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 wore them long before their children turned the look into a business—yes, Kimberly Stewart, we’re looking at you.
Before Hedi Slimane sent models down the runway in skinny scarves, channeling early 2000s socialites, rockstars in Hollywood had already made the style their own. 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 is making a strong comeback. It’s the perfect in-between-seasons accessory—light enough to avoid looking bulky but warm enough to add a little extra coziness.
Best of all, it’s an effortless way to refresh your wardrobe. Whether you go for a solid color, a bold print, or a vintage-inspired pattern, a skinny scarf instantly elevates your look with minimal effort.
