Wear This Elegant Accessory With Pants This Summer If You Want To Look Expensive
Coming up with unique outfits can be difficult when you live in New York City, like I do. There’s always someone walking past you looking effortlessly elegant. But there are certain trends that can add that extra oomph to an outfit that sets it apart. And the Summer I Turned Pretty star Lola Tung just wore one of them. Wear a scarf with your pants instead of a belt.
The actress was recently spotted in midtown while promoting the new season of the series in a full Coach outfit. The heat didn’t stop her from choosing to wear a pair of patterned trousers with her tank top, and with it a monogrammed Coach silk scarf tied around her waist. She completed her look with a sustainable, upcycled Alter/Ego bag from the label’s latest sustainability endeavor, Coachtopia. Wearing a scarf as a belt has become a major trend this season because it adds an unexpected, rich feel to a look, even if you’re just wearing a plain white tank top and pants.
If you’re looking for a way to elevate your basic outfits like Tung’s, keep scrolling to see her styling and shop cool scarves to wear as belts.
On Lola Tung: Coach Ribbed Script Tank Top ($45), Wide Leg Patterned Trousers ($148), Textured Signature Print Silk Square Scarf ($95), and Alter/Ego Small Shoulder Bag($225)
