Heading to the beach? Use a scarf as a cute bikini wrap. Going from the beach to dinner? Use the lightweight fabric as a head scarf or hair tie. Is your outfit lacking a belt or way to cinch the waist? Consider a scarf. If you're particularly crafty, a larger scarf can even be transformed into a fashionable top. There are plenty of places to go for inspiration on how to style this must-own piece. YouTuber Tupo1 put together a helpful video with 20 different ways to tie a silk scarf (via YouTube). That's a good starting point. 

Celebrity stylist Monica Rose emphasized the versatility and cool factor of summer scarves in an interview with Refinery29. "Sometimes my outfit is so boring, and I'll put a cool scarf on and feel so cool," she said. "You can turn it around and wear it as a choker, knot it, tuck it, or add a necklace."
