The good news is that anyone can look great in a shemagh &#8211; provided you choose the right one for you and know how to style it! We\u2019re here with a few tips to ensure you always look great in your shemagh, so keep reading and we\u2019ll share them with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_shemagh\"><\/span>What is a shemagh?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A shemagh (pronounced \u2018schmog\u2019) or keffiyeh, is an Arabic headscarf, kind of like a giant cotton bandana<\/strong>. In arid countries, it is worn to protect the face and mouth from dust and sun, but it can be worn almost anywhere! Did you know that Australia, British, and US Special Forces issue these to their troops? That\u2019s because the shemagh is, as well as looking stylish, a hugely practical accessory.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re traveling, it can double up as a cozy scarf, be used as a pillow or towel, and has a whole host of other uses. However, we\u2019re going to focus on how to style your shemagh to ensure you look great no matter what the occasion. Even celebrities like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/zacefron\/?utm_source=ig_embed\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"rank-math-link\">Zac Efron<\/a>&nbsp;have been seen sporting a shemagh!&nbsp; For most everyday uses, you won\u2019t be wearing your shemagh in the traditional way, wrapped around your face. Instead, you\u2019ll probably be wearing it as more of an oversized scarf &#8211; a really stylish look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choosing_the_right_shemagh_-_what_color_is_best\"><\/span>Choosing the right shemagh &#8211; what color is best?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.soxy.com\/blogs\/what-to-wear\/how-to-wear-a-bandana\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">how to wear a bandana<\/a>&nbsp;or shemagh, we\u2019re about to give you some great tips on choosing the best color to go with whatever you\u2019re wearing. Firstly, think about what outfit you\u2019re going to be wearing &#8211; the following table should help give you some ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Outfit<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Color Shemagh<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Casual khakis and a linen shirt<\/td><td>Olive green, neutrals like beige, ecru, grey, white, or black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Light-colored pants and a pastel shirt (blue or pink)<\/td><td>Pastels, neutrals like beige or ecru, blue, black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Jeans and a dark-colored T-shirt<\/td><td>Contrasting lighter shades like beige, ecru, pastels, or darker shades to complement such as olive green, navy blue, brown, or black<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, there is a whole range of different outfits you can style your shemagh with, but the most important thing to think about when choosing the right color is whether you\u2019d like your shemagh to blend in or contrast the rest of your outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, choosing a color a couple of shades lighter or darker than your outfit is the safest bet &#8211; so if you\u2019re wearing a black t-shirt, go for a navy blue, burgundy or olive green shemagh. For a really eye-catching look, opt for a contrasting color &#8211; such as a navy blue shemagh with a plain white tee or a brown shemagh with an olive green shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_wear_the_best_shemagh_fabric\"><\/span>How to wear the best shemagh fabric<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you will find most keffiyeh are made of cotton, you will find those made from other materials out there. Cotton is by far the best material to opt for &#8211; not only is it easy to wash and care for but it\u2019s also incredibly cool. This means you\u2019ll never be too warm while wearing your shemagh, and if you\u2019re in a hot, arid climate you can wrap it around your head or face to offer protection from sun, sand, and dust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to steer clear of non-traditional fabrics like satin or cheaper materials like polyester &#8211; not only do these not have the weight of a traditional shemagh, they will also make you feel hot and bothered if you\u2019re wearing them around your face or head!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_wear_a_shemagh_on_a_date\"><\/span>How to wear a shemagh on a date<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re going on a first date, a blind date or even a third or fourth date with a person you\u2019re interested in, ensuring you look great is important. Accessories are a key part of any outfit, and many men are choosing to wear accessories like a keffiyeh, a bandana or a hat to add a touch of style to their outfit. It takes confidence to pull off accessories &#8211; particularly bold ones like a shemagh or a bandana, but if you feel good in what you\u2019re wearing, you\u2019ll look great too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things to remember when wearing a shemagh on a date:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Choose a color that either contrasts or blends with the rest of your outfit. For a first date, opt for a subtle shade that coordinates with your shirt or t-shirt.<\/li><li>Try to avoid wrapping your shemagh around your face or head unless you\u2019re on a date somewhere very hot and arid &#8211; your date wants to see your face!<\/li><li>Remember that wearing a keffiyeh on a date gives you the perfect opportunity to be a gentleman. You can offer your shemagh to your date to cover their hair if it rains or their shoulders if they get cold.<\/li><li>Make sure your shemagh is laundered, fresh and clean, especially if you plan on offering it to your date for warmth or protection from the rain!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll find you can pair your keffiyeh with almost any outfit for a date, although it looks most stylish worn with a simple tee or top and jeans\/pants or khakis\/light-colored pants and a shirt. It\u2019s a great way to add interest to a simple outfit, so don\u2019t pair it with clashing patterns or bright colors. Keep your outfit classic and wear neutral shades and you\u2019ll carry off your shemagh in style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_wear_a_keffiyeh_to_meet_your_partners_parents\"><\/span>How to wear a keffiyeh to meet your partner\u2019s parents<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meeting your partner\u2019s parents is always going to be a scary time, no matter how long you\u2019ve been dating. Whether you\u2019ve been together a month or a year, you want to ensure you look your best and make a great first impression when you finally meet the parents. This isn\u2019t the time to experiment with outlandish colors and prints, over-the-top accessories or shoes you wouldn\u2019t normally sport, but adding a couple of simple accessories to your look is a great way to feel and look stylish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re in a hot country &#8211; or meeting the parents on holiday &#8211; a keffiyeh can be worn around the face outdoors or as a neck scarf\/bandana for a more casual meeting. We don\u2019t recommend wearing your shemagh with a suit or to more formal events such as dinner in a fancy restaurant, but it\u2019s great for dinner at her parents\u2019 place, lunch out or a day at the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stick to neutral colors like black, ecru, grey and navy blue when choosing a shemagh for a date with the parents. These are smart enough to pair well with any shirt, t-shirt or top, and won\u2019t look like you are trying too hard. One of our favourite looks is a navy blue shemagh with a white or beige shirt, while a grey or ecru shemagh pairs well with a navy blue or black top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rocking_a_shemagh_at_a_concert_or_gig\"><\/span>Rocking a shemagh at a concert or gig<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A shemagh isn\u2019t just for more formal events like a date or meeting your girlfriend\u2019s parents. It can also be an edgy accessory to wear when hanging out with your friends. Next time you\u2019re wondering&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.soxy.com\/blogs\/what-to-wear\/what-to-wear-to-a-concert\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">what to wear to a concert<\/a>, why not tie your whole outfit together with a keffiyeh? This is especially suitable for indie or rock concerts or a gig at your local bar by that cool band you\u2019ve been dying to see.

