There are lace trimmed skirts, lace trimmed camisoles, and today’s post is about lace trimmed scarves. They are solid and patterned, and mostly neutral. Most of the scarves are trimmed with lace, and some are made entirely of lace. The idea is to wear them around your waist like a sarong over jeans, casual pants, dressy trousers, skirts, and dresses. I remember that this was a thing back in the ’80s. Since the ’80s are influencing current fashion, it’s good timing of the trend.
Lace trimmed scarves are the newest look, although you can create a triangle with ANY large solid or patterned square scarf and add it to your outfit by wrapping it around your waist and hips. The examples below show lace trimmed scarves and patterned scarves wrapped this way. It’s a fringe trend that began last year, and it’s gaining momentum.
Create a low or high contrast with the scarf. Wear it over a column of colour. Keep it the same colour as the column of colour. Or layer a jacket or coat over the wrapped scarf outfit. A nice square knot will ensure that the ends lie flat and neatly against the side of the body.
Personally, I’m not a big decorative scarf person. Most of the time, I wear woolly scarves for warmth around my neck in cold weather as opposed to adding it as flair and embellishment to an outfit. I’m much more into wearing belts than scarves, so I’m bypassing this trend. However, I’ve been helping clients style some of their scarves this way, and the results have been most successful over skirts and dresses, although pants and jeans ensembles have worked too.
Over to you. What do you think of the lace trimmed hip scarf, or any square scarf wrapped around your waist and hips?
