The classic silk scarf is getting an update this season, and if you're looking for an unexpected way to add a touch of sophistication and graphic intrigue to your ensemble this season, and you're still uncertain about which trendy pieces to invest in to update your closet, look no further than the classic silk scarf. The tried-and-true accessory, once made famous by the likes of such fashion icons as Jackie O., Brigitte Bardot, and Marilyn Monroe, has made a notable resurgence among the fashion set in recent seasons, and it appears the trend isn't going anywhere just yet.

Of course, as designers and street-style stars have demonstrated time and time again, there's more than just one way to wear this stylish add-on. Whether it's styled as a retro headwrap "à la Dior" or as a chic bracelet or belt, there is no shortage of chic styling options when it comes to this versatile accessory. To help get you started, I curated the top edit guide on how to style silk scarves for the ultimate new season update.

See and copy the best styles below! The best part of it? you don't even need to buy new pieces, it will be enough to re-invent new styles for the ones you have already in your closet.

1) The Silk Head scarf: paired with either a fitted, monochromatic blazer, or a summery slip-dress, the scarf works as a dynamic addition for a juxtaposed, edgy look. 

How-to-tie-it: Grab two diagonal corners of your scarf and fold it in half into a triangle. Next, drape it over your head, so that the long edge of the triangle is flat across your forehead. Taker the two ends back to the nape of the neck and tie them together with a knot so that the ends fall gently down your back, as shown in Dior FW 20 catwalk.

2) The Scarf-as-Hair-Accessory: combined with a feminine pleated skirt and a simple top, this easy-to-achieve look is revered and loved by the fashion set everywhere. 

How-to-tie-it: if you're working with a square scarf, start by taking one corner of your scarf and folding it in diagonally, until you're left with. along skinny silhouette. take both ends and wrap the scarf underneath your ponytail or around your bun and gently secure it with a knot. For extra hold, secure the sides of the scar with hair pins where needed.

3) The Scarf-as-a-Necklace: this chic way to wear a silk scarf is wonderful in Spring, if combined with a neutral-toned suede jacket and trousers for the ultimate contemporary suiting option to wear during the workweek and even beyond. 

How-to-tie-it: drape the scarf around your neck with one end extended farther over one shoulder. Wrap the longer end around your neck twice before jauntily tying the two ends together, letting the extra fabric fall loosely for a hint of insouciant luxury.

4) The Silk Scarf Belt: this way of wearing the silk scarf in place of a traditional belt, is an unexpected way to elevate your daily edit. Teamed with your favourite, go-to pair of off-duty denim, a transitional, evergreen trench, a basic, white tee, and stylish hat, consider another new edgy outfit. 

How-to-tie-it: tie the scarf (a long, skinny or rectangular style is best) around your waist or gently thread it through the belt loops of your pants. leave the ends untied to add a relaxed yet polished finish to everyday looks.

5) The Silk Scarf Bracelet: a silk scarf featuring a long, slim body, finished edges can be worn as a bracelet around the wrist for the perfect pop of colour against the skin, especially if combined with a denim top and fitted trousers for a look that is nothing short of thrès chic. 

How-to-tie-it: using a small square scarf, start by folding it diagonally into a long, skinny rectangle. Taking both ends, wrap the scarf around the top of your wrist so that both ends are equal in length. Next, take one end and wrap it once around your wrist. Repeat using the other end going in the opposite direction. Secure it with a knot and voilà!

6) The Nouveau Scarf Top: choose a graphic, or monogram silk scarf as a top paired with minimalist accessories and loungewear/cargo pants for a street-style maven-approved look. 

How-to-tie-it: for a quick and easy option, take a large square scarf and fold it in half diagonally. wrap the long end of the scarf aound your chest and secure it in back with a knot.

7) The scarf-as-Bag Strap: that's no better way to elevate your everyday, understated bag with an eye-catching pop of colour and print, for days when you just need an extra "je ne sais quoi". 

How-to-tie-it: add a sinuous sense of dimension to your tried-and-true bag by winding your silk scarf evenly around the handle or tying it around just one end of the strap. Let the fabric hang down dramatically for a fluid finishing touch.

Now it's up to you to try the best style that suits you...
