The trends come, come, and sometimes recycle. This season, no need to spend a fortune to restore your dressing room. A detail is enough to transform your silhouette in the blink of an eye. And this detail, you surely already have it.
Summer is often synonymous with lightened outfits, fluid dresses, clear jeans and cotton tops. But very quickly, the routine settles. We put on the same basics, we revolve around the same associations. We look at each other in the mirror, and we tell ourselves that it lacks a little extra thing. This thing is this visual twist that catches the eye without doing too much, which gives the impression of having thought about your outfit when we just had the right idea at the right time. And that’s good: fashion loves simple ideas, as long as they are well executed.
We have seen it on the catwalks, in the street, on the networks: the belts are everywhere. But not just any. This spring-summer, a variant took power without warning. It is colorful, light, malleable. She does not hug, she underlines. She does not hide anything, she sublimates. It adapts to morphologies, styles, desires. And above all, it costs zero euro, because it is already lying in your belongings. An old silk square forgotten at the bottom of a drawer. An inherited, offered or shot piece without thinking about it. This summer, this square becomes a belt.
It is the touch that awakens a white t-shirt and raw jeans. Just roll the scarf in a thin strip, slip it into passers -by, and the silhouette takes a new look. More feminine, more graphic, more personal. You can also tie it on a fluid dress, at the waist, to mark the silhouette without constraining it. Or simply place it on the hips, over a midday skirt, a combination or oversize pants. We can play contrasts: flower scarf on total black look, geometric print on plain linen, shiny silk on mat cotton. Each node changes the tone.
This trend also extends the success of the triangular scarves carried around the neck in recent months, but it adapts it to warmer temperatures. And for those who like to hunt down, the thrift stores are full of scarves with retro prints, sometimes for a few euros. So it’s up to you.
