Four ways to wear a foulard to be fashionable
Since it burst into fashion in the 1950s, this scarf is a must-have in any self-respecting wardrobe. They come in large, small, square, triangular, and with colorful patterns or in plain and elegant tones. There are so many options available that we are certain the perfect foulard is out there somewhere waiting for you. They can be used as an accessory to create new styles or reinvent your classic looks. Are you ready to try out all the versions for this season?
A classic: the neck
The trend of a scarf tied around the neck is back this year, in classic Grease style, with a knot at the front or to one side. We see all types of influencers and celebrities, and of course, people on the street wearing it like this. This is one of the most elegant ways of wearing a foulard around the neck, but not the only way; try using a longer foulard like a traditional scarf, with the ends falling delicately down your back, or draped effortlessly over the shoulders.
HOW TO INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR LOOK: with one scarf, you can create numerous looks to adapt to all the trends. If you are looking for an elegant outfit, try a beige ankle-length dress, a black blazer finished with a dark belt, and a scarf tied at the neck with patterns in the same colors. Add the finishing touch to your outfit with this beige mini pop bag and a sophisticated hairstyle, like the clean look. We can see it already!
Tied to your bag
We all have a trusted bag that accompanies us everywhere we go. We never tire of it, but we do admit that sometimes we think about adding a unique touch to prevent it from becoming repetitive. Does this sound like you? The solution is as simple as hanging a foulard or scarf in a striking color from one of its handles. However, there are other more original ways of adding a scarf to your bag, like fully “lining” the handles with it and tying the ends into a nice bow to add volume to the accessory.
HOW TO INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR LOOK: medium bags with rigid handles are particularly suitable for flaunting this style. One of our favorites is the Amaya shopper from the Brenda collection which is both elegant and practical in a striking red color. With this bag, you can use a plain scarf in earthy tones, if you are a more conservative fashionista, or opt for a pink print that will ensure all eyes are on you. Your bag, your rules.
The chic touch: a headscarf
Bring out our chicer side for an all-year-round trendsetting style: a headscarf. Among our favorite ways to wear it are two iconic styles: pirate style, which fits perfectly with modern street style and adds a rebellious touch to any outfit, and the classic knot under the chin, just the way our grandmothers wore them when they were young. Everything comes back in fashion!
HOW TO INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR LOOK: some celebs, like Hailey Bieber, opt to combine the elegance of a scarf tied under the chin with an urban style. To do this, place a baseball cap under the scarf, wear some extravagant sunglasses, and prepare to shine wherever you go with a classic tracksuit. This is called playing with different styles and trends. Bravo!
At the waist, it never fails
Warning! It’s the perfect time to treat yourself to one or several scarves, because, in the fall-winter 2024 season, this accessory worn at the waist is going to be one of the biggest trends. We’ve seen it threaded through the belt loops of any pair of trousers, like a belt, and placed over skirts, trousers, jumpsuits, or dresses and tied to one side or on the lower back, like a sarong.
HOW TO INCORPORATE IT INTO YOUR LOOK: this is one of the best ways of wearing a large foulard because it goes with everything and is very easy to fit. Runways and fashion lovers dare to incorporate this accessory into a wide range of looks, from a summer outfit with a vest top, short skirt, and sandals to a suit with a jacket. The key is to find a foulard that matches your style and wear your outfit with confidence.
