It’s the summer of the neck scarf, folks! Now I will admit, it is a total Fashionista move to ridiculously layer oneself with unnecessary fabrics on a sweltering June day. But, that’s how it goes ladies and gents. We wear crop tops in polar vortexes and make leather shorts our must-haves for the summertime. It may seem like torture, but it’s all in the name of fashion. There are definitely extremities Style Gurus must take to keep up and neck scarves are one of the kinder and chicer options for summer 2016 accessories because of its versatility and fabric that is usually super lightweight. Chokers are so 2015 and our necks were craving some new material, literally. They add spice to an outfit as well as serve outstanding “sophisticated flight-attendant” vibes.
The Fashionista who is in the spotlight today works the neck scarf better than any stewardess in the sky! Actually…forget the flight look, she looks like a chic Parisian who claims she just “threw this on,” which just means she is effortlessly cool and we are unworthy. The neck scarf is the first thing I noticed when spotting this look because it ties the whole outfit together. The hues this Fashionista worked with also are so different to summer, which gives off the impression that she starts trends and doesn’t follow them. The burgundy ankle boots, vintage mustard Coach purse and of course the neck scarf all transform the simple T-shirt dress into a French get-up that is sure to turn heads all without having to feel like you’re brunching in the Saharan sun.
The overall outfit is European-inspired as well as reasonable for the summer weather, which Fashionistas do not hear often. Fashion is not always comfortable, but this neck scarf trend is perfect for these warm months ahead!
How To: Get this neck scarf trend down to a science by investing in a simple T-shirt dress and some killer, colorful accessories that will balance out the scarf statement piece. In no time, you will be slaying the neck game all summer long!
