From runways to street-style, we're seeing them everywhere.
And, while scarves have long been a reliable accessory to add a little flair, a little flourish, and to "finish off" an outfit, the real versatility of the scarf has never been more apparent.
Knotted at the neck or tucked into a pocket, wrapped around bag handles, heads, wrists and ankles, worn as a top, or a belt, or a skirt – or just as a a scarf !! – you are only limited by your imagination.
Here's our step-by-step How To: Style a Scarf.
The Scarf Top:
Fold a silk squares into halter or bandeau top – pair with smart tailoring, layer over a crisp button down or a tee shirt. Or, get two scarves and tie them together on each of the corners to create a square top.
Hip and Waist Ties:
Scarves are being wrapped multiple times around the waist as belts or tied over trousers and skirts to exaggerate silhouettes.
Skirts / sarongs:
Take it to the next level and construct your entire outfit from scarves.
Retro Head Scarves:
Folding a silk scarf into a triangle and tying it under the chin or at the nape, often paired with oversized sunglasses, channels a certain vintage glamor.
A Little Accent:
Tying small scarves tightly around wrists or ankles, or looping them through or around your handbag handles adds a little whimsy or texture to outfits.
Take it to the next level and replace your bag strap with a scarf (secure it tightly!)
Skinny and Tassel Scarves:
Skinny scarves and tassel-trimmed styles add effortless charm to basic tees and denim.
Wear one around your waist, looped around your bag, or neck for those Y2K vibes, or replace the belt from your favourite trench for a unique personalised look.
Other fun out-of-the box ideas:
Fold a large scarf into a triangle and wear it cross-body.
