Tichel Styles: Ways to Wear Your Headscarf, From Everyday to Holiday

Easy tichel styles for every day and every occasion, from pretied and open back to square headscarves and pretied bandanas.

Updated on  

Some days you want to slip something on and go. Other days you want a look that feels a little more dressed up.

The good news? You don't need a whole new routine for each. You just need the right style. Here are a few tichel styles we love, from busy weekdays to Shabbos and holidays.

Everyday: The Pretied Tichel

A pretied tichel is already tied, so it goes on in seconds. A hidden velvet grip helps it stay in place, and the adjustable strap lets you set the fit that feels right for you.

Pair a print you love with the simple pieces you already wear on repeat, and let the headscarf finish the look.

Dressed Up: The Open Back Pretied

For Shabbos, holidays and special occasions, the open back pretied has the same velvet grip and adjustable strap, plus an extended back piece for a more elegant look.

Your Way: The Square Headscarf

A square headscarf gives you the freedom to fold and tie it however you like, so the same scarf can look different every time you wear it.

Three ways to wear one square:

  • As a classic headscarf: fold and tie it as a regular tichel.

  • Pirate style: for a relaxed, bandana-like look.

  • As a belt: take your square beyond your head and tie it at the waist to bring the print into your outfit.

Relaxed: The Pretied Bandana

For errands, casual days and anytime you want something quick, a pretied bandana gives you the look of a tied bandana with no tying needed.
