I've also found this year I'm less keen on a summer hat - Why? I have absolutely no clue, so this trend is really working for me.

I've tried tying my skinny scarf both as a bow (see below) plus I've also let it hang loose for a longer look - I personally prefer the bow as I don't have much of a pony tail with my bob length hair but should you have very cropped or very long, I can image leaving it longer would look stylishly fab!

As for the turban version, well I have bought the black Zara one below - I've not had the chance to use it because in my mind this would suit me more for either the beach or poolside. With my fringe once you get your hair a little wet it can look quite messy, I am hoping this turban along with a bit of lippy and some earrings, will mask how unkept I'm feeling, because it will ooze glam - well that's what's going on in my head!! LOL.
Have a go at both - unfortunately they don't allow you to take these small accessories into the changing rooms, so perhaps shop for them at a quieter time giving you the chance to try in store without too much fuss. Take a friend for the honest opinion BUT remember it's meant to be an aid to keep a casual vibe stylish so let's avoid perfection!
STYLE INSPIRATION

MY TOP TIPS
- Think about what colours, prints you like - perhaps take a look at Pinterest or Instagram for inspiration before you head to the shops
- Don't try too hard making your hair look perfect - it's meant to look natural not too contrived
- Head to You Tube and watch a few videos on how to tie the scarves
- Start small - try a pony tail and just tie a skinny scarf around the tail, keep trying new ways each time, and your confidence will grow
- It is harder with a fringe, but don't feel you have to hide the fringe... work it within the look
- Think about the colour of your scarf and the print - it needs to work with what you are wearing (unless you are in a plain tee and jeans or a simple jumpsuit)
- If you love this trend - invest in two or three scarves/turbans as you don't want to keep re-creating the same look
- Most importantly, spend time playing and getting to know how to tie it - don't try creating on a special night out!

My Ted Baker scarf is from last year and I bought it in the sale - so always keep a look out for this sort of thing at your favourite premium brand stores - as paying full price for these kind of items can be quite expensive. Here's a few I've found on their website.
