Pirate bandana
In the women's wardrobe there are hundreds of accessories and jewelry. Hats, neck scarves, bags of different shapes and sizes, chokers, bracelets, beads, earrings, scarves, hoops, collars and so on and so forth. To take them on it and calm down, but no, they even appropriated to themselves a brutal men's bandanna. Well, what can you do? Persons of the weaker sex are so good that they look great even in things that were originally worn exclusively by men.
Today, pirate bandanas can be seen even on famous heads. Sexy Rihanna, romantic Kate Moss, beautiful Kylie Jenner, excellent Jenner Kendall, the unsurpassed Christina Aguilera. It seems that between these girls there is nothing in common except fame and success, but no - they are all ardent fans of pirate bandanas.
Acute bandanamania and seized simple ladies are not from such a high society. With bright pieces of fabric, girls decorate their heads mainly in the offseason, that is, when it is already so warm that you can refuse a warm hat, but it is still quite windy and you need to protect your ears from the cold.
They are tied to pirate bandanas and around their necks, as a stylish addition to a romantic or businesslike image, or are tied to their heads instead of a hoop. The most interesting thing is that girls with such an accessory look not at all defiant and rude, but very feminine and seductive. How did a bandana turn from a simple piece of fabric into a stylish accessory?
Pirate bandana and everything connected with it
It is rumored that the first bandanas were invented by the Spaniards, who sought to protect their heads from the scorching sun. Over time, the protective fabric element began to tie cowboys on the face to prevent sand and dust from entering the airways. They were worn, most often, on the neck, so that if necessary it was possible to quickly transport the fabric to the face. They wore headbands and simple horsemen.
But the real gang bang happened when an accessory migrated from the heads of ordinary working Spaniards, horsemen and cowboys to the heads of pirates. The fabric bandage has become a peculiar highlight, the calling card of sea robbers, making them recognizable all over the world. It was then that bandanas began to associate with free, brutal and at the same time romantic images.
At the present time, bandana is an unusually fashionable accessory and is used by people of different ages. It is worn not only on the head and neck, but also is tied around the jeans, like a belt, and also around the wrists, like bracelets. Tissue dressing has become an indispensable attribute of certain subcultures, as rock-like. Based on the foregoing, it can be understood that a bandana is a universal piece of fabric that can transform an image in different ways. The result of this transformation depends entirely on how the fabric will be knitted and how well it will be in harmony with other things.
How to tie a head, arm or neck
This is hard to believe, but there are at least ten different ways of tying bandanas on your head. Consider the most successful and trendy variations of this season:
- In the form of a scarf. In this case, the fabric segment will need to be folded with a triangle and tied at the back, hiding the knot under the hanging end of the fabric. Such an accessory will look great in a light summer look: with sundresses, denim shorts, shirts and blouses, as well as t-shirts, shirts and tops.
- In the form of a hoop. An excellent option for those who want to make the spring or summer look more original. A bandana, folded in the form of a ribbon and tied around the head, will not only remove disturbing curls from the face, but also give the image identity.You can pull the fabric bow, both at the back and front. Long sundresses and jeans are ideal for this accessory, as well as tunics and long shirts.
- The image of pirates. This is exactly what you can create by tying a bandana on your head like a handkerchief, but in such a way that the ends hang back. Ideal for a free sea look with a vest, linen shorts, slippers and wooden jewelry.
- Ponytail. A good option for a romantic image, which is ideal for young ladies with long hair. Hair just needs to be tied up in a high tail, using a thin elastic band, and then to tie it up with a cloth so that a bow or a flower is obtained.
The ways of tying bandanas on the neck are a little less, but they are not less original:
- Stylish cowboy. We fold the bandana in the form of a triangle and wrap it at the base. We wrap the long ends of the fabric around the neck, then cross and knot it. This accessory is in perfect harmony with everyday life.
- Elegant lady. In this case, the bandana is simply tied up with a bow around the neck, like an ordinary neck scarf. The perfect complement to an office blouse or a romantic blouse with a frank neckline.
- Free artist. This way of tying bandanas will appeal to those who love stylish and at the same time free images. The bandanna folded in a triangle should be wrapped around the neck, leaving the widest part of the fabric in sight. This accessory will be in perfect harmony with shirts, T-shirts, leggings and ankle boots.
On his hand bandanas are knitted in the form of a wristband. Usually this is done by adolescents and representatives of individual subcultures.
What hairstyle will do
If you want to tie a bandanna on your head, you will have to foresee everything: from accessories that are in harmony with fabric to hairstyles. In the second case, it is desirable to take into account several important nuances:
- Smooth and smoothly laid hair is the most universal hairstyle for a bandana. She will look good and fabric, tied in a pirated way, and the classic, and more original.
- Having picked up hair in a bunch on a nape you will create a good basis for a bandana which is tied around the head.
- Bandanas - hoops look good on girls with curly and short hair. The image is sultry and unusual.
- If you wear bangs, the bandana is best tied either in a pirated way, or in the form of a scarf. It is better to style your hair in such a way that it creates a feeling of slight disorder.
- But the Hollywood curls and other evening hairstyles with bandanas are not combined no matter how hard you try. Even famous designers create this type of accessory exclusively for light images.
The most interesting thing is that in order to purchase an original bandana it is not at all necessary to go to the store. This accessory can be easily made at home from a simple piece of fabric.
