The scarf in your hair is the trend of the moment. In a bold style, the silk square is the couture detail that gives you an airy look. Moreover, there are several ways to style the scarf in your hair. You can either place it at the tip of a loose braid for a poetic effect, around a bun or ponytail, on a low chignon, or in a retro manner. The scarf in your hair is about being carefree, but with style! Don’t hesitate to pair this accessory with a lovely floral spring dress or a white linen shirt for contrast.

Switch things up by wrapping your favorite scarf around your wrist. Like a bracelet, this fashion accessory does the job perfectly. Make sure to choose one that’s small enough so it doesn’t overpower. Pair it with a blazer, and you’re guaranteed to nail the Officewear look.
