Top 5 Long Scarves: The Long Game

It’s just about time to put those chunky knit scarves away, but that doesn’t mean you need to abandon scarves altogether. These light, airy strips of silk and crystal-embellished organza will give you the look without the winter weather bulk, running the gamut from vintage Parisian chic (the Lanvin) to modern-day rocker (Hedi Slimane’s Saint Laurent, of course). Which will we see whipping behind you this season?

Loro Piana Opposite Crystal Drops Stole: For those Jewel Snobs who can never get enough Swarovski! The price is high, but so is the crystal count. At Neiman Marcus for $2,900.

Saint Laurent Leopard-Print Scarf: So what if it’s the season of pastels? Leopard is a neutral you can sport all year round. At Barneys New York for $850.

Erdem Jardim Dot Fringe-Edge Scarf: Embrace the ’70s fringe trend with ‘20s-style spin (and spring florals for good measure). At Neiman Marcus for $675.

Lanvin Silk/Wool Long Narrow Scarf: There are a million ways to tie a scarf, but sometimes the simplest is best; just push one half over your shoulder and let the other flow down the front. At Bergdorf Goodman for $385.

ASOS Long Skinny Scarf with Paisley Print and Long Fringing: ASOS’ Frugal Snob-friendly version is just as gorgeous as the Erdem, and the paisley print is even more ‘70s-inspired. On ASOS for $21.50.
