A silk scarf is a style staple; you might have seen a LOT of yesteryear Hollywood actress’s rock it on the red carpet, but sadly, this trend never caught on with the masses.

You can use accessories to accentuate your look along with your scarf. A trench coat with a scarf and clutch bag would be an elegant night time look, while a scarf tied on a big floppy hat when worn with a feminine dress would give a very funky-boho feel. You can take that hat off and wear the scarf on your wrist (instead of chunky bracelets or bangles) for a change to make a statement – bold yet girl!
