Let’s assume you’re more or less intrigued with the silk scarf/bandana trend like I am.  And let’s also say that you have big plans to wear the thing, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.  Lucky day for you, I’ve taken some time to figure it out.  I got to the bottom of how to wear a silk scarf, but most importantly, how to wear it without looking too fussy or like you’re trying to hard (because let’s face it: that’s the worst).  I’ve deemed it the perfect 3rd piece fashion rule that makes any outfit immediately more interesting, so I’m determined to find ways to make this trend my own. 

Perhaps my favorite part about this trend is that the silk scarf doesn’t have to be a solid pattern or match your outfit—in fact, it looks better if it’s not!  These five styles show that the scarf will be wrapped, tied and knotted, and the detailed patterns basically almost become more-or-less neutrals instead.  Oh and it’s also pretty awesome whenever a hand-me-down from Mom is on trend.  You’ll find some new ones are pricy (I love this one), but you’ll also find a lot under $100 (need this and this). 

Click through what I’ve found are the five best ways to wear a silk scarf in the slideshow above. Let me know how you’re planning on wearing your silk scarf in the comments below!  Cheers, Kat
