Silk, lace and crochet scarves are the hottest hair trend this season
"[Invest in] a summery feel as the weather warms up"
The resurrection of hair scarves and bandanas has been our favourite hair trend to emerge from the northern hemisphere's street style in the warmer months, because of how versatile the trend is, regardless of your hair type or style inclinations.
"Scarves have long been a style staple, with luxury fashion houses like Hermès, Dior, and Gucci reintroducing them in modern collections," The Iconic's Head Of Style, Nicole Adolphe, tells BEAUTYcrew.
"What began as a runway and A-list holiday hair accessory has quickly filtered into mainstream fashion, with high-street brands offering playful, affordable versions seen everywhere from city streets to beach getaways, and worn in various ways," she explains.
Case in point? Influencers all over TikTok have been sharing unique and simple ways to style a scarf, emulating runway and celebrity trends.

How to style the hair scarf trend
"Scarves can be styled as a chic hair accessory wrapped around a ponytail, braid, or worn as a headband, and tied around the neck as a light accent, or knotted onto a handbag for a splash of pattern," Adolphe instructs.
"Hailey Bieber has been spotted tying scarves as tops and head wraps on holiday," she tells us. "Harry Styles incorporates bold printed scarves into his stage outfits, Bella Hadid embraces vintage-inspired neckerchiefs, and Dua Lipa frequently pairs statement scarves with swimwear or festival looks."
Copenhagen fashion week proved to be a particularly generous source of hair accessory inspiration this year too. With silk scarves, lace bandanas, and crochet caps flooding the streets of the Scandinavian city.

The trending scarf prints and colours to try this season
Material matters when you're shopping: "Look for 100 per cent silk as it’s breathable, lightweight and feels luxurious on the skin," she advises. While, cotton and silk blends like Oroton's Eve 90X90 Scarf ($149 from Oroton) offer a featherweight, breathable alternative if you're on a budget.
Saachi's Embroidered Lace Sage Bandana ($84 from Wolf & Badger) adds a touch of delicate femininity to any ensemble. And we already know picks like Emporio Armani's Crochet Cap ($160 from Emporio Armani) are going to get a lot of wear during festival season.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
