The skinny scarf isn’t just for the Saint Laurent crowd. While YSL models often strut the runway in slip dresses, fur, and these sleek accessories, the trend actually dates back much further.
Inspired by rock ‘n’ roll legends, the skinny scarf has been a go-to for some of the biggest names in music. Icons like Ziggy Stardust, Steven Tyler, and Rod Stewart embraced the look long before their children turned it into a business.
Before Hedi Slimane reintroduced skinny scarves on the runway—giving models an early 2000s socialite aesthetic—Hollywood rockstars had already made them a signature style. And it wasn’t just the men; Stevie Nicks, the ultimate boho queen, was often seen draped in scarves as well.
Like many trends from the ’70s, the skinny scarf has made a strong comeback, offering a stylish and versatile way to accessorize between seasons. It’s light enough to avoid looking bulky but still provides just the right amount of warmth for fall.
Whether you opt for a solid color, a bold print, or a patterned design, a skinny scarf is an effortless way to add a vintage touch to your outfit.
