The summer might be halfway over, but Beyoncé is showing us the way to keep the carefree vacation style alive past Labor Day. All it takes is a printed scarf wrapped around our heads, à la Old Hollywood.
On August 18, the singer was spotted in Brooklyn, New York, wearing a pair of psychedelic print pants styled with a simple black bodysuit and navy blazer. The pièce de résistance in this outfit, however, was a green-and-black printed scarf, which she wore covering her hair and tied at her neck for a look that brought the off-duty aesthetic to an otherwise business-ready ensemble.
Printed silk scarves are a longtime summer staple, but this summer, the versatile piece has taken on a new life. Brands like Miu Miu featured scarves on their fall/winter 2024 runways, while celebrities like Hailey Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Rihanna have been spotted wearing their takes on the summer classic, including leopard and floral printed versions. With Beyoncé’s take, it’s clear the trend is not dying down anytime soon. As the summer heat continues, adding a printed silk scarf over your head is an easy-to-style way to flex your sartorial muscle without adding on layers.

What’s more is that, as transitional weather ensues, a printed silk scarf is one accessory you should be sure not to stow away for the cold weather months. Worn as a neckpiece, over your head, or even as a handbag accessory, you can count on this staple to add a touch of color or spice up a monochrome outfit when the cool temperatures drown any motivation to actually dress up.
