Classic Bandana

If you prefer not hopping on a trend bandwagon, but still want to try out the neckerchief, this option might just be for you. Because this neckerchief is in a traditional bandana print, and because it’s in black and white, it is guaranteed to bring a cool atmosphere to any ensemble.

Striped

The great thing about neckerchiefs is that you don’t necessarily have to wear them around your neck. This dark blue striped version would look just as good around your neck as it would tied to your bag or even in your hair.

Floral

It’s hard to go wrong with floral, especially when it’s this pretty. So embrace the floral patterns of spring and summer, and pair this neckerchief with a basic white t-shirt or even a pair of fancy culottes.

Embroidered

Sometimes subtle is best, and that is exemplified in this scarf. Going all out with a trend can sometimes result in regret, but you’ll never regret this off-white scarf with blended in embroidery.

Just in time for Independence Day. A printed scarf is always fun, and it’s even more relevant when it’s also celebratory. But this star print would look good any time of the year.
