5 Ways to Style a Silk Scarf
If you’ve been coming here awhile, then you know that I LOVE my accessories (and dresses and skirts…haha). Accessories can change an outfit in an instant and add a little pizazz when needed. This leopard print silk scarf from Ce’st Mode Chic fits the bill. The neutral color goes with seriously everything and though it has a pattern, it’s not overwhelming and blends well with nearly any outfit.
Read on for 5 ways to style a silk scarf below!
Use a Silk Scarf as a Purse Accessory
You can accessorize your purse of work tote many different ways with a silk scarf, but I settled on a huge bow. The bow adds a little more interest to my work bag and looks super cute in the process!
Use a Silk Scarf as a Belt
In the top photo, I folded the scarf and tied it around my waist. I chose to have the ends of the scarf at the front so they could “stick out” like a bow!
In the bottom photo, I just turned the scarf around to show the band. I kept the bow element, but put it in the back instead. Both ways are adorable!
Use a Silk Scarf as a Headband
Using a scarf as headband isn’t new, but it’s certainly classic. (Channeling my inner Blair Waldorf here) I folded the scarf even more to make a “skinny” band. I tied the ends under my hair and ta da! Head band. There are many variations of this as well.
Use a Silk Scarf as a ….Scarf (?!)
Mind blowing, I know.
Again, many variations to this one. You can fold it diagonally or rectangular or you can wrap it around once or more or you can tie a bow or a knot. See? Endless possibilities! In my case, I kept it simple and just wrapped it around my necklace in lieu of my usual statement necklace.
Use a Silk Scarf as Shawl
Drape this pretty little thing on your shoulders for a chilly (or not so chilly) night out. It elevates the outfit and looks very prim.

So cute! I love your bag and flowers. This post is exactly why I love scarves…they are so versatile and practical. I always forget to tie one on my bag though.
such a cute outfit – perfect for spring!
You have styled your new scarf to perfection. I love tying a pretty scarf into my bags and totes but I now have to try tying it to bags as a big bow. And I also love the scarf as a wrap over my dresses and tops. I also need to do more styling of my scarves as a headband tied to my hair and as a belt or sash on my dresses. The second and third looks with your new pretty scarf are my favorite styles. Gorgeous dress too. Welcome by to see my latest. Thank you.
I just love everything about your outfit!! I always forget to add a silk scarf to outfits! It’s always so pretty when you do! Love your dress!! =)
I love it tied in a bow around your waist! How cute!

I have a love affair with silk scarves, I only own two but every time I see one I feel like I need it haha! So I am always looking for more ways I can style mine. I love the idea of tying it onto a bag – the bow looks so adorable and really makes such a nice impact! Going to try that trick next 😉
