Fashionable Head Covers for Fall and Winter

As the leaves change colors and fall to the ground, and the smell of pumpkin spice permeates the air, it’s time to breakout the fall and winter fashions. If you’re a style watcher, this year means sweaters with fringe (yes, fringe is in!), lots of check patterns, and winter florals. Knit hats and beanies with fun designs are still a fashion favorite as are simple and colorful scarves — just ask Gucci! Fashionable head coverings like scarves, beanies, caps and wraps are a must-have for women coping with cancer-related hair loss. A stylish head covering is the easiest way to protect your scalp, while showcasing your beautiful face and personal style. Here are 6 tips to make fashionable head covers  your go-to fashion this fall.

1. Make it Count

2. Experiment with Colors and Patterns

Fall is home to some of the most beautiful, nature-inspired colors. Let the season lead you down a path of experimentation with the colors and patterns of the earth. Flourish in the reds, golds, and emeralds. Switch out your brights and florals for leaves and vines. Whatever you choose, don’t be afraid to make a bold choice and elevate your head cover to the centerpiece of your outfit.

3. Size Matters

With scarves too! To turn a scarf into a stylish head covering, choose one that is square and that measures 35″ by 35″ or larger. This is the optimum size for total scalp and neck coverage.

4. Feel the Fabric

When shopping for your new Fall find, don’t be afraid to give it a feel. Check the tag to find out what your new scarf is made of. Head scarves made from light, breathable fabrics like linen, jersey, and cotton knot better and hold securely. While silk and satin are stylish, they are also slippery and you may want to wear a scarf pad underneath.

5. Pad it Up

While headscarves or wraps are versatile, protect your head, and keep your look fresh, accessories can be worn to make them more comfortable and to provide a better fit. For example, cotton scarf pads add height underneath your scarf to create a more natural appearance, and they also absorb sweat and prevent scarves from slipping.

6. Create Your Own Signature Look

The most important part of rocking any headscarf, beanie or cap this fall is not just to feel beautiful, but to feel undeniably you. Find the looks and styles that makes you feel great in your own skin.
