Street Style Guide: Mastering the Handkerchief Trend

August 22, 2026Carlos Mendoza1 мин

The handkerchief, or bandana, is making a significant comeback this summer, bolstered by endorsements from style icons like Dua Lipa, Zendaya, and Gigi Hadid. While these celebrities have popularized the accessory, the current iteration of the trend truly gained traction during the Spring 2026 ready-to-wear fashion shows, not on the runways themselves, but among the fashion-forward attendees.

During these events, a notable trend emerged: attendees adorning their heads with small, stylish scarves. For instance, Rosalía was seen at the Calvin Klein show sporting a classic navy blue printed bandana. Beyond that, many others outside the shows were observed topping off their outfits with dainty headscarves. This trend continued in Copenhagen, where showgoers embraced the scarf-as-hat style, featuring both solid colors and unique prints. To illustrate this growing movement, we've curated a collection of our favorite handkerchief headwear spotted on the streets during Fashion Week.

Below are our top picks for handkerchief looks as captured by street style photographers.
