Scarves are officially back and not just the winter, wrap-around-your-neck kind. Now, it is all about experiments, mood-switching and turning one tiny fabric strip into a full fashion moment.
From tops to bandannas to DIY blouses, fashionistas are proving that a scarf can be the most hardworking accessory in your wardrobe.
Here’s how to style them the right way.
