Who needs a chic cropped top when you have a silk scarf on hand? In record time, it is tied around the neck and placed over the cleavage to cover up the essentials and tied tightly at the back. In order not to show too much skin, the silk scarf top can be combined with an oversized blazer and high-necked jeans. A look that many supermodels swear by.

This knotting technique also makes a lot of difference – and is very simple! Simply fold the cloth into a ribbon on the longer side and knot it at the chest. Then pull the sides apart a little at the top and bottom and you’re done! The whole thing looks particularly cute when the knotted bandeau top peeks out from under a loose linen blouse. Very cute!

Using the silk scarf as headgear in summer is a real classic. This technique is particularly popular: fold the silk scarf into a triangle. Place the long side on the forehead and strictly knot the two corners together at the back of the head. Depending on the pattern of the cloth, this can look very elegant or casual. Put on your sunglasses and the diva look is ready.

4. Lightning top

If you want to hide your stomach a little more, you can use this knotting technique, which is also very easy. The scarf is folded into a triangle like the headgear. Then the longer side is placed above the chest and the corners of the cloth are tightly knotted on the back. This way of wearing the silk scarf is probably the most popular. Since the focus is on the top, the rest of the look can remain subtle. Straight-leg jeans or Bermuda shorts are perfect combination partners.

In any case, we are thrilled. The silk scarf not only looks cool, but is also really practical. Because who needs a complete summer wardrobe when you have a silk scarf?
