Gothic

Bandanas are frequently seen throughout the gothic subculture. They are worn as a normal bandana, rolled for the ladies or even as neckwear. Patterns on bandanas for the gothic community are vast. From skulls and flames to bikes and band logos, the average Goth is spoilt for choice when it comes to this type of accessory. Even just plain black or red bandanas are acceptable in this subculture.

Vintage
One of the original bandana influences for vintage junkies came from ‘Rosie the Riveter’. With her powerful message to women everywhere on being strong and sticking together, the bandana headwear became a fashion essential in the vintage scene. Worn just like Rosie or rolled and tied, any lady can achieve the vintage look. This style of bandana can include such as paisley, floral, polka dots and even animal print.

Bandana Swag Style

The swag image sees bandanas more as an included garment pattern than an actual accessory. However this is never limited. Jeans, dungarees, jackets and t-shirts can all have bandana styling for both ladies and guys. This does not mean however that they cannot be worn as neck or headwear. Black and white is a typical colour combination for swag style and this is commonly seen with bandanas also.

Bandanas as a Summer Accessory

Although not only limited to summer, bandanas are a very common accessory for most outfits all year round. They are fantastic for adding splashes of colour to any outfit regarding colours do at least match or contrast well. They are also a great lightweight item which can be a replacement for the far more weighty and bulky hat. Versatile for any image, bandanas have the upper hand in clothing as the opportunities and ways to wear them is completely endless.
