Some are bandanas, some are scarves. I wear one around my neck almost everyday from late October till late April. They are right overtop of my turtleneck! My neck is always cold, so they are not really a fashion statement, but rather a necessity.

Like I said on the other thread, I wear it like a headband with bunny ears on top... mostly around the house or running around on weekends. I don't wear it thick.. I twist it so it's thin.

I don't wear them around my neck or wrist or anything else. It's just a way to keep my very fine hair out of my eyes when I am bending over or off my neck when it's hot.

Pretty much like this but my hair is much shorter,

When I first started at my current high school bandannas were banned "gang colors" not allowed. They dropped out of favor. They seem to be having a come back and no one is paying attention.

The spring Sundance catalog arrived a few days ago and there were several bandanas/scarves featured along with some beautiful dresses.

I don't wear bandanas or scarves in my hair, although I do have headbands I wear when running or out walking. Bandanas are a cute look though and you have me thinking of trying one with the short hair now.

Lately I've been perusing scarves online. Looks like the neckerchief we wore in the 70s is coming back into fashion.

As for longer scarves, I've become a bit obsessed by Burberry but cannot for the life of me determine why something like this is priced at $400. Absurd.

I wear scarfs a lot. They are great when it's colder weather here. Especially at work, when I have no idea how cool or warm our offices are going to be . I have a few cool ones I like. Some are circle scarfs, some are longer scarfs.

Some of my favorites:

spider web circle scarf

Ruth Bader Ginsburg scarf

I guess I think of what we used to call neckerchieves as neck scarves. I don't wear them. I do wear scarves a fair amount.

Thank you, Maire-cate for the link to Sundance. I don't generally like the traditional bandana patter (though I have one in pale pink and one in light blue that I use when washing my face!) Normal headbands don't hold my baby fine hair well.. but for whatever reason, the bandanas do a better job of it. (but I would never wear them if I was trying to look pulled together-- for me it's the equivalent of just pulling my hair back quickly)

Ida, I also love burberry scarves-- I don't have one but I should! I am pretty sure it is the price holding me back also.

Just bought this scarf on Mercari for $6.50:

Close enough to this $390 Burberry to scratch the itch for now. ;)

Oh, and here it is on Poshmark.

I wear them a lot, particularly in the summer. They can keep my hair out of my face when I am doing hot and sweaty work, and all kinds of uses when you are working outside. I wear the big cotton ones, they are not tight around my neck. You can even soak them in water and wring them out and they are cooling.

Funky, I'd love to wear them as a head band, but even with a regular elastic headband, the back of it always rises up just a bit and it makes that area of my hair look wonky.

And Funky, in the link I posted you can see many other patterns instead of the classic patterns which I'm going to buy for outdoor gardening only. I won't pay a lot of money for a bandana/scarf unless I was getting dressed up for a special occasion. The one's I'm interested in are for casual wear, even if they're made of silk.

When hanging out at the house all day I want to look nice even if I'm in shorts and a tee. Making a knot with a bandana around my pony tail (hair is just below shoulders) I know I will look hot from the backside. lol

Pink that's how I used to use the bandanas with the classic pattern, but I never thought to rinse them to keep me cool. I'd run in the house and get a wet wash cloth and boy do they stain with sweat and dirt.

Ida, I love your scarf. I refuse to pay top dollar for Burberry when they seem to have only one pattern. There's simply nothing noticeable about it anymore except knowing how much money the wearer paid. I still like them though.

Yesterday I trimmed a lot of branches from trees, cut them up so they'd lay nicely in the dumpster and came inside sweating like crazy. I could have used a scarf yesterday. Today is an inside day because of the cold front.

Humidity season is fastly approaching.

I love scarves, I have periods when I wear them a lot, and periods I wear them less..some are more like neckerchiefs indeed, some are bigger and longer, I have favorites obviously(the ones I chose myself, that is)). I have a shawl too. I try not to spend money on them, so I try not to buy more, but I'm perusing them sometimes. I love looking at them. Sometimes I'm almost about to buy another scarf, and then I stop myself. Well right now I'm in a saviing mode, so it's easy to do too. But I really love all sorts of things for the neck. Be it scarves or interesting collars or chockers..Doesn't mean I get them, but does mean I check them out.

April, I've been looking at Amazon again and they have so many different patterns, material, and lengths to choose from at low prices. One thing I noticed is they have handkerchiefs included which would be great for a bandana/scarf.

I'm thinking about ordering this pair but I'm stumped as to why they're called neckerchiefs. They don't come pre-rolled or tied. I don't get it.

Amazon is like a gold mine having so many bandanas/scarves/handkerchiefs/neckerchiefs/pursekerchiefs, you name it. :)

Oakley, those wouldn't work for me because they are described as "silky" and made from polyester. I believe you said you have fine hair as well? They'd slip right off on me.

Ded, I will be giggling all night!

I have one of the Terrain bandanas and like it very much. Don't wear it often but sometimes around the house, I will wear it like Funky showed or tie it around a casual bag handle. I love the block prints and they are very soft. It will be perfect to use as Ded suggests!!

I don’t wear bandanas exactly but I do like to wear Buff stretchy headbands when I want to get my fine, flyaway hair out of my face. They can be scrunched up like a headband or worn different ways over your hair. I do wear scarves when it’s cold, although nothing very thick and heavy.

My sweet DD brought me a beautiful Louis Vuitton scarf from Paris last summer that I can wear as a neckerchief, and I have actually enjoyed wearing it that way. Never thought I would but I do.

Erin Napier (from the HGTV show Home Town) often wears a rolled up bandana as a headband. It appeals to me because headbands give me a headache after awhile.

Erin's website has these headbands for sale that look like rolled bandanas. They're cute!

I remember as a teen or preteen wearing bandanas as hairbands. Not now though. For gardening, outside chores, I always wear a sun visor as it holds my hair back and protects my face both. I don't like something right up around my neck, so no "neckerchiefs" or neck scarves for me. I wear longer ones, infinity scarves, etc. but not as much as I did a few years ago. I would not wear a scarf in my hair or on my purse. Ida, that is a STEAL on that scarf! Those are not my colors but I would wear the pink burberry plaid!

I love the look of the bandanas as headbands, but how do you keep them on your head? I think I have a faulty sized noggin because everything always slides off. My poor dd suffers the same affliction.
