It’s no secret that neutral colours and fashion basics are popular because they are timeless, easy to style, and promise to stretch your wardrobe due to their versatility. Did you know that the best (and often the simplest) way to elevate these neutrals and basics is to add a pop of colour? Adding a few pieces of trending colour to your closet is one of the easiest ways to stay current while making a statement without saying a word. Right now, golden orange is our favourite trending colour to wear this season! Orange is a naturally uplifting colour that provides a youthful glow to anyone willing to embrace it. We’ll show you several styles from our French Flair collection in this happy, trending colour to make your next outfit a standout.

Elegant blazer, cozy T-shirt and airy culottes

Sporty Stripes of Sunshine

One of the easiest ways to subtly introduce orange into your wardrobe is with stripes!
For a toned-down injection of this trending orange shade, opt for a sporty striped pullover like this one from our French Flair collection, where its vibrance is neutralized against canvas beige. Made with a high content of viscose, it is lightweight enough to layer on top of a shirt for a smart, polished look.
An unexpected yet exciting colour twist on leopard print presents itself when denim blue shades are accented with golden orange on a classic button-up shirt. The cotton-viscose blend ensures that it is comfortable and soft against the skin, making it an ideal underpinning.
The look is complete with a power stretch jean – these ones made with sustainable REPREVE®. Power stretch jeans are an Olsen fan favourite because they comfortably fit your body for all day ease-of-wear while retaining their shape. What makes these ones particularly special is the detail – take a closer look and you’ll notice a micro leo print on the inside hem of the pant leg, super-cute on days you choose to turn up the hem of your jeans to a cropped length to showcase the print.
Colour Harmony Tip: Since orange and blue sit opposite on the colour wheel, they are complementary colours so combining them results in an overall harmonious look. For end-of-summer evenings or early autumn mornings when a chill is in the air, this eco-friendly quilted car coat in coronet blue is the perfect topper to this look.

Boldly Juice Up Dark Shades

If you’re someone who has a closet full of dark colours like black or navy, an easy way to add a bold dose of colour to your look is with a solid golden orange jacket.
Level up your look with colour and texture thanks with this mixed media jacket. The quilted nylon at the front combines with the soft jersey knit at the sleeves and back, making it a convenient piece for anyone looking to balance colour on an otherwise muted outfit.
Its bomber-styling, complete with metallic accents, provides a youthful and modern spin to any ensemble. The fun doesn’t stop there, as you can still wear your dark colours in a bold pattern. This lightweight top combines ink blue and canvas beige to create an eye-catching standout pattern. It is lightweight and airy on the skin thanks to its eco-friendly LENZING™ ECOVERO™ make. Comfort doesn’t end when this look is completed with a pull-on pant. The drawstring waistband is our favourite because it provides ease in getting into the pants. Made with a stretch-friendly jersey knit, movement comes naturally.

Mix of beige and khaki

Florals That Make You Bloom

If orange in solid or stripes is not your thing and a softer more feminine aesthetic is more your style, opt to incorporate orange with an abstract floral t-shirt.
Pink and canvas beige meet golden orange to create a fun, abstract floral pattern on this artsy tee. A drawstring at the waistband allows you to customize the fit and it’s eco-friendly, made with LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres. This makes it sustainable, lightweight and perfect for the summer.
Pairing it with solid separates in canvas beige really make the pattern the hero of this look without being too overwhelming. A sweater hoodie and wide-leg trouser strike the perfect balance between neutral solid and statement tee.

Don’t shy away from adding golden orange to your wardrobe this season. Whether through subtle stripes, bold solids or statement floral patterns, this vibrant colour can bring warmth, energy, and a youthful exuberance to your style. By incorporating orange into your outfits, you’ll not only elevate your look but also radiate positivity and confidence. So go ahead, embrace the orange glow, and let your personality shine through every ensemble.

Mother’s Day is quickly approaching, and we’re excited to bring smiles to the faces of mothers everywhere. What better gift than the gift of quality time? We’ve curated four ideas for mother-daughter activities, along with coordinating looks from our Pure Vibrance and Modern Utility collections.

