Style Challenge: How To Wear A Headband
The Stylephile has covered this ground before and quite frankly, you ladies went absolutely ape for headscarf counsel. And so, we revisit—first with a quick look back. Brigitte Bardot preferred her headband to pull back every tendril, but also exposed her hairline; Edie Beale created a snood out of her damn underwear.
The key to making a headband work is to first determine the shape of your face. Frederic Fekkai says: "An oval shaped face is best with a thicker headband." That means all you hearts, squares, and round-faced gals better opt for a skinnier sash. If you could sell ad space on your forehead, darling, be sure to pull out a few wisps to soften that vast expanse above your brows.
Check out the selection of exquisite bands at jenniferbehr.com – which offers a very Prada-esque satin turban style. Also, knock-off shoe purveyor Aldo sells stretchy jersey headbands in primary colors (green, yellow, red) that can be worn as wide as pennant flags or folded over for a more subtle look. FYI: A black turtleneck with white pants (slightly flared) and a Kelly green headband is chic enough to silence any petty fashion critic.
Got a great tip for where to find a cool headband? Help a sister out and comment here.

The Stylephile is a potent cocktail of sweet and sour musings on the culture of keeping up appearances. Style should never be a humorless pursuit. Let style editor Caroline Ryder entertain you.
