The Classic Shawl

Sometimes you never know how the weather might change. Drape a light summer shawl over your shoulders so you can wrap it around your neck when the air gets nippy. Fashion influencer Nicole Warne of Gary Pepper Girl fame drapes a gorgeous blue Louis Vuitton shawl over a loose shirt for a look that’s breezy and classy.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

The Small Square Scarf

Also known as a kerchief or bandana, the small square scarf is super versatile. If you want a look that’s more fashionista than milk maid, follow digital art director Erica Choi’s lead and wear it around the neck, like a choker.

The Printed Scarf

Do you have a printed scarf stashed away in your wardrobe because you just can’t seem to match it with your clothes? Or are you afraid you’d look a tad too mum-sy? Tip: Keep the rest of your outfit simple (wear block colours) and use the patterned scarf as an accent. We like how art director and fashion blogger Madelynn Furlong wears her patterned scarf as a headband. It looks fab, and keeps her hair neatly in place.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1205″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”1207″ img_size=”full” alignment=”right”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]

The Sarong

Originating from Southeast Asia, the sarong has made its way to the West and is a fashion essential for beach or poolside parties. Just check out this fierce example above from Nat Rosenfeld Styling. Typically made of lightweight, tropics-friendly fabrics like cotton, rayon or linen blends, sarongs are typically large enough to wrap around the body. Follow this handy guide from Harper’s Bazaar that shows four innovative ways to tie a sarong.

Feeling the heat? Before you slip into your scarf, enjoy an invigorating shower with LUX Aqua Sparkle for a refreshingly perfumed scent.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