Pink outfit for a Sunday brunch in a café

Sunday brunch at the café

Indulge in a delightful Mother’s Day Sunday brunch to celebrate your mother in style. Whether you choose a cozy café patio with a view of nature or opt for sunny weather overlooking the city, it’s the perfect setting. Coordinate your outfits in pink for the occasion! Our lightweight plaid t-shirt dress offers effortless style, while the plaid cropped jacket provides a shorter silhouette for those who prefer it. The vibrant colours of the plaid jacket make a bold fashion statement, especially when paired with white culottes and a pink blouse.

Art or craft workshop

If you’re feeling creative, a craft workshop like painting ceramics, making jewelry, or taking a pottery class would be perfect for you! Embrace the trendy utilitarian style for this outing. If you prefer skirts, our khaki skirt offers stretch for comfort and pairs well with the denim rolled tab sleeve shirt. For those who prefer pants, the second look features denim trousers paired with a plain white T-shirt and topped with a stylish linen jacket in khaki.

Trendy utilitarian style for an art or craft workshop
The same T-shirt styled differently for a trip to an art exhibition or museum

Visit to a museum or exhibition

A museum or art exhibition is a fantastic idea on a rainy day, especially for art lovers. It’s the perfect opportunity to learn something new and find inspiration while spending quality time together. Style the same allover floral print T-shirt in two different ways for fun and complementary looks. You can be an eye-catcher when the floral t-shirt is paired with the vibrant red blazer and pant set, or let the floral t-shirt steal the show when paired with neutral pants and a jacket.

City stroll

Do you both enjoy strolling through the city, admiring beautifully designed shop windows, and taking breaks in cute cafés? Then a leisurely stroll through the city together is the perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day. For comfort during movement, an elegant dress featuring charming graphic florals would be an ideal outfit. Alternatively, coordinating a skirt in the same print with a white T-shirt and a white jersey jacket is equally stylish and comfortable.

In the midst of summer’s warm embrace, there’s an undeniable allure in dressing comfortably while still exuding an air of timeless elegance. Picture yourself in a sunlit office, the gentle breeze carrying whispers of freedom through the open windows. In such moments, these outfits become more than mere attire—they become embodiments of refined comfort and effortless charm.

Elegant blazer, cozy T-shirt and airy culottes

Effortless Elegance

Envision yourself slipping into the embrace of wide-leg culottes, crafted from the softest blend of cotton and linen. Their airy fabric whispers against your skin, offering a sensation of pure luxury. With an elastic waistband gently hugging your figure, every movement feels like a graceful dance, unrestricted by the confines of traditional office wear.

Layered atop these culottes is a pique blazer, its tailored silhouette a testament to timeless sophistication. As you fasten the buttons and feel the cotton blend gently mold to your form, there’s a sense of empowerment in knowing that comfort and style need not be mutually exclusive.
Completing the ensemble is a burnout t-shirt, its subtle floral pattern reminiscent of a blooming garden in the golden light of summer. With dolman sleeves delicately turned up and a pleated neckline framing your collarbones, this t-shirt is a whisper of femininity against the backdrop of structured elegance.
Accessorize this ensemble with a delicate pendant necklace, its understated charm adding a touch of refinement to the look. Slip into a pair of nude ballet flats for effortless chic, their comfort complementing the relaxed sophistication of the outfit.

Casual Sophistication

Imagine yourself adorned in an allover print shirt, the abstract patterns swirling like poetry across a canvas of pure viscose. As you button it up and feel the fabric drape effortlessly against your skin, knowing that comfort can be as captivating as it is chic.
Layered atop this statement piece is a linen jacket, its minimalist is clean and provides understated elegance. With each movement, the breathable fabric makes it the perfect companion for sun-drenched afternoons in the office.

Paired with wide-leg linen pants, these trousers are a testament to the timeless allure of simplicity. With an elasticized waistband offering freedom of movement and deep front pockets adding a touch of functionality, these pants are comfort and style intertwining in perfect harmony.
Accessorize this ensemble with a woven belt, its earthy tones complementing the natural elegance of linen. Try leather sandals for a touch of laid-back sophistication, their effortless style adding a hint of summer flair to the look.

Mix of beige and khaki
Feminine dress in a summery print with cardigan in fiery red

Effortlessly Chic

For our last look, picture a floral print midi dress, made of viscose fabric providing a flattering drape. The soft shoulder pads provide a gentle embrace, while the ruching detail adds depth and texture.
Layered atop this dress is a fine gauge cardigan with a classic open front design. Crafted from a blend of viscose, this cardigan offers both warmth and breathability in equal measure.

