6 Cute Ways to Style a Silk Scarf
If you’re looking for an unexpected way to add that extra je ne sais quoi to your ensemble, look no further than silk scarves. The classic accessory, often associated with the likes of Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O., has made a notable resurgence among the fashion set, and we’re certainly not upset about it.
Reminiscent of Old Hollywood glamour, it’s easy to see why It girls are bringing this luxe piece back. While your grandma may have loved the elegance of a silk scarf, now it’s an easy piece to instantly up an otherwise simple outfit—not to mention a pop of color if you opt for a more vibrant take on the trend.
Not sure how to wear this stylish add-on? Not to worry, as we’ve got you covered. Worn as a traditional neckerchief or tied over your forehead, this is one versatile piece you won’t get tired of. Take a cue from some of the coolest style stars and shop our favorite silk scarves on the market to put your own spin on the look.
Over Your Hair
Channel that Old Hollywood look and tie your scarf over your hair to protect it from the wind and rain.
Open
Wear your scarf open around your neck to create an elevated but relaxed look to your ensemble.
Side-Tied
Want to add an unexpected element of texture? Tie a smaller silk scarf around your neck to create a Western-inspired look in seconds.
On Your Purse
You don’t have to literally wear your scarf to make use of the trend. Tie your scarves on the handle of your bags to add a pop of color without distracting from your outfit.
Wrapped
Even in the heat, you can wear a silk scarf without getting overwhelmed by the temperature. Wrap yours around your neck for a cool addition to any outfit.
Bandana-Style
If you want to have a clear take on the Western trend this spring, wear your scarf bandana style to give any look you wear a bit of edge.
No matter which way you decide to wear it, these silk scarves are guaranteed to add the coolest flair to your everyday looks.
