It's official: the scarf top is back, and it's not just for summer music festivals anymore. It's the hottest fashion trend of 2025, and it's making a major comeback in a way that feels fresh, chic, and totally effortless.
What's the vibe? Think modern cool-girl. Everyone from Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner to Sofia Richie Grainge has been spotted rocking silk scarves as tops, proving that this simple piece can instantly transform your look.
Why We’re Obsessed with the Scarf Top
This trend is a total win for so many reasons; it's all about versatility and making a statement. A bold, colourful silk scarf, like the ones we have here at SLINK, can do the work of a dozen tops. It’s the ultimate way to get more out of your wardrobe and show off your personality without having to buy a whole new outfit.
And it's a trend that's perfect for our climate. Going from a warm day to a chilly evening? Throw a blazer or a cardigan over your scarf top. Heading out to the patio with your friends? It's the perfect light and breezy statement piece.
How to Style It: Your Go-To Looks
Wondering how to pull it off? It’s easier than you think. Here are a couple of my favourite ways to rock a scarf top:
The Classic Triangle Bandeau
This is the look you’ve seen everywhere and for good reason—it’s simple and stunning.
-
How-To: Fold a square scarf into a large triangle. Tie the two longer ends in a secure double-knot at your back. Voila! You have a chic bandeau.
-
Pair With: High-waisted denim, a flowy maxi skirt, or even some wide-leg trousers.

The Halter Top
This one is a little more structured and perfect for a night out.
-
How-To: Take your scarf and knot two adjacent corners together. Drape this knot over your shoulder to create a strap. Take the remaining two corners and tie them behind your back.
-
Pair With: Your favourite shorts for a summer look or a high-waisted pencil skirt for a little more formality.

It's All About the Print
The real secret to this trend is finding a scarf with a print and colour that speaks to you. Forget boring neutrals—this is your chance to play with bold florals, forever favourite animal prints, or vibrant colour-blocking. The bolder the scarf, the more of a statement you make.
So, are you ready to embrace the scarf top? It’s a fun and incredibly stylish way to add a splash of colour and personality to your everyday outfits. We can’t wait to see how you wear yours!