Accessorize this look with delicate drop earrings, their shimmering accents catching the light with every movement. Slip into a pair of espadrille wedges for a touch of effortless sophistication, their woven texture adding a hint of rustic charm to the ensemble.

With these looks, comfort and style intertwine while carefully chosen accessories add a touch of personality and sophistication. In the heat of summer, they offer comfort from the sun without compromising on style or allure, making them perfect for the days of summer in the office.

Spring is finally just around the corner and with it new, breathtaking trends that will give your wardrobe a spring-like freshness. Our designers have put together the most important trends of this year’s spring/summer season for you. Look forward to wonderful color trends, feminine prints and modern cuts.

Floral splendor: floral patterns

Spring without flowers? Unimaginable! Flowers in all shapes and sizes adorn T-shirts, dresses, blouses etc. Treat yourself to the luxury of a floral splendor and let nature inspire you as you start the warm season in style. Floral patterns add a romantic accent and give every outfit a fresh touch. Whether large floral prints or delicate floral embroidery – bring spring to life with a touch of romance.

Pastel parade: delicate shades for a fresh look

Pastel colors dominate the season and lend your outfit a soft elegance. The palette of soft shades ranges from mint green and rosé to delicate lavender, creating a fresh and romantic look. The delicate pastel colors are not only totally on trend, but also express a touch of lightness. Whether you opt for a complete pastel ensemble or integrate individual pieces in these shades – this trendy look is sure to turn heads this season.

Sustainable fashion: eco-chic

Sustainable styles are particularly on trend this season. Opt for environmentally friendly styles and make a statement for more conscious consumption. Choose garments made from TENCEL™ modal, recycled materials such as REPREVE® or innovative, environmentally friendly fabrics such as LENZING™ ECOVERO™ to do something good for our planet.

Jungle flair: animal prints in new interpretations

Leopard patterns and zebra stripes are experiencing a creative makeover this season. Mix and match different animal prints for a stylish jungle look or make a fashion statement with an eye-catching animal print dress. The jungle look is versatile and adds an extra dose of style to any look.

Wide leg pants: comfort meets elegance

Wide-leg pants are the epitome of comfort and style. Whether palazzo pants, culottes or wide Marlene pants – this trend offers endless possibilities. Opt for lightweight fabrics and flowing cuts to flatter your legs and give your look a relaxed elegance. Pants with a wide leg not only look stunning, but also offer plenty of comfort. Pair them with a slim top for the perfect balance – a tribute to casual elegance.

Not So Classic: classics reinterpreted

Classic pieces get a contemporary upgrade. Whether a newly designed shirt blouse or a modern interpretation of the blazer – this trend goes beyond the usual boundaries of classic garments and inspires innovative looks that celebrate the mix of past and present. A charming feature of this trend is the variety of interpretations. From unexpected cuts and eye-catching patterns to surprising combinations of materials, “Not So Classic” allows you to reinvent classic pieces and add a refreshing touch to your style.

Utility style: practical and stylish at the same time

Cargo pants, practical pockets and robust materials are not only extremely functional, but also extremely trendy. With this trend, you can spice up your look with a pinch of adventure without sacrificing style. Discover the aesthetics of utility clothing and focus on practical details that make your look not only functional but also extremely stylish.

Seaside Vacation: Maritime influences

This trend takes us on a fashionable journey to the seaside, inspired by the relaxed atmosphere of sun-drenched coasts. It brings the vacation flair directly into our wardrobe and opens up a world of maritime influences that stand for a fresh and light style. Whether you are actually on the coast or simply want to incorporate the flair of the sea into your everyday life, this fashion trend allows for effortless elegance for any occasion. A striped shirt with white trousers is perfect for a relaxed day at the beach, while a breezy dress with nautical accessories is also suitable for social occasions.

As we embrace the 2023 fall/winter season, our anticipation for snug and stylish fashion intensifies. This year, we highlight our well-loved knitwear, from sweaters, cardigans, and knit dresses. High-quality knits dominate our wardrobe, effortlessly transitioning from the golden hues of autumn to the icy winter and into the gentler embrace of spring.

The basics

Diverse design options contribute to the uniqueness of knitwear. The fundamental contrast lies in coloured versus plain knitwear. Beyond basic stripes, vibrant knitwear is crafted through two primary techniques: Jacquard and intarsia knitting.

