Three Ways to Style Summer Scarves
Our sartorial security blanket, the summer scarf is the ultimate wardrobe updater, and this season it has been elevated to street-style-icon status by some of our favourite female stars. Not just for layering up, it has become a focal point in its own right, and adds another dimension to warm-weather dressing.
The Elegantly Waisted
Take a tip from style maven Olivia Palermo and layer a contrasting or complementary printed scarf over a summer dress and belt at the waist for instant chic. We love the way the scarf gives a breezy summer look extra movement – it’s important that the scarf is long enough, so make sure it still has enough length to flow when belted.
The Wrist Wrap
Our favourite street-style supremo, Leandra Medine of The Man Repeller, dons her scarf as a bracelet. Well obviously, and who are we to argue? Perfect for small silk scarves or bandanas, this is the perfect way to add a pop of colour and texture to any outfit.
The Head Scarf
This season’s 1970s bohemian vibe has hit the street-style set head on as we see more and more great interpretations of the era’s key look, the head scarf. Be it as a headband, bandana wrap or full-on turban, we love how this look channels the decade in the most fun and playful way.
