Trending Silk Scarves

Silk scarves are everywhere right now—tied around ponytails, knotted onto tote bag handles, looped through belt loops as they've always belonged there. It looks effortless. It is not effortless—or at least, it isn't cheap. The cult French and Italian labels behind this look can run past $200 for a single square of silk. No need to fret. We rounded up 16 silk and silk-blend scarves that pull off the exact same look for a whole lot less.

Not sure how to wear one? We've got you. Knot it at your neck for the classic look, tie it around a low ponytail, loop it through your tote handle like a charm, or wrap it around your wrist like an oversized bracelet. However you tie it, it works.

This one's for you whether you're brand-new to the trend or you're the friend who already has three scarves tied to her tote (we love that for you). Prices here start at $23 and top out at $100, including a 100% silk Anthropologie pick and a J.Crew scarf currently 33% off. Yes, it's as good as it sounds.
