AS A NECKTIE

Channel your inner Gigi Hadid by tying a simple knot and letting the ends hang out in front or to the side, whichever you prefer.

AS A HEADBAND

Loose and easy and ready for the weekend.

AS A FULL HAIR WRAP

Effortlessly stylish and an easy way to cover up a bad hair day.

AS A NECKLACE

Best when used with a skinny scarf looped once or twice around the neck.
