BEGINNER $18.50 , J.Crew; www.jcrew.com. Looks like a scarf first like a headband. The wider the better, as it can be worn over the hairline for a super-fresh take on a retro style.

INTERMEDIATE $84, Colette Malouf; (888) 774-2424. Arts-and-crafts appliqué and whimsical floral hardly restrain locks but do accent a modern, romantic updo. A few strands falling here and there look divine.

ADVANCED $58, Marc by Marc Jacobs; (323) 653-0100. Tied in the back, it’s Axl Rose. In front, it’s ‘20s It girl. Sturdier fabrics, like quilted cotton or denim, are best as keeping their shape.

GRAD SCHOOL $17.50, American Eagle Outfitters; www.ae.com. Can’t get enough layering? Slap a cap on top of a funky scarf-either left loose or knotted. Mix it up: metallics with neutrals, florals with white.
