Head scarfs: A chic look to beat the summer heat

We’ve all seen them. The women about town lounging by the beach or walking about town with a beautiful Hermes scarf tied just so. If you ever wanted to steal the look, here are two step-by-step tips for hippy-chic or classic icon versions.

Look 1: Use a square scarf in a bright color or pattern. Skip white and beige to avoid the bandage look. Work this style with your hair down, but do not tuck it behind your ears.

1. Fold the scarf in half so it forms a triangle.
2. Place the long side on your forehead, about an inch below your hairline, and tie it straight back.
3. Tuck the back and sides of the scarf under so it completely covers the top of your head.

Look 2: This version works best with a bun or ponytail.

1. Fold one side of the scarf two-thirds of the way over and bring the other edge to the middle, so the final rectangle is six inches wide.
2. Hold the scarf so the fold is facing down and place it an inch in front of your hairline.
3. Tie it off at the base of your neck. The scarf should cover your ears completely.

Awww….the perfect way to banish a bad hair day.
