A silk scarf is an incredibly versatile piece that can transform your outfit with just a few simple knots. Play around with different styles to see what works best for your mood and wardrobe.
Silk scarves are the ultimate accessory for Spring/Summer 2025 and can be styled in a number of ways —around the neck and waist, as headwear, or even tied to your handbag. They are also a very easy way to elevate an outfit whether adding a dash of sophistication or just a playful touch.
Blouses and tops with billowy bows are also being seen everywhere right now — they make the perfect demure and ultra feminine statement.
Bows and silk scarves evoke a mix of nostalgia and femininity; and are hot on the heels of the “soft” aesthetics trend. With so many ways to style them here’s our top five knots to try below.
