Tips for Wearing a Headwrap with Confidence

February 28, 2017

Headwraps have significance for many cultures around the globe.  For me personally, headwraps are more of a style aesthetic decision inspired by African cultures. But no matter your reason for wearing them, here are a four tips for wearing headwraps with confidence!

1) Head to YouTube or Pinterest for Inspiration.

Styling your headwrap does not have to be a daunting task.  There are countless tutorials on YouTube and Pinterest to offer you inspiration for how to style your headwrap! Do a quick Google and you’ll have pages of inspiration and tutorials to choose from

2) Don’t be afraid of pairing headwraps with bright pops of lipstick.

Don’t be afraid to wear headwraps with casual outfits (and dressy ones alike)! An easy way to elevate a headwrap worn with a casual outfit is to add a bright pop of  a lipstick in your color of choice (red, pink, orange, etc.).

3) Embrace earrings (large and small).

 You can style your headwraps with earrings of all sizes: try large hoops or small studs.  I’m partial to wearing my headwraps with large bold earrings like these.

4) Choose your own adventure: style your headwraps with neutrals, dark colors, or with bold colors or prints.

During the cooler seasons, try styling headwraps with neutral jeans, boots, a jacket and a brightly printed headwrap. But during the summer months, it’s fun to style headwraps with bright, bold colors.  Case in point: Orange Dress and Printed Headwrap.
