The One Accessory That Goes With Everything This Summer

The scarf is the one accessory that goes with everything, and most people are only using it one way. Here's how to get more out of it this summer.

The Scarf You're Not Wearing Enough

Scarves aren't just a fall thing. We know that's the first place your brain goes, but hear us out.

A good lightweight scarf in the summer is one of those accessories that works harder than almost anything else in your closet. It goes on your bag. It becomes a belt. It wraps in your hair. It turns into a top. And it takes up almost no space doing any of it.

Once you start wearing one, it's hard to stop

Why Scarves Work Year-Round

The reason scarves have been around forever isn't just warmth. It's that they're versatile in a way most accessories aren't.

A good one packs flat, doesn't wrinkle, and travels well. Beach trip, weekend getaway, campus walk, gameday: a scarf fits all of it. It adds color and texture without adding bulk, which is exactly what summer dressing calls for. And unlike most statement pieces, it works with pretty much everything already in your closet.

Five Ways to Wear It

On your bag. Tie it around the handle of a tote or crossbody for a quick pop of color. Takes about ten seconds and makes a plain bag look intentional.

As a belt, loop it through your jeans or thread it through the belt loops of a sundress. Works especially well with solid outfits where you want a little extra pizzazz.

In your hair. Tied as a headband, wrapped in a bun, or knotted at the nape of your neck. All three work, and all three look better than they have any right to for the effort involved.

As a top. A larger square scarf tied halter-style or wrapped as a bandeau is a legitimate summer outfit. Not just a beach cover-up. An actual look.

Around your neck. Even in summer. A lightweight silk or cotton scarf worn loosely adds something to a simple tee or button-down without being too warm.

One Piece, A Lot of Outfits

Scarves are the kind of thing people buy once and reach for constantly. You don't have to style them perfectly or commit to one way of wearing them. You try something, it works, you keep doing it. That's the whole appeal.

We've always carried them because our customers keep coming back for them. If you've been sleeping on scarves as a summer accessory, this is a good time to start.