Jacquard

Michelle, Merchandise Planner & Allocator, Olsen Germany

Jacquard in knitwear typically involves small-scale patterns, like the lively allover arrangement, where intricate designs are densely placed. Terms such as “Fair Isle” and “Norwegian” jacquards describe row arrangements or all-round patterns.

Intarsia

Michelle in her office.

In contrast, intarsia features large-scale patterns or specific motifs, such as the iconic argyle or Burlington diamond. Unlike jacquard, intarsia maintains consistent color on both sides of the fabric.

Plain-colored knitted pieces offer diverse textures. Two popular techniques include:

 

Cable knit

Michelle in her monochrome pink look.

Originating from farm and sailor sweaters, these thick, untreated wool structures provided insulation in cold, damp climates. Also known as “Aran Stitches,” many cable patterns have roots in the Irish Aran Islands. Symbolic and rich in stories, the intertwined rope pattern signifies safety at sea, while the diamond pattern represents a promise of prosperity and success.

Ajour knit

Michelle in her monochrome pink look.

The term “ajour,” derived from French meaning “openwork,” originated in the late 19th century for fishnet stockings. Today, ajour structures lend sweaters and cardigans a stylish lightness, with finely knitted patterns exuding elegance, and coarser yarns providing a modern touch. Characterized by rhythmic sequences of structured areas, holes, and bars, this technique offers various design possibilities.

Knitwear all year round

While knitwear is often associated with cooler seasons, it’s versatile enough for spring and summer. With slight difference, the distinction will help you pick correctly between winter knitwear and summer knitwear.

Winter knitwear

In fall and winter, cozy and heat-retaining yarn blends, such as merino and alpaca wool, tend to be used. Other components such as viscose, cotton and polyacrylic make these yarns easier to care for and more skin-friendly.

Winter knitwear also differs from summer knitwear in terms of colour. In the autumn/winter season, more muted colors are often used than in spring/summer. Typical winter yarns such as wool are also particularly suitable for mélanges in natural shades such as gray or beige. In addition to the yarns and colours, there are also typical styles for this time of year that differ from summer knitwear, such as turtleneck sweaters, pullovers and thick cardigans.

Summer knitwear

Thinner and lighter yarns or yarn blends are used in the spring/summer season. Typical summer yarns often contain a high proportion of linen, viscose, cotton or even bamboo fibers. Ribbon yarn is also often used for summer knitwear. This is not a round spun yarn, but rather a yarn construction that is a fine, flat ribbon. This binds the fiber more tightly and holds it together, creating an airy, cooling effect.

Summer yarns usually use strong, bright and fresh colours. Typical summer patterns also often appear as airy ajour knits.”

Benefits of knitwear

Knitwear not only looks great, is always on trend but also offers several other valuable benefits. Here are the most important advantages of trendy knitwear:

  • Easy care: doesn’t require frequent washing and minimal ironing.
  • Allergy-Friendly: Natural fibers like cotton and linen are gentle on the skin with low allergy potential.
  • Breathable: Merino yarns act as a natural air conditioner, absorbing and releasing moisture.
  • Heat storage: In winter, merino yarns efficiently store heat.

Knitwear combinations for every occasion

Explore the endless pairing options that knitwear offers, seamlessly blending with various fabrics and textures. Here are three inspiring combinations to spark your creativity.

Which of the three outfits is your favorite look?

Everyone has their wardrobe favourite and ours is from our VIVID COLOUR collection. This trending pink colour takes over a warm, long line vest perfect for transitional wear. Our two team members, Michelle from Germany and Zuzanna from Poland will share how they like to style this trendy vest.

Michelle, Merchandise Planner & Allocator, Olsen Germany

Michelle, Merchandise Planner & Allocator, Olsen Germany

Hello, I’m Michelle and have been the Merchandise Planner & Allocator at Olsen since July 1, 2023. Although I am a fashion lover and love working with fashion, my job involves more numbers than fashion. I enjoy working with numbers because they are clear, concise and solution based. This allows me to make solutions and adjustments to plan for a successful following year.

In addition to the tasks of my role, I enjoy the work environment here at Olsen. It is great that everything happens in-house, which means I can be a part of different things from design to marketing. Since I studied fashion management, I’m interested in all the departments that Olsen has to offer.

