The ocean has a way of inspiring us, whether we live by the coast or dream of the sea from a city far away. Its changing colors and maritime details are at the heart of this scarf.

The Brise de Mer (Sea Breeze) silk scarf brings together foamy waves, colorful signal flags and delicate seashells. Its ocean-inspired shades offer plenty of ways to wear it through the seasons.

Looking for styling ideas? Here are five ways to wear the Nautical Ocean Blue scarf.

Glamorous Kelly style

For a classic Grace Kelly-inspired look, fold the scarf into a triangle and drape it over your head. Bring the ends beneath your chin and around to the back of your neck, then secure them with a gentle knot.

Men's tie style with a brooch

Fold the scarf into a long band and drape it around your neck. To add a vintage brooch, fasten it to your top and arrange the scarf around it. Avoid putting a pin through the silk, which could damage the fabric.

A brooch complements the gold-chain details in the design. Let the scarf sit slightly to one side for an effortless, asymmetrical finish.

Classy shawl wrap

To show more of the nautical design, fold the scarf into a triangle and drape it over one shoulder. Tie the ends on the opposite shoulder. Et voilà! Try it over a blouse, a dress or even a winter coat.

Street chic headscarf

This headscarf keeps hair in place on a breezy day and adds a maritime accent to a city outfit. We especially like it with a light blue coat.

Hip Ponytail

A silk scarf can transform a simple ponytail. Fold it into a long band, wrap it around the base of your ponytail once or twice, and tie it underneath so the ends can fall freely.
