Remember the bandana thing from a few years ago? Though farmer types have been on this trend since literally forever, style blogs proclaimed them "officially back" in 2014 — and we're still feeling the aftershocks. Kerchiefs and bandanas appeared again on a runway or two for this year's spring collections (most notably at Sacai), they were spotted all over Coachella, and now they've finally trickled down to the mass chain stores. Madewell in particular is pushing the bandana hard, as is Forever 21, H&M, and others.
If you're still trying to jump on this look and don't have any bandanas in your repertoire, let's at least get our sources in order. Why are we buying bandanas from anywhere other than our local dollar stores like Dollar Tree, discount stores like Walmart — where you can get a pack of 12 for $11 — or the traditional source for all bandana needs: bandanaman.com?
Just a friendly reminder: You don't need to spend more than $2 on a bandana!