I’ve fallen in love with the VIVD COLOUR collection, not only because I am a huge fan of the colour pink but also because pink is the trending colour of the year! Of course I had to join the Barbiecore trend and pull out a monochromatic look. This layered look is practical for the fall thanks to the sleeveless vest, making it the perfect look for this transitional period!

Zuzanna, Financial Analyst, Olsen Poland

Zuzanna, Financial Analyst, Olsen Poland

Hi, I’m Zuzanna and I have been a team member of Olsen’s Finance department since April 1, 2023. As a financial analyst, I deal with a lot of numbers and creating reports. Although I brought my previous knowledge to this role, I have learned a lot since joining Olsen which has brought me so much motivation and joy at my job every day.

The fashion here is such a big plus! I love Olsen’s relaxed fits and comfortable styles. For me, Olsen offers the perfect outfits for everyday wear, whether at work or for leisure. My favourite outfit from the VIVID COLOUR collection is the plush sweater and pants in a monochromatic look. I added my favourite piece, which is the trending pink to this look as the final layer. This look puts me in a good mood, even on gray autumn days.

Fashion is a form of self-expression, and one of the most creative ways to showcase fashion savvy is through layering clothes. The art of layering is a way to add depth, texture, and dimension to your outfit, creating a stylish and unique look. Whether you’re putting together a chic ensemble for a casual brunch or an elegant outfit for a night out, mastering the art of layering can elevate your fashion game. In this blog, we’ll walk you through some essential techniques to help you become a layering pro!

The Basics of Layering

Layering is all about combining different garments to create a cohesive and stylish outfit. Start with a base layer, such as a fitted tank or a lightweight long-sleeved top and pair with pants or a skirt in an ideal fit for you – this will serve as the foundation for your layered look. From here, basing your next choice on the weather, what’s trending, and most importantly your own personal taste, you then add garments over top like sweaters, cardigans, shirts, blazers, vests and even scarves. When layering, you can opt for a monochrome look and choose items in different shades of the same colour family or create contrast by adding neutrals that are harmonious with just about everything, such as navy, black, grey and cream.

The Basics of Layering

Mixing Textures

One of the secrets to successfully creating a layered look is to mix textures. Combining different fabric textures adds visual interest and depth to your outfit. Consider experimenting with fabrics and textures like jersey, denim, tactile knits, quilting and satin-effect materials to create a captivating contrast to your ensemble. For example, pair a tweed jacket over a flowy satin-effect dress or combine a quilted vest with a cardigan that has evident stich interest.

Mixing Textures

Seasonal Layering

Adapting how you layer to the change in seasons is essential for both style and comfort, especially during transitional months where the temperature outside can vary throughout the day, or when air-conditioned interiors may be very cool compared to warm outdoors. During warmer seasons, opt for lightweight layers in breathable fibres like a linen shirt over a cotton tee, or airy silhouettes like a breezy kimono over a tank top.

Seasonal Layering

Colder months are when layering has its time to shine! Layering clothes retains body heat to protect you from the cold and allows you the flexibility to remove layers to adjust to changing temperatures outdoors versus indoors. In fall and winter, prioritize warmth by choosing heavier fabrics and cozy knits like quilted materials, wool blends or chunky novelty sweaters and scarves. A style tip for cold-weather layering is to wear a base layer like a t-shirt or tank in 100% cotton that wicks moisture away from the skin, is breathable and soft.

Accessorize Thoughtfully

Accessories can make or break a layered look – choose ones that complement your layers rather than overpower them. Scarves, statement necklaces, belts, and hats can add an extra layer of style to your ensemble. However, remember the golden rule: less is more. Opt for one or two accessories to avoid overwhelming your outfit. Olsen offers an extensive range of scarves in playful prints and textures that can be the perfect finishing touch and final piece to your layered look.

Accessorize Thoughtfully

Layering clothes is a captivating form of fashion expression that allows you to showcase your creativity and style. By mixing textures and incorporating thoughtful accessories, you can create a dynamic and visually stunning ensemble. Remember to experiment with statement pieces and adapt your layering techniques to the seasons for maximum impact. With these techniques in mind, you’ll be well on your way to becoming a layering pro and ushering in the fall season in style.

The golden autumn is just around the corner and we are looking forward to the hottest styles from the fall/winter season 2023! Our design team has compiled the trendiest themes from the current season for you. Get inspired and look forward to cool looks and stylish outfits.

