The Scarf Is The Most Versatile Accessory You Need

THE STATEMENT PIECE

1/11

Pleated silk scarf, cotton vest, cotton pants, and leather clogs, Hermes

Make a novel scarf – pleated, in cashmere mix or embroidered, and preferably in a maxi size – the centrepiece of your look.

THE CLASSIC WAY

2/11

Linen blazer, knit top (worn underneath), linen culottes, silk scarf, leather bag, and leather flats, Salvatore Ferragamo

One of the easiest ways to wear a scarf is as a neck tie. Opt for one in a contrasting colour to create a focal point to your ensemble.

Always start with a basic fold – meet the opposite diagonal points to the middle of the scarf, before folding the long edges to give you those nice corners at the ends.

JAPANESE OBI STYLE

3/11

Cashmere coat, leather skirt, Lozange silk scarf, silk and cashmere scarf (as the wide base), silk scarf (on top), and leather clogs, Hermes

This may look advanced, but it’s actually simpler than it looks. All you have to do is combine two contrasting scarves of different sizes, and tie them on top of each other.

The trick is to twist. After you fold the scarf into the basic fold, twist it to create a slimmer line, before using the scarf as a belt.

THE BELT

4/11

Wool jacket, wool skorts, silk scarf, Caro leather bag, and leather mules, Dior

Wear it as a belt over a blazer in a plain colour to accentuate your waist, while breathing new life into an otherwise plain jacket.

UTILITARIAN COOL

5/11

Cotton jumpsuit, and mock croc belt and pouches, Longchamp. Silk scarves (on neck and wrists), and leather clogs, Hermes

Think farm chic as fashion. Wear a scarf as a neck piece on top of a jumpsuit to capture the SS ’21 utilitarian trend.
