Silk Scarves: Your Grandma’s Favorite Accessory You Didn’t Know You Needed

If there's one accessory that grandmas can't get enough of, it's the head scarf. And it seems that fall fashion has taken a cue from our cute nanas, nonnas and grammies with its resurgence. Though there's one difference: Rather than tying it under your chin (a la nan), it's meant to be tied in the back, handkerchief style like Lizzie McGuire and Christina Aguliera once rocked oh so well. Want in on the trend? Here are 11 head scarves—from $35 to $495—to wear on repeat. Bonus: They hide every quarantine problem from greasy roots to pesky grays.
