Three STYLISH Scarf Moves to Elevate Your Summer Wardrobe
You’ve got a schedule that doesn’t pause for outfit changes. But a single scarf in your closet can add that extra it-girl edge to any classic summer look. This summer, there are three scarf trends that every fashion-savvy person is into when it comes to silk scarves. Let’s dive into silk scarves, scarf-as-belts, and bandana headscarves. You’ll see how the biggest names in fashion are using them, where to grab the best options today, and why these pieces prove you’re always on top of trends.
The Comeback of the Silk Scarf
Silk scarves are and will always be a classic accessory. They carry a runway heritage that speaks of elegance and refined taste. When you drape one over your shoulders or knot it at your neck, you’re tapping into decades of style authority. In 2025, they’re back, but with fresh spins. We have seen multiple brands from Hermes to Pucci, Gucci, Anthrolpologie and others, give us standout silk prints for the season.

You have probably seen many celebrities rocking the silk scarf look in various ways, which has naturally led to a significant increase in searches for “silk scarf” across retailers. One easy way to lean into the look is by folding it into a triangle, knotting it once at the front, and letting the ends peek out under a blazer or a summer linen shirt. It’s effortless, yet undeniably polished. We would also be happy to show you how you can incorporate more silk scarf looks and create a more polished style overall with our signature style makeover.

2. Why Scarf Belts Are Your Secret Weapon
One scarf trend that is being driven by celebrity culture a lot more than most is the scarf belt trend. Kyle Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, Alexa Chung and Lola Tung are just a few celebrities who have been spotted in the look, albeit all worn the same way.
If you want to signal, you know the details that elevate an outfit; style it differently, folded into a long, rectangular shape and threaded through your belt loops. Knot off-center. Paired with a tailored dress, shirt dress or classic trousers. Take it up a notch with a chain belt over. You can also try these curated shoppable looks from our stylists.
3. Bandana Headscarves: Small Accessory, Big Impact
Bandanas aren’t just for the beach, and this is your sign to add them to your style rotation. A compact square in silk-blend or cotton adds a pop of pattern without overwhelming the outfit. You’ve seen style editors knot them at the nape of the neck, letting ends trail behind oversized sunglasses and a baseball cap. For quick styling, fold into a thin band, wrap once around your hairline, and knot at the back. Or tie it around your bag handle for a hint of personality.
