The bandana, a staple of the western style trend for summer 2026, continues into autumn and is worn by celebrities including Dua Lipa, Zendaya and Zoe Kravitz. The accessory is available from as little as £9 at Marks & Spencer, River Island and ASOS.
How to Style the Trend
A simple folded bandana can be worn in the hair, through belt loops of jeans, or as a bag accessory, elevating an otherwise simple outfit. Paired with denim, boots and a simple white T-shirt, it creates an off-duty model look.
The trend has moved through decades, from the 80s and 90s to now, and remains budget-friendly. Several options are available under £15.
Top Picks Under £15
Marks & Spencer's Satin Triangle Printed Neckerchief has been reduced from £19 to £9 in a special offer. The brown and white tones suit autumn, and it is made from smooth satin with a micro dot and paisley border. One shopper commented: "Useful addition to summer wardrobe through autumn and winter."
River Island's Pink Paisley Print Neck Scarf is priced at £14, featuring a classic paisley print in pale pink and white. Made from polyester, it is durable and can be worn around the neck, waist, or tied on a bag.
ASOS offers the JJXX lace headscarf in white for £12, though it is currently low in stock. The white lace effect offers an elegant take on the classic bandana, with small bows and a bobbled trim. It could suit hen parties and bridal looks as September wedding season approaches.
