Headscarf: 5 Ways to Wear the Accessory That Will Trend Next Summer

26 July 2026

There are accessories that never quite disappear. They simply wait for the right moment to return, and that moment arrived for the headscarf. After conquering European street style, this classic reappears renewed, and all indications are that it will be one of the major stars of summer 2027.

The best thing about this trend is that it adapts to all styles: from the most romantic looks to the most relaxed. In addition, it makes it possible to transform a basic outfit into something much more sophisticated with a single gesture.

Worn as a headband

The most classic and easiest way to wear it. You simply fold it into a ribbon shape and place it over the head, leaving the hair loose or barely wavy. It’s ideal to give a French-inspired and very feminine air.

In a ponytail

A scarf tied around a low or high ponytail elevates any hairstyle in seconds. Besides adding color, it brings movement and a touch of elegance with little effort.

Pirate style

It is one of the strongest bets already seen on the streets of Paris, Milan, and Ibiza. The scarf covers a large part of the head and is tied at the nape of the neck, achieving a relaxed look with plenty of personality.

Tied around the bun

If you’re looking for a practical yet stylish hairstyle, wrap a bun—whether low or high—with a printed scarf. It’s a perfect option for hot days and one of the influencers’ favorites.

Paired with hats

Another trend gaining ground involves adding a scarf beneath a raffia hat or a wide-brimmed hat. In addition to protecting the hair from the sun, it creates a sophisticated look with Mediterranean inspiration that’s set to be seen a lot next summer.
