The 70s Skinny Silk Scarf

Everyone loves a scarf, especially in Winter, but scarves can be a Summer thing too, especially if its a colourful skinny one. The skinny scarf is associated with the 70s along with David Bowie in his flamboyant Ziggy Stardust days, Marc Bolan, Stevie Nicks and Anita Pallenberg. These scarves were worn tied around the neck or in the hair. Biba and Celia Birtwell designed patterns that were colourful and bold. They were influenced by pop art and abstract patterns using these on their scarves.

Today in 2022 silk skinny scarves are one of the most searched accessories. Tie one in your hair, around the waist as a belt, or wrapped around the neck and tied at the back. They look fantastic worn with a plain white shirt or mix up the prints with your favourite maxi. Happy Summer!
