Noughties throwback fashion trend Victoria Beckham & J-Lo loved is back in style for summer – here's how to wear it
It's affordable, versatile, and instantly elevates any summer look HEAD OVER HEELS Noughties throwback fashion trend Victoria Beckham & J-Lo loved is back in style for summer – here's how to wear it Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FROM low-rise jeans to tiny bags and enough denim to kit out a whole pop group, it seems that Noughties fashion has officially made a comeback. Now, adding to the collection, one of the decade's coolest and easiest accessories is officially back for summer: the humble-yet-chic headscarf or bandana. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 9 Beyonce Knowles when she was in Destiny's Child Credit: Getty 9 Victoria Beckham pictured back in 2001 wearing a bandana Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 9 Emily Ratajkowski wearing a bandana in Cannes, France this year Credit: Getty This iconic accessory, championed by everyone from pop princesses to fashion royalty back in the early 2000s, is making a serious comeback, and we are absolutely here for it. None other than fashion icon Victoria Beckham and the one and only Jennifer Lopez were big fans of the look. Victoria often opted for sleek, almost minimalist bandanas tied neatly at the nape, adding a touch of understated cool to her polished outfits. J-Lo, on the other hand, made them part of her signature Bronx-goddess aesthetic, often pairing them with crop tops, low-slung jeans, and a whole lotta sparkle. And more recently, A-list celebrities are choosing to bring it back. At Glastonbury, Gracie Abrams cemented the bandana as the essential festival accessory. The bandana is seriously buzzing, currently trending on TikTok with a whopping 312.7k hashtags. Influencers are rocking them with bikinis on the beach and chic summer dresses to the pub, making them the ultimate versatile summer staple. They are even doing tutorials on how best to wear them as well. The buying team at Claire's Accessories reports that, to meet demand, its next collection will contain five more ranges. Dunnes Stores fans go wild for new summer dresses It's affordable, versatile, and instantly elevates any summer look. Plus, it's brilliant for those humid days when your hair has a mind of its own, or to protect your scalp from the glorious (but strong!) summer sun. Fashion experts recommend opting for lightweight cotton for casual, laid-back vibes, or going for luxurious silk for a touch of sophisticated glam. Don't be afraid to experiment with patterns - paisley prints are true Noughties nostalgia, but bold florals and block colours are just as fabulous. 9 Kendall Jenner wearing denim overalls and Birkenstocks, sitting on a bench Credit: Instagram/kendalljenner 9 Hailey Bieber in a yellow bikini and bandana on a boat Credit: Instagram/@haileybieber 9 Hailey Bieber wearing a New York Yankees jacket and leopard print headscarf Credit: Instagram/haileybieber Where you can buy bandana's for cheap ASOS: Check their own ASOS DESIGN accessories, particularly in the sales section, for on-trend and affordable bandanas and headscarves.

She went for a brown theme, with a bandana that featured gold details, accessorising with sunglasses. Not one to miss out on a trend is Hailey Bieber. In true model form, the 28-year-old has styled herself in a bandana more than a couple of times - she even wears it over a cap.
