NEW WAYS TO WEAR A SCARF
If you’re new to the world of scarf styling, the humble silk square is so much more than a simple neckerchief. A street style staple across fashion capitals from Copenhagen to Paris, this Mimco mainstay is one of the most versatile pieces you can invest in for year-round accessorising.
Need a few pointers on how to style a scarf? You’re in luck.
This season, we’ve put together a guide on how to wear a scarf in fresh, unexpected ways that go beyond the basics. Read on to discover some genius new ways to tie a scarf and get even more styling mileage out of this timeless staple.
HOW TO: TIE A SCARF ON YOUR BAG
One of team Mimco’s favourite ways to wear scarves? On handbags, of course.
We’ll admit it — we’re a little biased (have you seen ours?). But we’re not alone. Scarves as bag accessories have been trending on runways for seasons now.
For an instant refresh, wrap your bag handle and knot at either end — or go for a voluminous knot at the base for a classic, luxury-inspired finish.
HOW TO: WEAR A SILK SCARF ON-BODY
Beyond the silk square-as-strapless-top trend that’s dominated Euro summer styling for over a decade, there are so many ways to wear a scarf as a clothing accessory.
Our favourites? Fold and wrap a large silk square, tying it at your hips as a belt; thread it through the back loops of your jacket or trench in place of a traditional belt; or simply knot it at your wrist for a playful pop in your bangle stack.
An instant elevation.
HOW TO: STYLE A SCARF IN YOUR HAIR
Tying your Mimco scarf at the nape of your neck, bandana-style, is one of the quickest ways to add a touch of free-spirited, bohemian charm to any casual outfit. But why stop there?
Weave it through a braid and secure with a hair elastic, fold it into a long, slender strip to wear as a headband, or tie it beneath your chin over a baseball cap for a statement-making, it-girl edge.
Bonus: loop it through the arms of your sunglasses and knot at either end to create a chic, makeshift strap.