As well as matching them to your keffiyeh, you\u2019ll want to think about the occasion &#8211; for example, you probably don\u2019t want to wear space-themed socks to a formal event such as a wedding or funeral, where more formal, dark-colored socks are likely to be more appropriate.

While it\u2019s true that the shemagh is worn widely across the UAE, it\u2019s increasingly being worn as a stylish accessory by men with beards all over the world! Whether you\u2019re sporting a hipster-style beard or a full, bushy beard, you can wear a keffiyeh and look stylish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In hot weather, your keffiyeh can be tied around your face and beard to protect your beard from sunlight, dust and sand<\/strong>. This not only helps to keep your beard in great condition, it prevents it from being bleached by the sun and damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In cooler countries, or if you\u2019re wearing your keffiyeh as a stylish bandana-style neck scarf rather than wrapped around your face or head, you can add to your hipster style by choosing a neutral colored shemagh in olive green, black or navy blue to go with almost any outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could even pair a dark-colored beanie with your shemagh if you\u2019re wearing it in a colder climate, and this blog post will give you plenty of inspiration on\u00a0<a aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.soxy.com\/blogs\/what-to-wear\/how-to-wear-a-beanie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"rank-math-link\">how to wear a beanie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Outfit_inspiration_for_your_shemagh\"><\/span>Outfit inspiration for your shemagh<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that coming up with inspiration for your outfits can be challenging, so we\u2019ve put together this handy table which should help you pair the right color shemagh with socks, pants and a cool top.

You can get away with wearing your keffiyeh indoors at a gig, concert or in a bar, usually!<\/li><li>Don\u2019t sport a shemagh to a formal event such as a ball, wedding or funeral. These types of accessories are best saved for when you\u2019re traveling or when you want your look to be edgy and on-trend, and are not really suited for formal occasions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_more_shemagh_style_inspiration\"><\/span>Need more shemagh style inspiration?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are loads of instagram accounts out there to follow for style inspo, and bear in mind you can wear a shemagh with almost any outfit.
