Don't get us wrong; we love to wrap ourselves in a thick wool scarf come Fall, especially when we're seeking warmth wherever we can get it. But what about your lightweight alternatives — the silk wraps you style with your sundresses all through Summer? After all, they really deserve a permanent spot in your wardrobe, and lately, our favorite style stars can't get enough of them.
Kate Bosworth, Olivia Palermo, Jaime King, Miranda Kerr, and Kate Beckinsale are proof there are plenty of ways to make your scarves feel refreshed. Whether you work them into your fancier ensembles for a night out or use them as decorative embellishment for your outerwear, the looks below feel all the more complete than one that's missing such an easy accessory. Keep reading for five different ways to work this instant, eye-catching update.
Kate Bosworth's Scarf Trick
Kate Bosworth's geometric-print scarf is draped loosely around her neck, making for a luxe update to a totally casual tee. It's striking enough that you don't need to clasp on any jewelry, and it appears totally effortless at the same time.
Olivia Palermo's Scarf Trick
We know — after a while you get tired of throwing on the same everyday coat. Olivia's mixed-material Pierre Louis Mascia scarf is just the solution. Swing it around your back and knot it at your chest to keep your shoulders warm, and we promise your go-to jacket will appear totally different than it did the day before.
Kate Beckinsale's Scarf Trick
Kate Beckinsale's styling trick has little to do with the color of her scarf and depends much more on the way she's tied it. Find a style in a shade that pairs nicely with the rest of your outfit and loop it around your neck. Next, knot up only one side of the sheath, letting the other hang loose. You'll make a smart statement that'll certainly attract a few head turns.
Jaime King's Scarf Trick
Make like Jaime King and wrap a monochrome jersey scarf around your neck for a night out. Play by the rule of threes and complement the accessory with both a bold lip and heels, and you'll add oomph to whatever foundation you're working with. For Jaime, that's a simple gray tank dress.
Miranda Kerr's Scarf Trick
Miranda Kerr shows us how to master print mixing with a quirky-colored scarf. Sport your basic horizontal stripes and find a contrasting design that feels just a little bit crazy — you'll be surprised how quickly an over-the-top pattern becomes a neutral.
