For starters, Eva Mendes is so beautiful it hurts. Secondly, we were especially taken with her red carpet-to-casual transition of the head wrap.

The head-wrap-for-fashion’s-sake isn’t a new concept, by any means. Back in 2007, Prada was the first — in some time — to unearth the turban for luxury fashion purposes. And as trends evolve, go mainstream, and make the adaptation from aspirational to accessible, the turban took a turn towards the head wrap.

And while that trend may have lied dormant for several years, it’s back, with all of its boho sensibilities and nods to Rockabilly style. Plus it’s totally functional, as Eva demonstrates, to keep hair back. Online retailers are on top of this quick and chic summer solution. Here’s a look at our favorite head wraps, scarves, and bands to keep you looking (and feeling) oh-so cool in the inevitable upcoming heat.
