A humble accessory makes runway waves.
Reacquaint yourself with the square scarf, the accessory seen everywhere—rivaling “it” shoes and bags at fashion weeks and becoming the new shorthand for style fluency, even. It’s a tale (er, style) as old as time: Bandanas and scarfs were sported by Old Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn circa the ’50s and ’60s, and their versatility lives on today—with styling ranging from “la dolce vita” to “yeehaw.” Here’s how to wear the cult buy and where to find it locally.

The Grace Kelly:
Go full babushka and secure with a knot under your chin. Add sunnies for full effect.
Get waisted:
Lose the belt and tie around your waist over jeans or a dress. Pro tip: Stay away from red scarfs to avoid giving ~pirate~.

The flight attendant:
For class and sass, fold and loop around your neck.
Gone hiking:
Push your hair back and tie at the base of your head. Too casual? Add tiny hoop earrings to peak out from underneath.
The Prison Mike:
Wrap around your head and tie in the back like a hat. Yes, you can pull it off.
Bag decor:
Loop around a purse strap—looks cute, plus very helpful in the event of a bad hair day.
