Before we say goodbye to the sunny season, let’s have one last round of summer-themed scarf looks. This list is certainly not your usual. You’ll see kimonos, cover-ups, and scarves turned into dresses, blouses, and even tube tops!

It’s a unique group of fashionistas that will definitely inspire you to dig through your collection of scarves and see them in a whole new light. Will you be channeling any of these ladies anytime soon?

1. Kimono Scarf

Kimonos don’t have to be boho all the way. You can take a cue from Lara of The 109 Block and layer it with a preppy item for a more interesting mix. Don’t you love her style?

2. Bird-Print Cover-Up

We honestly don’t know her name. Somehow, this pretty fashionista who pens the blog, District of Chic, has made it a point to stay mysterious.

First, we can’t get enough of her pretty bird-print cover-up. It’s one of those pieces you just throw on, then boom! Instant fabulousity. Secondly, we love how she punctuated the simple outfit with heels. It just made the whole outfit look even more glam.

3. Headscarf

Kaykay is one-half of Sugar and Spice, a blog created by two very fashionable best friends out to share their musings and sartorial escapades to the world. Her BFF, Madeline Becker, completes the dynamic duo.

For today, however, we’re going to focus on Kay, and how beautifully coordinated her outfit is. She shot these photos for a promotion for Levi’s, but what we actually can’t take our eyes off of aren’t the jeans. Instead, we can’t stop looking at her headscarf! It’s a small addition, and yet, made such a huge difference to the outfit.

Tired of wrapping your scarf around the neck? Do the head wrap instead. The drama you’ll get out of it will be way so much more. Case in point, this look put together by Janet of Styled by Janet.

8. Multicolored Menbur Scarf

You know how a print or painting can hypnotize you? Well, that’s exactly how we felt when we saw Susanna’s multicolored scarf from Menbur.

Coupled with the coordinated outfit and beautiful backdrop, she basically painted quite a picture. Susanna is an artisan who specializes in hand-crafted pieces. Her namesake blog, Susanna Vesna, is no longer available online.

9. Tube/Bikini Top

With a name like that, you’d probably think she’s from some Latin country. But Mon Ceccato is a lass from down under. She’s here today because we so love the surprising way she used her scarf as a tube/bikini top!

10. Chic Head Wrap

You will probably mistake her for a Cali girl if you didn’t know it. But the truth is, Alexandra is from Spain. She’s also the kind of fashionista you’ll enjoy stalking, simply because she exudes that always-effortlessly-chic style that is so hard to copy.

11. Denim Shorts With Belt

Normally, denim cutoffs don’t require a belt. But if you have to wear one and you don’t want to, go with a scarf instead. It will lend a softer look to your daisy dukes. And when worn with a printed tank or crop top, it will give the outfit that unique print-on-print flavor.
