The most popular and well known style of square scarf is probably the traditional bandana. Made popular by cowboys in the 1800’s and of course on 1950’s and ‘60’s television westerns, the bandana served many useful purposes, however, they weren’t always made in the patterns, colors and prints that they are popular known for now. One of the most popular uses for the bandana was as a kerchief. This is a style that has carried over to other fabrics and patterns. A kerchief was made popular by such shows as ‘I love Lucy’. Most often known as a triangular shaped hat that was worn over curlers while a woman’s hair is setting, the kerchief is a great way to wear your square scarf while running errands, cleaning the house, or even to hold your hair back while sunning at the beach or pool.
There are many other ways to accessorize with a square scarf besides as a kerchief. Another great way is as a choker. Simply take one of your favorite scarves and fold one of them into a triangle. Next, roll it up into a long cylinder, wrap once loosely around your neck, and tie on the side of your neck. You now have a beautiful choker-style necklace that can also be used in other ways. This look is great to wear with little black dresses, white button downs, as well as suits. Your favorite square scarf has even more ways to be worn.
