This summer, it’s all about the scarf. Scratch that: scarves. More scarves, the better! Just ask Anya Taylor-Joy.
According to the most stylish celebrities, the breakout trend of the season has revolved around decking yourself out in multiple silk foulards; stars have creatively wrapped themselves in a variety of eye-catching styles, be it as a skirt, or an Old Hollywood-style headscarf. You get bonus points if said scarf is in an elegant floral print or graphic pattern too, injecting your look with instant pizazz. Or, if you are Taylor-Joy, you get extra bonus points for pulling off wearing three scarves at once.
This weekend, the actor was spotted in Budapest attending the Hungarian Grand Prix, and she proved herself a fan of the scarf dressing trend already enjoyed by Kylie Jenner and Alexa Chung—by piling on the accessory in three ways in one idyllic summer outfit.
First, she tied a striped green scarf around her head, further leaning into the retro-chic vibe with a pair of black Dior cat eye sunglasses. (As expected of a house ambassador). Then, around her shoulders, she sported a butter yellow pashmina worn like a shawl, styling it with more minimal pieces like a white tank, cropped bermuda shorts, and chic Mary Jane flats.

Just when you think she couldn’t possibly layer in another scarf, Joy then added a perfect statement bag to finish off the look—a scarf-style top handle handbag by Farm Rio, complete with a chunky wooden handle.
Now, wondering how you can mix-and-match three different scarves into one ensemble without looking like chaos personified? Do like Anya Taylor-Joy, and make sure they all exist in the same color family (she, for one, opted for light summery pastels). The star also balanced out solids with patterns as well: Turns out, yes, you can mix stripes and florals, if they are in the same hue. Some may call it clashing, but we call this look power-scarfing.
