This just works for you. YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411935 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 23:17:55 +0000 Kate 2411935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Brooklyn, love these looks.</p> <p>You're right about the flattery of diagonal lines. I had that Bailey 44 dress you linked to. I loved it. I'm not so sure I don't still have it somewhere. I may go root around in the basement and look later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411929 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:24:21 +0000 Sal 2411929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This look suits you Brooklyn. I had a Bailey 44 dress and loved it. It was definitely a flattering style.</p> <p>My favourites are the first two 2 3 4- I like the colour combinations and agree with Angie that the cap is fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411921 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 18:04:52 +0000 Ket 2411921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SUPERB!! I love it on you!!! Very boho, sultry, and fun.<div><br /></div><div>I am partial to scarves of any kind, worn in many ways. So I'm excited by this new look in general.&nbsp;</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411910 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 17:13:25 +0000 Angie 2411910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>KILLER to the Power of KILLER, Queen Hip Scarf!&nbsp;</p> <p>LOVE it all! Can't pick a fave. Fully understand how the multiple diagonal lines make you happy. They suit you!</p> <p>I know the scarf is THE accessory here&nbsp;<b>Brooklyn</b>, yet the HAT is the star of the show!! How stinking cute are you that hat!!! WOW!&nbsp;</p> <p>I also see what <b>Star </b>sees. The hip scarf tie and jumper-around-your-hips-tie is very '80s. The rest of your outfit is very '70s! Both decades are honest influences of your style - (mine too - wooohooooo!). How can the result be anything but super duper smashing....as you clearly show here!&nbsp;</p> <p>HAVING FUN WITH FASHION.</p> <p>Please carry on :)</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411908 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 16:52:52 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2411908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I love this look on you, Brooklyn. You've also described it and why it appeals to you so eloquently. You've inspired me to give it a try. How clever that you'd already been wearing your jacket or cardi tied in this style.&nbsp;</div><div>I especially adore 2 and 3, because that vest is fantastic in its own right, and while it could go dressier, adding the scarves pulls it into the boho vibe so nicely.&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411902 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:46:37 +0000 Suz 2411902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b> -- so cool and creative! Love this on you. It really does feel authentic to your style. </p> <p>And I also really like your explanation of why the version in photo 1 (of the model) won't work practically for you and what works better about tying it the ways you are doing. Helpful for those who want to try it out.&nbsp;</p> <p>I fondly remember you in those asymmetrical tops -- I loved asymmetrical tops, too, back then, for the same reason. And I remember that Bailey 44 dress on you and so many other forum members! It was vava voom!&nbsp;</p> <p>These are all great, but my faves are the McQueen skull scarf outfit and the Zara one -- 100% with you the the effect of how the scarf works with the pieced jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>Very interesting that you tie your pullovers on the side like that, too. So clever!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411900 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:32:20 +0000 Star (Lise) 2411900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to mention my favourites are the McQueen-ish scarf outfit and the Zara scarf outfit. You've inspired me to give this a go when the weather warms up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411899 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:20:28 +0000 kellygirl 2411899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So chic and bohoesque. These really suit your style. I love the diagonal line - it looks much hipper than those diagonal hemline tunics I used to wear! Great to have in the arsenal to add some interest to denim. Probably too fussy for me for work but maybe on a non work day. As always, thanks for sharing!&nbsp; <br />BTW, I bought a cotton skirt from Target to dry my hand at teal. I was going to try Proscion MX - they have premixed colors. Have you used them before?&nbsp;</p> <p>TIA! