When it comes to my many style influences, they overwhelmingly originate from the many European women that I admire. A quick look at my Who What Wear stories can confirm this. A recent accessory trend that these inspiring women have convinced me to try is a skinny scarf, especially in a longer length. One thing I love about this piece is that it can work year-round with the right styling and choice of scarf fabric.
I rounded up five incredibly chic looks with skinny scarves that can be worn now through fall. They range from formal to casual, which proves just how versatile the accessory truly is. Anything that effortlessly elevates an outfit and can be easily dressed up or down is a much-welcomed quality in my own closet. Keep scrolling to check out and shop each skinny scarf outfit idea—these are too good to not re-create.
