People wear bandanas for many reasons. They can be a stylish accessory to add a pop of color to an outfit. Bandanas are also practical; they can keep hair out of your face, protect your head from the sun, or keep you warm in cooler weather.
Some people wear them as a fashion statement, while others use them for functional purposes like wiping sweat during sports or outdoor activities.
