There’s something about a beautifully printed silk scarf that hearkens to Paris in the 1950s—a time when simple, gamine silhouettes were only bolstered by classic accessories like ballet flats and pearls. Scarves factored prominently during this period, and gained traction in the ‘70s with iconic prints from Pucci and Missoni. Now, printed scarves remain to be one of the easiest ways to freshen up an outfit—whether tied to a purse (à la Elle Woods) or an arm (à la Carrie Bradshaw), folded as a headband (à la Nicole Richie), or simply worn around the neck. —Charlotte Steinway
