How to Wear a Large Scarf as a Dress
Welcome back to scarf weather! While you are here, take a moment to reassess your scarf style. Sure you can make like Lenny Kravitz and throw on a dramatic blanket scarf, but unless you actually are a Kravitz, that style might quickly grow old to you. Consider investing in a couple of multipurpose scarves that can be worn around your head, like Queen Elizabeth or Lupita Nyong'o, fastened at the neck with a brooch, or casually wrapped around your wrist. Below, eight ways to style scarves all season long.
Around the Wrist
You never know when you might need a bandana. Whether it's a fashion emergency, an impromptu mask, or a functional tool to fight the cold, the bandana is always in style. Pop one on your wrist for a fun—and highly practical—accessory.

You don't need to have a bad hair day to wear a headscarf. It amplifies an already great outfit, as Lupita Nyong'o demonstrates, and has long been a trusty tool for many African cultures. Trust Brooklyn boutique Busayo, whose founder grew up in Nigeria, for scarves that celebrate Africa's rich textile traditions.

This jaunty style adds way more sophistication than a scrunchie (cue Carrie Bradshaw's horror over a scrunchie reference). Use it to enliven a simple outfit or to flash just a little designer know-how, like Dior's ribbon which is floral on one side and a logo on the other.
