However, the fashion scene is different. The word “handkerchief” has its meaning. Let’s take a look at its surprisingly two syllables in one sentence. Sound interesting, right? Handkerchief as an Accessory is Timeless. Do you agree?

HAND+KERCHIEF= handkerchief
The last word caught my eye for fashion meaning. That one handkerchief we always bringing in school can be used in many ways. The Kerchief is from an old French word, “couvrechief,” which means bandana(cover head). If we combined the two syllables, it generally has two meanings. Hand carry accessory and use as covering your head as “bandana.”

BANDANA STYLE

Bandana is always what we were, hear in the first step from using it as a fashion accessory. Aside from that, it is considered an iconic fashion accessory until today. Just make a triangular shape in the handkerchief, then fold it how many as you like. As for me, I fold it 3-4 times to fit my small oval face. After that, make a knot at the middle at the back then you’re done.

But still, as we look on the creative side, you can use a handkerchief as your accessory for a lifetime. That’s how amazing you have in sustainable fashion in your area. I will share easy ways to flaunt your simple handkerchief as an accessory in your daily routine. Okay, let’s start!

HANDKERCHIEF AS BAGTAG

Handkerchief as bag tag doesn’t mean you need to put your contact information in there. Most luggage, just like your shoulder bag, quite look boring if you use it every day on travel or occasions. If we like to add some fancy visuals, you need this.

If you usually use dark and vivid colored bags, use a colorful one or a brilliant one to use as a bag accessory while lighted ones match dark-colored ones, brown shades, or nude tones.

Just roll up the handkerchief around one strap of your bag to make it more visible and pleasing to the eyes.

Girls will always need plenty of time to pamper their hair. If you belong to medium-length to long-length hair, this is for you. You can never get wrong in adding some extra features to your hair with one handkerchief.

First, try figuring out your hairstyle for a birthday, anniversary, fashion event, etc. Once you decide on your hairstyle, you can add up your handkerchief in the design. No matter how you want to have your hairstyle goals is easy. Just fold it like a bandana, flatten it up, look for the half part and start rolling it around the hair to have the extra design to look good in photos like this.
