This interesting wardrobe item appeared in the fashionable life of our country relatively recently, but very quickly gained immense popularity, supporters and even fan clubs. We are talking about a small rectangular piece of fabric - a stylish and bright bandana, always comfortable, in most cases appropriate and successfully combined with almost any clothing.
Many women do not even suspect how original and extravagant they can become, using an item such as a bandana on his head or a bandana bandage. Such a thing, made of wool, cotton, silk, ordinary synthetics or even leather, is able to complement any image, complete it and give a certain zest, so bandanas are not disregarded even by stylists who seek to complement and improve them.
In the new season, these dressings will be very fashionable and relevant. You can use them to diversify a strict office style - a plain bandana made of noble material, tied to the neck, will look not only beautiful, but also very feminine, elegant, which will allow its owner not to go unnoticed. Such an element of clothing will be appropriate in your free time - a colorful bandana on your head, decorated with the image or name of your favorite musical group, will become the main decoration of the girl at a party or concert. And even if the representative of the fair sex considers it inappropriate to supplement her wardrobe with such a thing, she should experiment on her own with some ways to use it (how to tie a bandana, for example, instead of a hairpin or elastic band for hair), and she will not be able to refuse such charms.
This element of the wardrobe can be as different as its owner dared and originally - dressings are plain and multicolored, with oriental, floral, abstract patterns, ornaments, inscriptions, prints and logos. Just imagining the whole variety of bandanas, it is hard to believe that in its historical significance this object was extremely functional and did not claim to be part of the decoration of its appearance. The bandana was first tied to the head by Spanish shepherds - and not on the hair, as is customary in most cases in the modern world, but on the neck, so that, if necessary, cover the face from dusty winds. In the East, such a bandage is still used to protect the back of the head from the ruthless rays of the sun, and American cowboys use them following the example of the Spaniards, since they also need protection from dust clouds raised by livestock hooves.
Modern bandanas, unlike their ancestors, have lost utilitarianism almost completely (unless, of course, we are talking about replacing elastic bands for hair or hairpins). Instead, they became a bright accessory - knotted at the back of the head or elegantly tied in the shape of a scarf, tucked into belt loops on jeans or wrapped around the waist, fluttering from the wrists or used as a neckerchief. A bandana is capable of telling the whole world about the preferences and views of its owner, since it often hosts logos and emblems of music groups, sports clubs or companies. The so-called “informals” wear this piece of clothing with their own symbols - slogans or portraits of idols, and a leather bandana has long been one of the traditional accessories of bikers.
And even someone who does not belong to the above fans of this comfortable and stylish headband can appreciate its other attractiveness. For example, a bandana made of wool or any other dense material will not only look pretty, but also warm in the cool season, and a thin silk piece of fabric will be a great addition to old jeans, giving them a new life.
