The "Close to You" singer has made the bandana her recent signature, and we cannot get enough of it. Here's how to style headwear's latest trend.

Bandanas are truly one of the most versatile pieces around. The classic piece can be easily styled around the neck, worn as a top, or attached to a handbag. But most of all, bandanas are a headwear staple, and it girls from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/gracie-abrams-paul-mescal-dating-glastonbury-festival-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gracie Abrams</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexa-chung-s-style-evolution" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexa Chung</a> have proven that they are this summer's hottest style.
The resurgence of wearing scarves and bandanas on our heads is a definite nod to the early 2000s, when pop stars like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/christina-aguilera-versace-fall-2003-corset-dress-history" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christina Aguilera</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/beyonce-jay-z-louis-vuitton-mens-spring-summer-2026-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Beyonc&eacute;</a> championed the look. The popular look was made up of low-rise, figure-hugging jeans and crop tops paired with a plethora of bandanas and headscarves. Bandanas have been a bona fide staple when leaning into an Americana look or tying one over the head for the babushka-inspired vibe. But as Abrams has proved this summer, the right bandana can complete any outfit without feeling a tad costume-like.
The 25-year-old singer recently rocked a crimson bandana, pairing it with a Rodarte dress of the same color on stage at Glastonbury. The long, ruffled chiffon dress she paired with her bandana is not a quickly made pairing, but they end up complementing each other so effortlessly. A good bandana brings just the right amount of laid-back, no-frills energy to an outfit. And let's face it, bandanas have long been used for their utilitarian purpose of keeping sweat out of one's face. Thus, they really are the perfect accessory for the scorching summer months.&nbsp;

This year's Glastonbury was a big one for the bandana, and even more so for Abrams. The singer hard launched her relationship with the Normal People&nbsp;star, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/paul-mescal-tattoos-gucci-cruise-2026-front-row" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Paul Mescal</a>, with a selfie of the two at the festival shown above. She danced on his shoulders during <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/olivia-rodrigo-boyfriend-louis-partridge-dating-relationship-timeline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Olivia Rodrigo's</a> performance and did the famous "Apple" dance on the big screen, clad in Adidas track pants, and you guessed it: her blue bandana. The young artist has truly proven that the right bandana can complete any outfit, whether casual or dressy. As true fashion addicts, we can't decide what's cuter, her relationship with Mescal or the way she rocks a good bandana.
Long-time trendsetter, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexa-chung-french-girl-style-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexa Chung</a>, also recently gifted us with some bandana inspiration during her summer vacation in Positano. The model was serving Dolce Vita energy as she tied her bandana over her head while on a boat off the coast. She proved that summer's favorite accessory will always remain the chicest way to guard one's hair from the wind.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Miu Miu has nailed the classic poplin bandana for the summer. Their designs come in navy, ivory, white, and amaranth red. These cotton bandanas combine the classic paisley pattern with the Miu Miu aesthetic, with the logo gracing the corner of the scarf.

This silk bandana is from the New York-based brand Lost Pattern. The brand has been working to redefine silks with its designs. This checkered bandana scarf is a less traditional option than the paisley-patterned designs, but it remains exciting with its checkered print. The scarf comes in blue, coffee, and green, and is perfect for sprucing up any look this summer.&nbsp;
