I Can’t Stop Thinking About Scarf Tops
No, you’re not imagining it – scarves of all kinds are making appearances left and right. And I don’t just mean your traditional wool scarf, intended to keep your neck warm from the freezing temps. I mean the ones that just serve as accessories (well, kind of). They come attached to other items of clothing, like tops and jackets, and function more as an eye-catching detail than something to weather the cold. Perhaps it was Toteme who started it all with their viral scarf jacket. It’s no secret that many brands have since taken note, spewing out their own versions of scarf coats. But the trend has seeped into the inner layers as well, with more and more tops sporting dainty little scarves.
It’s a trend I’m most certainly welcoming as we enter 2025. It’s not just scarves, but any kind of neck covering that comes stitched onto a shirt or sold as a set. And while they’re not technically a new invention, they certainly haven’t seen as much widespread attention as they do now. I love the chic touch it adds to the top half of your body. As someone who typically struggles to find shirts as interesting as the near-30 pairs of bottoms she owns, I’m stocking up on a number of scarf tops this season, starting with the chic options below.
