A SCARF ON A HAT: AN ULTRA FEMININE COMBINATION

Updated September 22, 2026

When we think of hats and scarves, classic cinema immediately comes to mind. Audrey Hepburn is one of the style icons whose scarf-and-hat combinations remain memorable.

In Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Holly Golightly’s dramatic hats helped define an enduring image of elegant accessorizing.

Scarves and hats make an elegant and versatile pair.

A silk scarf can transform a simple hat without requiring a new accessory for every outfit. Depending on the scarf, color and knot, the same hat can take on many different personalities. Here are several styling ideas.

~ GLAMOUR

Straw hat. Silk scarf 36x36” (90x90cm) folded diagonally. Large bow to the front.

~ ROMANTIC

Large straw hat. Oblong polka dot silk scarf – same color as the hat. Large fluffy bow to the front or the back.

~ STREET CHIC

Small black felt hat. Silk scarf 27x27” (70x70cm) folded diagonally. Little bow on the side.

~ SENSUOUS

Large natural straw hat. Silk scarf 36x36” (90x90cm) folded diagonally. Tied on the side with a little knot. One end much longer than the other.

 ~ MYSTERIOUS

White panama hat. Oblong polka dot scarf - contrasting color: black or other. Tied to the back. Two dangling trails.

~ CLASSIC

Straw or felt hat. Silk scarf 36x36” (90x90cm) folded diagonally. Tied to the back. Scarf ends: either the same size or one slightly longer.

Have fun experimenting with different scarf-and-hat combinations.
