This Elegant Accessory Is Taking Over The Internet – It's Perfect For Autumn, Too
The Grazia fashion team have already waxed lyrical about the bandana revival being the perfect summer accessory (ideal for hiding sweaty hair), so this is just an extension of the trend we're already backing. For me, though, I'm seeing this accessory trend as being split into three micro trends – the bandana, the hat and the bonnet. And I'm into all of them.
Although I don't think I could pull off a single one of them (considering I don't even suit a cap, my headwear game is pretty weak) I do like how the textured accessory gives a point of interest to any outfit. Wearing a white T-shirt and blazer? Add a cream crochet bandana. Going for a knit co-ord? Follow through with texture and add a black knit bandana (as seen above).
Then there's the crochet hat. Without the tie around your hair, this one sits on your head – much like a beanie, but a lot less cosy for warm-weather outfits. And across CPHFW I've spotted so many fun colourful iterations all being worn the same way; matched to your jumper or jacket. There seems to be a lot of co-ordinating looks happening in Denmark right now!
This brings me onto the third crochet style, and it's all about the bonnet. Sitting on your head with ties dangling free or tied around your neck (yes, like your baby pictures), these are slightly trickier to style. Content creator @pollysayerand photographer @beatricerigby have both kept with the boho theme, though, think puff sleeves, bloomers and layers of lace in soft, tonal monochromatic palettes.

Need further confirmation these crochet bandanas are sticking around for the long haul? They were also seen on the catwalk at Stall Studio, so we can all rest assured knowing they'll be around next summer, too.
Ready to try out this hot weather hero for yourself? I've found high street and designer crochet bandanas and bonnets you'll no doubt want to add to your accessory repertoire. 1.
Free People, Sandy Hair Scarf
In full boho style, this tasseled cream style at Free People will be your festival friend. Tied around unwashed hair, you'll probably wonder how you got ready without it. 2.
Marcus Adler, Crochet Bonnet
Of course Free People is the destination to find this type of headwear, so here's another one. This black iteration with flower ties (it also comes in cream FYI) wouldn't look out of place with a white cotton dress and Western boots. 3.
Miu Miu, Crochet Hairband
No summer will be the same again once you have this Miu Miu rainbow, logo-adorned crochet headband. I wouldn't blame you for wanting the matching scrunchie and clips, too. 4.
Reclaimed Vintage, Lace Headscarf
Price: $19.99
This one is more lace and Broderie anglaise than crochet, but it feels so similar to the Skall Studio one fresh off the runway, so I had to include. Longer than some of the others, it'll do the most when it comes to covering up salty sea hair. 5.
Magda Butrym, Crochet Cotton Scarf
If you're fully invested in the crochet bandana vibe, you may want to consider investing in this Magda Butrym version. I appreciate how it's styled with the matchy-matchy top, but it'll also look effortless with baggy jeans and a vest.

Goodbye Boring T-Shirts – This Is The Chic Top Fashion People Can't Stop Wearing
Damson Madder, Cassia Shrunken Rugby Ganni, Multicolour Striped Rib Tank Top COS, Clean Cut Regular T-shirt Arket, Short-Sleeve Polo Shirt Faithfull The Brand, Antibes Striped Linen Top Monki, Open-Knit Cotton Tank Top Glassworks, Green Rainbow Striped Cropped Tee Aligne, Char Boucle Striped Top Reformation, Rowan Crew Tee With Nothing Underneath, Devon Jumper ME + EM, Striped Pouf Sleeve Tee Free People, Sailor Tube Co-Ord Every August, Copenhagen Fashion Week is splashed across our social media feeds (and our saved folders) with looks that are playful yet somehow completely put-together. As always, the Scandi girls showed up this year with their signature mix of minimalism-meets-maximalism that somehow looks so effortless. Think flip-flops with frocks, granny-chic crochet bandanas, dresses worn over trousers and chaotic layering that really shouldn't work, but absolutely does. But amidst the more out there 'wait, can I actually pull that off?' looks, one trend stood out for the simple fact that it was more wearable than most: stripes. More specifically, striped tops with their preppy edge across polos, tank tops, and even tube tops. The city looked like it was hosting a colourful remake of Beetlejuice , and I'll be honest, we're definitely into it. ©Getty Images/Victor VIRGILE/Gamma-Rapho/Jacopo Raule Of course, stripes have been slowly making a splash across runways all year. Take Miu Miu, for example, where cropped striped polos and crewnecks have been walking the catwalk for a few seasons now, in shades ranging from classic navy and white to orange and red mustard with brown. Over at Bottega Veneta's SS25 show, a striped scarf top was paired with a matching midi skirt, while Chanel Cruise 25 showed an array of striped co ords. Miu Miu, Striped T-Shirt While 2025's stripe resurgence has largely been centred around bright combinations, the more classic Breton striped tops are still as chic as ever. Beloved by French girls everywhere and elegant dressers such as Kate Middleton, nautical navy and white striped tops and jumpers are just as popular, adding a touch of polish to the trend.

