Square scarves? Long scarves? Pashmina scarves? It feels like every few months we find ourselves talking about reinventing new ways to tie our classic scarves, and quite honestly, it’s because the accessory won’t soon go out of style. In fact, we’ve been wearing all different styles for as long as we can remember. So to switch things up, we're sharing the fresh new ways to think about wearing your pashmina, silk, and long scarves right now and all the way into spring and summer, too.
