The bandana scarf is quickly becoming the most popular way to wear a scarf this summer. The lightweight material of the bandana makes it the perfect accessory for a day out in the heat. To attain this look, fold the scarf in half, corner to corner. Next lay the triangle on your chest with the point facing the floor, then wrap the other ends around your neck and tie.

As long as you stay away from western-style prints, like paisley, you will look chic, as opposed to on your way to a costume party. Also, do not wear the scarf straight front and back; once the bandana is securely tied, angle the point to add extra style and flair to your outfit and avoid any cowgirl comparisons.
