Eternal knot: Favoured by high fashion and high street fashion, scarves are here to stay
As any fashionista would vouch for, scarves are the true chameleon among accessories. Made iconic by yesteryear Tinseltown divas like Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn, this most versatile of accessories seems to have stood the test of time and fickle fashion trends much better than others.
Inevitably adding to its appeal is the fact that scarves are truly for all seasons – whether you wrap a cashmere one around your neck during winters or throw a sheer chiffon one over your dress for a summer’s day date. Bestowed with a beguiling versatility, a scarf can glam up an otherwise plain dress or can even act as a sarong on a beach day. Even the dapper gentlemen are not blind to the allure of this humble piece of clothing, with everyone from football star Cristiano Ronaldo to silver-screen heartthrobs like Johnny Depp and Benedict Cumberbatch jauntily sporting the scarf. Not surprisingly then, for the Fall Winter 2018 season, the runways have been awash with this particular accessory, with each brand trying to beat the next in the game of one-upmanship with a plethora of unique styles and combinations, highlighting the scarf. Check out the gallery below for the best scarf looks from this season.
P.S. Just one secret tip from the fashion pundits – lose the infinity scarf already, before it is winter.
