I see them on other people and they look amazing but I tried one from Accessorize (dark brown with gold stripe, really pretty) and I just looked like a pirate. Any advice on wearing them/what suits?

Thanks

Try getting a 'thin' one - so it's long but quite thin. This way you can where it more like a head band and tie it at the back of your head so it goes over your shoulders.
This might sound digusting but bright colours make them look really summery and quirky.
