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.

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!
