How to style a scarf

What once felt like a nod to vintage style or reserved for high-glam occasions has now shifted into something you actually want to reach for every day.

This season, silk scarves are being worn in a refreshingly effortless yet intentional way. Take actress and ultimate ‘it’ girl, Mia Goth wearing Marni, for example. She paired a cream, silk scarf tied under her chin with oval sunglasses and a bare face, creating a look that feels timeless but completely modern. The juxtaposition and play with texture is sensational.

The silk scarf have moved beyond just being an afterthought; they’re becoming a key player in how the stylish girls are finishing off their outfits. Having a bad hair day that needs disguising?
