Scarves are having a serious style revival, and we have Michael Rider’s Celine debut to thank. The collection was a considered nod to the Philo-era. Silk accents came down the Celine runway styled in effortlessly chic ways: draped across the chest, tucked into a jacket, or nonchalantly slung over the shoulder—très elegant. Off the catwalk, BTS’s V gave the trend his stamp of approval, looping printed scarves through his belt loops for a layered twist.
And that’s just one way to wear them. Wrap one over your head à la Audrey Hepburn, tie it tightly as a sleek halter top, or knot it around your handbag for a flash of colour. Whether you’re dressing for pared-back streetwear, airport ease, or a couture-level soirée, the scarf proves itself a true wardrobe all-rounder. This summer, it’s the simplest and most effective way to inject personality into your look. So, pull out that silk square, tie it on and let it lead your look.
Ahead, see our edit of the most luxurious scarves for every style sensibility.
Logo Language
For the brand devotees, a scarf is a statement of fluency in house codes and heritage. Monograms and logos become visual shorthand, tracing the legacy of maisons with every fold and drape. If you love a little logo-on-logo action, these are pieces that were made for you. Whether you’re layering them over a blazer for work or knotting one around your waist for the weekend, they add instant polish—and unmistakable brand energy—to any look.
Botanical Drapes
For the soft dressers, nature lovers, or anyone looking to bring a little calm into their wardrobe, these botanical-inspired designs add a delicate, grounded touch. They pair beautifully with linen, denim, and knitted basics—and are especially at home on sunny days, garden walks, or relaxed brunches. Carry a slice of outdoor serenity wherever you go with these picks.
Once Upon a Twill
Some scarves adorn, but these narrate. With every motif and border, they convey stories rooted in culture, craft, or pure imagination. With each asymmetrical drape, there are scenes and codes to uncover at every fold. Each one feels like a conversation starter, ideal for elevating simple outfits with a sense of depth and curious charm. Ideal for the sentimental dresser or collector at heart, these are silks worth lingering over.
Silent Statements
Minimalists, meet your new favourite add-on. We understand—not every statement needs to be shouted. In quiet tones and clean lines, these scarves offer just the right amount of refinement. Subtle embellishments and neutral prints make them ideal for office days, travel fits, or anytime you want to look put-together without having to yell from the rooftops.
Showstopper Prints
Fret not, maximalists. We haven’t forgotten you. We get the desire to turn heads. Here, prints clash, patterns spark, and silence simply doesn’t exist. These bold, pattern-heavy scarves bring energy, exuberance, and just the right touch of chaos. Throw one over a monochrome ensemble for a splash of colour, or layer print on print if subtlety’s never been your language. Either way, you won’t go unnoticed.
