
Fold the scarf to a triangular shape, and place it right over your head so that you are gripping the ends of the longest side of the triangle and the loose ends are over your head. After proper adjustment, tie the knot on the back of your head such that the ends overlap the loose part of the Bandana. Ensure that when tying your Bandana like this, it is always below the hairline or will just come loose.
Riveter Bandana
This technique of tying a bandana is quite the opposite of how you tie a pirate bandana. You fold the Bandana the same way; just the loose part of the Bandana is on the front part of the head, and the part you hold is over the back, and the knots are made over the front. Similar to the previous style, the loose part of the Bandana is covered with the knot to keep it fixated over the head.
Biker Headband
Fold the Bandana to a standard triangular shape for this kind of bandana cover. Now, take the longest length of the Bandana and place it right over your hairline. Let the loose end flutter on the back of the head. For this technique, the knot is made right above the nape of the neck underneath all the hair. People usually use this kind of bandana cover under the helmet to not damage their hair in any manner and to keep it organized.
Classic Bandana Tie
Make a triangular shape with your Bandana by folding it along the opposite corners. Now, hold the Bandana with the longest side of the triangle, place it on the back of your neck, and make multiple knots of the ends of the Bandana in front of your neck. While tying the Bandana, make sure that the Bandana is decently tight and that there is no fluttering or loose tie left in front of your neck.
Around Your Face
Tying a bandana is quite similar to a classical bandana tie. Fold your Bandana into a triangular shape, and level the longest side of the triangle right under your eyes with an in-between gap of one and a half inches. Tie the ends of the Bandana on the back of your head, going across your ears for a better tie.
Around Your Thigh, Ankle, or Wrist
Fold your Bandana to a triangle shape, then lay it down over a flat surface. Now, roll the loose end of the Bandana towards the largest length by folding it over itself multiple times. Or, lessen the size of the Bandana by simply wringing it oddly from the middle of the Bandana.
Then, double knots tie the Bandana over your wrist or ankle. At the same time, only the first of the two methods is better suited if you want to tie the Bandana over your thigh.
