Looking for a unique, sophisticated summer look? A scarf is your best friend for creating a unique, seamless top! It's the perfect accessory for effortless style. Whether you're looking for an original wedding outfit idea, an evening look, or a fresh silhouette for sunny days, a scarf can be transformed into a bold and elegant top.
What size scarf for a top?
Large scarves are perfect for creating fitted or flowing tops. Here are some we recommend:
-
90x90 cm : ideal for a bandeau or bustier.
-
100x100 cm : more coverage, perfect for playing with shapes (asymmetrical, knotted, crossed).
-
130x130 cm : for a drape like a long top or a short tied dress.
-
Combination of sizes : a 90x90 scarf + a twilly or a 45x45 for a more structured and covering top.
What material for a scarf top?
Material plays a key role. We recommend:
-
Silk : chic, sophisticated , and elegant, it offers a fluid drape that enhances the body's movement. Easy to tie, it remains light and comfortable even in summer.
-
The cotton/silk blend : more textured, it provides hold and a natural matte finish. Ideal for a structured, comfortable, and contemporary version.
Ideas for tying a scarf top
-
The backless headband : fold the scarf into a triangle, tie the ends behind the back, point down.
-
The crossed bustier : wrap the scarf flat around the bust, cross the ends in front or behind, then tie.
-
The asymmetrical top : fold one end over the shoulder and tie the other under the arm.
-
The strappy top : slip on a twilly or a small scarf to create ties to tie around the neck or on the shoulders.
-
The scarf necklace + bustier : tie a twilly or a small scarf as a necklace around the neck, then tie a 90x90 by the tip to create a top that holds and structures the bust.
What to wear it with?
This scarf top pairs perfectly with high-waisted pants , flowing shorts , a midi skirt , or chic Bermuda shorts . For a summer wedding or an evening on the terrace, opt for natural materials, a beautiful pair of earrings, and a fine sandal. During the day, opt for a more casual look with jeans or linen pants.
