This Throwback Print Is Having a Timely Resurgence
In the early aughts, the likes of Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, and the Olsen twins made paisley-print bandanas a wardrobe staple. This summer, the humble bandana is having an elegant resurgence. Luxury houses like Saint Laurent, Versace, and Tory Burch are covering espadrilles, swimsuits, and silk dresses in bandana print just in time for high summer.
The revival of bandana print feels both nostalgic and unexpectedly timely. Trends from the ‘90s and 2000s often come back, and looking back on what fashion was like 20 years ago always brings forth a certain hazy fondness. It’s especially appropriate for 2020 because, in the wake of the coronavirus, people are dusting off their bandanas and using them as stylish face coverings—something that luxury houses could not have predicted when designing nostalgic bandana pieces.
Whether it’s looking back or looking ahead, there’s no question that bandana prints are cheerful, cool, and a bit elegant. Here, beautiful bandana-print clothes for a dose of reverie and a bit of optimism for your summer days ahead.
