Two (new) autumn takes on a silk scarf

Do you wear silk scarves? How about men's silk tie scarves? I find them very dapper and sometimes easier to wear with my everyday uniform. So you can imagine my excitement when J. Crew's own head stylist, Gayle shared two new and sassy ways to wear silk long tie scarves this season like a pro.

1: Paired with a jacket, a coat or a blazer. The texture of the silk will play nicely under those heavier pieces and the mix is ideal for an autumn layering perfection.


2: Wear it with a cardigan or under a sweater as an alternative to a button-down. It will give your outfit a snazzy pop in the same way as a collar would. Plus this pairing is perfect for when you want to achieve a less 'styled' look that you can wear daily while still looking comfortable and yourself!

I've spent the weekend wearing Balazs' fancy tie scarf under a cardigan paired with jeans and surprisingly, I felt very comfortable and a whole lot sassier than usual.

Would you try those looks? xo

P.S: How to cuff your sleeves.
P.P.S: Also, belted scarves.
