If you love the polish of a headpiece but want something you can wear on an ordinary Tuesday, the knotted headband is for you. Inspired by vintage turbans, it adds height and shape at the crown and makes even quick hairstyles look intentional.

Our handmade Rainbow Women Headband is twisted into a soft knot from a multicolour woven fabric, flecked with shades that pick up almost any outfit. Here is how to wear it.

Why Knotted Headbands Are So Popular

A knot at the front of a headband creates natural volume and frames the face, which is why the style flatters so many face shapes. It also hides second day hair, keeps hair off your face in the heat, and looks effortlessly put together.

Because the fabric is multicolour, the headband works with neutral outfits and brights alike. Pull out one of the shades in the weave and match it to your top, scarf or shoes.

How to Style a Multicolour Turban Headband

Work and office

Wear it with a crisp white shirt or a fine knit and tailored trousers. It adds personality to a corporate outfit without feeling over the top.

Weekend brunch

Pair it with denim, a striped tee and white sneakers. A sleek low ponytail or loose waves both work well.

Casual race days and picnics

For a relaxed day at the country races or a picnic, try it with a linen shirt dress. It gives you the polish of headwear without a formal fascinator.

Travel and holidays

A knotted headband is the perfect travel accessory. It packs flat, needs no pins and rescues hair after a long flight.

Stylist tip: Place the knot slightly off centre for a softer, more modern look, and pull a few face framing strands loose in front of the band.

What to Wear With a Multicolour Headband

  • Tops: white, cream, black or a solid colour pulled from the weave
  • Bottoms: denim, tailored trousers or a linen skirt
  • Shoes: sneakers, loafers or sandals
  • Jewellery: simple gold hoops or studs
  • Hair: sleek low bun, ponytail or loose waves

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you wear a knotted headband?

Place it about two centimetres behind your hairline with the knot centred or slightly to one side, and loosen a few strands at the front.

Do knotted headbands suit short hair?

Yes. They add height at the crown and work with bobs, lobs and pixie cuts.

Can I wear a knotted headband to work?

Yes. A fabric knotted headband is polished enough for most offices, especially with simple outfits.

Does a knotted headband give you a headache?

A soft fabric headband is usually comfortable. Wear it slightly back from the hairline rather than pressing behind the ears.
