Top 10 Ways to Wear a Bandana: Style Guide from Campfire Co.
Bandanas aren’t just for cowboys anymore. From dusty trails to modern streets, this timeless accessory is one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe.
1. The Classic Cowboy Neck Tie
So chic… the perfect yet subtle accessory to bring life and colour to your favourite jean jacket, double denim or block colour t-shirt.
2. The Headband
Roll it up and tie it around your head for sweat control and effortless cool. Perfect for festivals and summer days. Essential for combating hat hair, unwashed hair and ‘I’m too busy’ hair. The best friend of the messy bun.
3. The Bandit
Bold and timeless, The Bandit is the classic triangle-forward bandana tied around the neck — a look made iconic by country legends and rebels at heart. It channels grit, stage presence, and outlaw charm, perfect for when you want to walk into a room (or onto a stage) like you own the place.
4. Hat Band
Give your favourite wide brimmed hat a pop of colour or a new look with a bandana as a hat band.
5. Wrist Wrap or Cuff
Roll your bandana and tie it around your wrist like a rugged bracelet — simple and effortlessly cool.
6. Tie with a slide or ring
Practical meets polished in The Scout — a bandana worn around the neck, secured not with a knot but with a leather slide or ring. Inspired by trailblazers, troop leaders, and quiet confidence, it’s a look that says you’re ready for anything, with style rooted in tradition and a touch of frontier finesse.
7. Back pocket
A classic throw back to simpler days. Grab a brightly coloured bandana, fold is loosely and stick in the back pocket of your favourite denim..
8. Head Scarf
A nod to vintage glamour and windswept adventures, The Roadster is the bandana tied in a triangle over the head — perfect for top-down drives, sun-drenched afternoons, and feeling like a movie star on the run. It’s carefree, classic, and just a little rebellious.
9. Back of neck triangle
Keep the sun off the back of your neck and keep your style cool with a triangle bandana tied at the front with the triangle at the back.
