When the spring 2026 fashion shows wrapped in early October, there was one accessory that stood out in my mind: the silk scarf. The classic foulard was all over the runways, and in the months that followed, everyone in the office started wearing them—around their necks, in their hair, on their bags, tied around their waists. I've never been a big fan of a silk scarf, so I decided to do a deep dive into its past and present to understand why it's so popular now. —Brooke Bobb, fashion news director |