For a smart casual look, style a long-sleeved top with tailored bermuda shorts and loafers (a combination popular with countless influencers). Alternatively, opt for a cropped polo à la Miu Miu, paired with high-rise jeans, like Janka Polliani. Gabriella Karefa Johnson at Copenhagen Fashion Week ©Getty Images/Christian Vierig If your style is more whimsical, take notes from Gabriela Karefa Johnson, who mixed and matched shades with careful abandon – pairing her sorbet-hued striped polo with a white and navy lined mini and a red breton-striped jacket tied around the waist. For a more chaotic Gen Z-approved look, layer your striped top under a slinky slip dress over trousers or style a baggy striped polo with a lace skirt and suede trainers. Of course, if you're looking to splurge, there are plenty of designer options from Miu Miu to Faithfull The Brand. However, if you haven't quite budgeted three figures for wardrobe staples, the high street is awash with brilliant designs. Case in point, Damson Madder's Cassia rugby top, whose green stripes have proven popular with fashion editors and influencers alike. For a cool girl-approved take, look to Ganni's colourful striped tank, while Reformation offers a chic crewneck. All of which to say, whatever your style, there's a brilliant striped top for you.

The secret to ‘old money blonde' is easier than you think
Take it from me: being blonde is not for the faint-hearted. It's a high-maintenance love affair that lasts a lifetime. The frequent appointments are costly, and the at-home upkeep feels like a chore. And yet, I wouldn't have it any other way. While I bemoan the agony of sitting still for hours, poised like a porcupine with a head full of foils every eighth Saturday, when I emerge from the backwash with a halo of frothy highlights, I feel reborn. Needless to say, I'm closer to my colourist than some of my closest neighbours. I prefer a pale Scandi vibe that requires a lot of bleach to achieve, so I do my utmost to minimise damage with daily hair masks and bonding treatments at home. To be fair, considering what I put my hair through, it's pretty hardy. As long as I douse it in conditioning ingredients and trim the ends regularly, I can maintain a certain level of glossiness. But there's more than one way to be blonde. The once-admonished mousy roots are fiendishly à la mode when balanced with a smattering of highlights painted sparingly throughout. The once-platinum looks of Sienna Miller, Sydney Sweeney and Sophia Richie Grainge are case in point. Colourist Harriet Muldoon, who works out of Larry King's Kensington salon, has been instrumental in shaping the new low-key colour trend she describes as 'heritage blonde'. You can see it on her client Sienna Miller, whose hair she took a shade darker for the summer months. Miller's look is achieved through a technique Muldoon calls 'a partial', which marries fewer highlights applied with a light touch on the ends and perimeter of the face, with a semi-permanent gloss in Miller's natural colour on the roots and mid-lengths. Partially highlighting hair, says Muldoon, is lower maintenance than colouring it blonde from root to tip. Substituting a permanent colour with a tinted gloss on the roots gives the hair an expensive-looking lacquer finish. The 'tinted gloss' technique 'With Sienna I apply the highlights first, a couple on top and a few chunkier ones on the hairline to frame the face,' explains Muldoon. 'Then I paint in between with a gloss that matches her base colour, dragging the colour downwards towards the mid section.' Glosses will blend in greys but they won't give you 100 per cent coverage, adds Muldoon, yet they are a smart way to adapt your blonde to last longer, as the regrowth is more subtle. 'Tinted glosses are like water colours for the hair. Unlike a heavy saturation of tint at the roots, glosses revive the shine and health of the hair, which makes it look more expensive,' she adds. A seasonal switch With a tinted gloss, there's no fear of going brassy in the sun – a compelling reason to downplay things in summer. 'I always encourage my blonde clients to go darker in summer and lighter in winter when you need that extra input of light,' says Muldoon, who explains that going darker doesn't mean you can't add warmth. 'Think of it like putting make-up on your hair: combining glosses and highlights together, you get this bronzed glistening base with a scattering of buttery highlights to make everything pop.' The placement is equally important. 'I like to use creamier highlights around the face to create a halo effect and more golden hues underneath and at the ends. It's very old money,' says Muldoon. Added extras If you tire of the subtlety, you can always add more highlights. 'Poppy Delevingne came in for a quick hairline lift ahead of an event the other day. I added a few highlights around the face and blended in between with a gloss,' says Muldoon. 'You don't have to come in for the full service every time; you can book a quick refresh. That's the beauty of utilising glosses this way.' Glosses can also be mixed or combined to add dimension. 'In Sienna's case, we use a darker gloss on her roots and a golden one through the underneath section. Because they're transparent, you can be quite playful,' Muldoon points out. Better hair health and fewer appointments? That's hard to argue with. Three of the best at-home hair glosses Muldoon is a master at matching each client's colour protocol to their hair type and skin tone, but if you want nothing more than a glistening coat of warm or cool atop your natural colour, it can be done at home using a supermarket hair gloss.
