Silk scarves were never really off the window – but they weren't really there either. Until now: The slightly dusty silk handkerchief, as we stole it from grandmother's closet earlier, is back and thanks to countless styling variations has become an it-piece.
Guilty! So far we have absolutely underestimated the silk scarf. But we are newly in love with the classic accessories – thanks to the styling inspirations of the designers and fashionistas! Not convinced yet? Then see how changeable the retro trend is. We tell you the most important hacks around the silk scarf, with which you can upgrade any outfit in seconds.
As a dress
Altuzarra revives the silk scarf trend in this all-over look. Influencer Stefanie Helen also gives her Hermès scarves a second life in the form of a tunic. Simply sew two matching or even identical pieces together on the sides – voilà! The summer look is ready.
As a top
Styling variant number 2 is at least as creative: Why not simply convert your silk scarf into a top? Not only does it look super cool, it also feels nice and cool on the skin in hot temperatures. We like!
As a cape
Something more avant-garde and at the same time super simple is Burberry: The British fashion company dispenses with complicated binding techniques and simply styles the silk scarf as a cape. A look that we can particularly well imagine in the office or in the evening.
As a belt
It couldn't be easier: tied as a belt, colorful silk scarves can be used to enhance an otherwise clean outfit that is super easy. Tip: If you don't have a suitable belt buckle at hand, you can simply knot your cloth casually and drape the ends on the side.
As a bracelet
Sweet! Who would have thought that a small bandana could replace our jewelry? The look is particularly harmonious if you choose the color of the cloth to match your other accessories.
à la Grace Kelly as a headscarf
We have a fashionable déjà vu! Instagram stars, models, actors or the girl next door: everyone is currently tying silk scarves around their heads like stars from the old Hollywood ranks once did. With casual, unstyled hair, the look doesn't look bourgeois at all, but very cool. The only thing missing is the convertible …
Classic
And of course the It-Piece also works in the very classic version: loosely tied around the neck. Designer Sue Giers proves that this must be anything but boring. The material mix of leather pants and silk does it. And men can also dare something and grab a silk handkerchief. With the currently ultra-trendy logo prints, like here at Burberry, the accessories classic looks anything but dusty.