Monochrome look

The popular tone-on-tone look is also one of the most important fashion trends in this year’s fall/winter season – and preferably in bold colors. Especially in the cooler season, fashion lovers go for one color because you need many more pieces than in summer. Thus, with the so-called layering look, which consists of several layers, it is of course comfortable to rely on a particular color, which at the same time makes an absolute fashion statement.

Trend color green

Green is the absolutely most important trend color in 2023 and conquers the fashion world even in the cooler season. It does not matter which shade of green you go for, with this “it” color you are always right in its many nuances! Especially the monochrome look is very popular in this color world, no matter if the whole outfit consists of the same green shade, for example khaki or sage, or of different nuances.

Modern Classic

Another fashion trend that is impossible to imagine this year’s fall/winter season without is Modern Classic. This trend combines classics like blazers or jackets in Chanel look with modern silhouettes, colors and components of today’s trends. The classics of yesteryear get a trendy upgrade. For this, you can likewise conjure up your favorite pieces from the past and combine them with current it-pieces.

Alpine Mood

The mountain is calling! This outdoor-inspired fashion trend exudes a lot of mountain magic and reminds us of winter hours in the Alps. Of course, cozy Norwegian sweaters and warming outdoor jackets in trendy orange and red tones are not to be missed. In this year’s fall/winter season, you’ll cut a fine figure with the alpine look not only in the mountains, but also in the big city.

Back to Blue

The color blue is also an important trend color in the fall/winter season 2023 – and that in its versatile, beautiful nuances. At the same time, you are totally free in the combination and styling, because this color goes super together with the most different tones. For this reason, color blocking is a popular theme here. Either you combine the wonderful blue tones uncomplicated with white or black, or you create strong contrasts with strong colors like orange, red or pink. But also in a monochrome look you create absolute eye-catchers with blue fashion pieces.

Care Zone

This year’s fall/winter season is going to be cozy! In the winter months we love it comfortable, soft and relaxed. That’s why the trend theme Care Zone meets exactly the needs we have during the cold season. Harmony, mental health and security are important keywords in this theme, as are athleisure and calm colors. We focus on fluffy yarns, comfortable silhouettes and calm colors like beige and blue. So dive into the wonderfully relaxed Care Zone!

Trend color pink

Barbie conquers in the current season not only the cinemas around the world, but also real life in 2023. This also has a very strong influence on the fashion world in the fall / winter season 2023. The pink tone “Viva Magenta” was also chosen this year as the Pantone color of the year. Therefore, you are absolutely on trend with pink! Wear this bold color either in monochrome style, i.e. pink from head to toe, or create strong color blocking looks by combining pink fashion pieces with other bold colors.

Party Fever

Party Party Party – in fall/winter 2023 we are looking forward to the festive season again, which is why the trendy theme Party Fever is absolutely indispensable from the season. Fake leather, shine and glitter as well as leopard prints are popular styles with which you can make a true fashion statement this winter!

Which trend do you like the most?

A light and airy viscose scarf is the perfect accessory for summer and is a wardrobe essential this summer wardrobe. This decorative cloth of a scarf provides your look with the perfect finish touch. In this blog story, we will inspire you with different scarf styling techniques:

Look 1: Sporty outfit

1. Scarf as headband

One of our most popular styling options is to wear the airy summer scarf as a headband. You can go for a trendy monochrome look, with the entire outfit consisting of the same print or color as the scarf. Or you can combine a summer scarf that accents the same color shades of the chosen outfit or even contrasts with it.

2. Scarf tied on a handbag

Another popular combination option for a favorite summer scarf is to dress up a beautiful handbag. You can either wrap the scarf around the bag handle or simply tie it to the side and let the scarf hang loosely. Don’t forget, you can either choose a scarf that matches the look in color or opt for a contrasting look.

Look 2: Monochrome outfit
Look 3: Elegant outfit

3. Traditional tie around the neck

Finally, we come to the most conventional way to wear a scarf – a summer scarf wrapped around the neck or loosely placed around the neck. If the scarf flows loosely along the body, this has a wonderful visual effect that lengthens and slims the silhouette. Draping the scarf around the neck creates a pleasantly soft “turtleneck” effect that rounds off the entire look and keeps you warm in slightly cooler weather.

Which of the three options is your favorite summer scarf styling?
