NYC label In God We Trust has crafted a scarf that is sassy and equally subtle.

Meant to be worn as a [headscarf, pocket square or neckerchief](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mozzarella-stick-scarf), the 'F U Bandana' displays a [common curse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/youll-swear-by-them) worse repeatedly through the accessory. From a distance, the scarf looks as if it is decorated with an intricate patterning done in a checkered design. Upon close inspection, wearers are to realize that the decorative squares are not squares at all but actually the phrase "f*ck you" written in a deceptive font.

Available in white or navy and made of 100% cotton, In God We Trust's 'F U Bandana' allows wearers to say how they really feel without actually saying it.
