More often than not, a little clever styling is all it takes to take an OOTD to the next level. As of late, fashionable ladies have been teaming together a bandana, a cap, and a pair of sunglasses to complete their casual looks. It's an it girl-approved style trifecta!
LOOK: Celebrities Wearing the Bandana, Cap, and Sunglasses Trend
Individually, these pieces serve as ideal punctuation marks to any look. Anne Curtis recently demonstrated how to wear all of them at once in a recent airport OOTD, when she tied a printed bandana over a cap and finished things off with wide-rimmed Gucci sunnies. The trio of accessories imparted a retro-esque touch to her laidback black-and-white 'fit!
Combining the three accessories exudes a palpable '90s energy, akin to hip-hop culture and streetwear. Depending on the prints or motifs one goes for, it can also give off a European summer vacation vibe. On TikTok, the trend has caught on, with many pairing together the pieces to elevate their looks.
The bandana + cap + sunglasses "hack" first entered the sartorial conversation when Hailey Bieber posted a 'fit check at Coachella last April 2024. The global style star added some extra oomph to her track jacket with a pair of black shades, a Fila logo cap, and a cheetah-print scarf. Hailey has acknowledged that her inspo for the look was one of Rihanna's off-duty ensembles in 2023.
And as most trends born out of the internet do, the triumvirate of accessories is slowly seeping into the wardrobes of fashion girlies everywhere. Even Issa Pressman recently took to Instagram to share how she's wearing the style trick using pieces from her very own brand.
