What's knot to love about the silk scarf trend?

This summer, the easiest way to bring any outfit to life isn’t through jewellery or bags.

Instead, fashion fans are experimenting with colour and print through silk scarves, with Pinterest UK seeing a 105% increase in searches for ‘silk scarves’ between November 2025 and May 2026, and a 425% spike in searches for ‘silk scarf styling’.

“Everyone should be wearing silk scarves this year,” says Gabriella Jackson, co-founder of Sydney-based luxury silk house Saint Jane.

Tying a scarf around your head as a bandana or wearing it as a neckerchief isn’t exactly a new trend, but it has seen a recent resurgence.

“I think people really want to go back to enjoying what they're wearing, and not being so afraid - and the splash of colour and print in a scarf can help you do that,” says Gabriella.

“I will always have a scarf on me - but it's usually a black outfit with a scarf top, or it’s in my hair, and it makes me feel a little bit more put together,” she notes.