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411886 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:55:20 +0000 RobinF 2411886@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great. I love the way the scarf can tie colors together and just give the outfit extra interest. I agree about diagonals although I don't really need extra fabric on my hips! :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411885 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 12:37:47 +0000 LJP 2411885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As ChristelJ and Bella said. &nbsp;I too love and miss longer asymmetric tops . I like the look of a plaid shirt/sweater/long sleeved t tied around the waist but haven't tried it personally. Not sure it would look easy and natural on me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411884 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 11:37:59 +0000 ChristelJ 2411884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this look is meant to be nonchalant and it succeeds in being truly nonchalant on you, very natural looking. Love the diagonals, and my, what cool jeans you have! More angles going on there too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411880 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 10:30:20 +0000 bella 2411880@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks very intentional and yet unstudied on you. I love all the looks, well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411876 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 08:24:35 +0000 lyn67 2411876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks quite fun and wearable for your style and probably the environment you are using this look for and so,&nbsp; YLF in all of these.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />The problem for me wearing something similar is exactly that:<i>&nbsp;"The vibe is a bit music festival. Insouciant. Bohemian"</i> which I also like but doesn't feel authentic for me and my neck of the woods. Too bad, because otherwise I've just figured out it would be a great way to hide my flat rear and the scarf could hold in a bit of the front tummy as well:-))...&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411873 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 07:53:33 +0000 Star (Lise) 2411873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BROOKLYN your outfits are very 70s to me too. I love the Bailey 44 dress. I too love diagonal lines, very flattering to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411871 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 07:25:23 +0000 Brooklyn 2411871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Star and Slim cat. </p> <p>Star, I don’t remember that! It feels more 70s than 80s to me, but maybe that’s because of the type of jeans I am wearing it with.</p> <p>This is the Bailey 44 dress I remember fondly:</p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/2011/12/08/the-flattering-effect-of-overlapping-diagonal-stripes/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2011/12.....l-stripes/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/autumn-the-hip-scarf#post-2411869 Thu, 30 Apr 2026 06:42:12 +0000 slim cat 2411869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fun and fabulous!

Now that the weather is cooler, I’ve been trying out the same idea with jeans and long pants.</p> <p>What I like about this look is the diagonal line that it creates at my hips and thighs. That’s flattering for my curvy shape. Like an asymmetric top. I miss asymmetric tops! I wore them a lot during the skinnies era. </p> <p>The vibe is a bit music festival. Insouciant. Bohemian. I like. </p> <p>For me, it doesn’t move around when walking. But, yes, it is a bit tricky going to the bathroom. You have to readjust or re-tie afterwards. More so with pants than a skirt. And it sometimes needs re-adjusting after sitting. </p> <p>I think the idea of this look is to throw it on when you go out, much like you would a scarf worn around the neck. It’s not a wear all day look. </p> <p>*******</p> <p>Pictures</p> <p>I wear this look in 2 slightly different ways. Low and under my top (pics 2, 3, 4) which is a more minimal look. This creates one diagonal line over my hips. The second way is a little higher and over my top (pics 5, 6). This creates 2 diagonal lines (one over my torso and one over my hips). A crossbody bag creates another diagonal line. I think the zig zag effect is quite flattering. (I have fond memories of a Bailey 44 dress that made a feature of this zigzag effect.)</p> <p>The more low slung, “sarong” look shown by the model in pic 1 does not work for me. It feels a bit too skirt like for me, and it moves around a lot. </p> <p>Pics 2-3: This is a large rectangular scarf (in a very fine wool) that I’ve had for years. I just folded it down to a triangle for this outfit. I love finding new ways to wear dark floral.</p> <p>Pic 4: This is an Alexander McQueen-ish scarf that I thrifted. I think it’s viscose. Quite thin. Finer fabrics seem to work best for this look.</p> <p>Pic 5: This is a silk modal scarf that I bought last year from the National Gallery in London. It’s a print of a famous William Turner painting. I’m a big Turner fan. </p> <p>Pic 6: This is a very old cotton scarf from Zara. I like how the colours echo the side pieces of my jeans. The beads (which I thrifted) are blue, purple, teal and gold. I love that colour combination but I don’t get to wear it often. That was an added bonus for this outfit.</p> <p>Pic 7: One of the reasons why wearing a hip scarf feels natural and not contrived for me is that for some years now I have been in the habit of wearing a long sleeve top or sweater tied around my waist when I go out if I think I might need it. I deliberately wear it to the side, rather than at the back, to create that magical diagonal line and make it a more intentional part of my outfit. I think the hip scarf is just a more “styled”, less casual version of the same look. </p>
