Fashion trends come and go, while iconic pieces endure. Silk scarves remain closely associated with style icons such as Jackie Kennedy, Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn.Their elegant styling helped make the silk scarf an enduring fashion accessory.
The leather jacket has an equally iconic place in fashion and popular culture, associated with figures ranging from Marlon Brando to Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones.
Pairing silk with leather creates an appealing contrast: the softness and movement of a silk scarf against the structure and texture of a leather jacket.
Is it new? Not exactly. In the 1930’s both were vital items of flight gears. At that time, pioneer aviators would need them to stay warm and to survive in wide-open cockpits. A leather bomber jacket and a simple white silk scarf were the usual - and mandatory - uniform.
Amelia Earhart changed a little the rule. She was the first “aviatrix” (feminine for a female pilot…) to fly solo across the Atlantic. Who remembers she was also an editor at Cosmopolitan magazine? Other than being a talented and brave aviator, Earhart had a true sense of fashion and elegance. Most photos we have from her show her with a leather jacket and a fancy silk scarf - not a white one… Earhart was the first one who inspired a new, ultra feminine, and timeless style.
Today, the combination remains an easy way to mix two timeless accessories.
You can opt for a classic aviator leather jacket...
Or for a fancy leather jacket...
In any case, to accent your look, we recommend you tie your silk square scarf in the cowboy style: fold it into a triangle and bring the pointing tip to the front before tying your silk scarf to the back of your neck
For a strong but effortless contrast, combine an ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk scarf with a leather jacket.
