The scarf trend, revisited

The scarf trend, revisited

You were firmly divided as to whether scarves in the summer are rad or ridiculous. Would you feel differently if that square of fabric were wound round your head instead of your neck

Now that the heat – and humidity – are with us for the next three months, there’s nothing like a pretty silk scarf to cover the wild, swollen strands of summer. By day, you can rock it the way Gwyneth Paltrow’s character Marge did in The Talented Mr. Ripley – as a super-glam ponytail holder.

By night, create a chignon effect the way Tyra Banks did here (in a picture from Vogue Italia) by smoothing it over your head and letting the scarf’s tails hang. You can amp up the glam by knotting the scarf’s tails into a bun.
