Trend Report: Scarf Print.

With a nod to the classic Hermes scarf, D&G's last collection before it's incorporation into the main Dolce and Gabbana line, sent out a collection of gloriously bright and fun silk scarf prints which will make a vivacious and fun alternative to the ice cream colours which are proving very popular for spring and summer.  But it wasn't just the Italian design duo who embraced the trend with Versace, Carven and DKNY all providing the classic silk scarf element into their spring/summer collections.

No matter what your age, this is a trend that can be embraced by all, and the High Street are already offering interpretations of the trend at very reasonable prices so take a look at my top picks and start adding a dash of silk scarf chic to your wardrobe.


Print Dress £42. Turquoise Tunic £38. Blue Scarf Blouson £35.

I've noticed for the last few seasons that Wallis have been offering homage's to designer collections, with last year seeing great interpretations of both Stella McCartney and Prada, and this season does not disappoint if you are looking for High Street prices and trend led pieces for the more mature fashion follower.  The classic jersey wrap style dress requires very little styling, just team with great shoes and a clutch.  I adore the tunic and the blouson because I live and die in jeans so they would both be perfect additions to my spring wardrobe and could be worn with flats for day or heels for evening.  I don't really wear skirts, but both tops would look just as good with your classic black pencil skirt as they would adding a pop of colour under a tailored jacket for the office.
Blue is undoubtedly the colour of the season, which gives me another reason to fall in love with these pieces.


Versace Mini Dress £465.  Silk Shirt £745. Silk Twill shirt £745.


DKNY dress at my-wardrobe £237. DKNY silk vest at NAP £250.

High End or High Street, will you be wearing scarf print pieces this season?

      Pam - I think the Wallis ones offer a great high street alternative at a very purse friendly price!

  2. I do like these, especially three from Wallis. I prefer prints that with contiguous colors, and lower contrast than either the Versace or DKNY, but they're all quite pretty.

    1. I must admit I am finding the blue colourways from Wallis more appealing, as well as purse friendly.
