Silk scarves have always felt like the ultimate little luxury to me! There’s something about a printed scarf that instantly elevates even the simplest outfit—whether in a loose knot with a button-down or tucked under the collar of a blazer for that effortless Parisian look. It’s an endlessly versatile accessory that can be styled in a dozen ways. While silk scarves can be pricier, there are plenty of beautiful silk scarves under $100 that have the same timeless appeal without the splurge and I wanted to round up a few favorites!
These two darling scarves for under $30 were one of my favorite finds. They’re the perfect size for tying over a ponytail, around your neck, or on a handbag. As much as I love neutrals, I love a bright silk scarf! This turquoise blue paisley scarfand polka dot bloom green scarf are gorgeous. For a vintage-inspired print that feels like something you’d find in a well-loved heirloom collection, this chain link scarf is a classic pick with a sophisticated look.
I’ve been wearing my scarf collection more often and get questions about how I tie them! Most often, I wear my silk scarves loosely tied around my neck. It’s super easy to tie, and the trick is not to be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little, but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
