Anthropologie Buttercup Bandana

LOVED FOR: The gorgeous print options make this bandana look like it came straight from the shelves of a cool vintage store. Honestly though—do you expect anything less from Anthropologie?

Urban Outfitters Tie-Dye Bandana

WHY YOU NEED IT: We truly can't think of anything more au courant than a tie-dye bandana. At this price, you may as well grab more than one.

USERS SAID: "This bandana is super soft and lightweight! I'm currently using it as a face mask and it's perfect. Pretty color, too."


M.H.I. Tie Dye Bandana

HELPFUL TIP: These may feel a little stiff when you receive them, but reviewers say they soften up big time after the first wash.


Universal Thread Blue Striped Bandana

LOVED FOR: Thanks to the neutral print and color, this bandana will effortlessly pair with any outfit. Think of it as the face mask version of your go-to button-down shirt.

WHY YOU NEED IT: Nothing can make your outfit pop like Madewell's bandanas. From the stunning prints and colors to the pretty trim along the edges, they're just plain gorgeous.

FUN FACT: This bandana is made from certified organic cotton that's grown without chemical fertilizers and pesticides from untreated, non-genetically modified seeds.


Free People Voyager Block Print Bandana

USERS SAID: "I bought this in the hopes to wear it as a top, and it exceeded my expectations. It has more than enough fabric to do so, holds me in with coverage, and is a soft, breathable material. I can't wait to wear to the beach or going out when things open up again. There are a million ways to style this thing!"

HELPFUL TIP: Due to the silk blend, we recommend washing these by hand rather than tossing them in the machine.


Madewell Bandana

USERS SAID: "These are not your typical heavy and stiff cotton bandana's. Noooo. These are soft and come in beautiful colors and great patterns. I bought one (the cabernet color) and then went back and bought them all. And then went back and bought them all for my mother. I can be found wearing one of these almost every day since I've bought them!"
