Sometimes, one accessory is enough to change the whole look. This is exactly what the silk scarf becomes, which this spring 2026 is transformed under the influence of designers' creativity. It can become a top, like at Celine, replace a classic hair tie, like at Toteme, and even turn into an ultra-fashionable bra in the Hermès collection. We have collected 6 new ways to wear a silk scarf right now.
As a separate wardrobe item
The scarf becomes an independent item of clothing: a silk top with bright prints or a long dress, as if made of several scarves, replaces the usual ways of wearing it around the neck or in the hair.

Instead of a hair tie
The scarf makes the ponytail spectacular and elegant, adding poetry to the image, as on the Toteme catwalk, where it was tied with a simple black knot.

On the shoulders
The scarf tied around the shoulders is making a comeback as a decorative element with a retro charm. Jonathan Anderson updated it for Dior, and Miuccia Prada used the scarf to decorate her classic shirt dresses.

Scarf-necklace
If earlier scarves resembled Western-style accessories, today they are becoming sophisticated “fabric jewelry” that can replace gold or silver jewelry, emphasizing femininity.

Like a top
Hermès made the scarf part of the lingerie-style wardrobe: a silk bralette with a colorful print becomes a full-fledged element of the urban look.

On the body
A scarf that falls gently on the skin creates a relaxed effect and instantly emphasizes the silhouette.
