Styling Sweaters as Scarves is the Hottest New Street Style and Runway Trend

Take a page out of Bella Hadid's book and style your sweater around your neck, your waist, or crossbodydo anything but wear them.

From New York Fashion Week to Milan Fashion Week, the streets come alive with a kaleidoscope of fashion expressions, offering a glimpse into the ever-evolving landscape of style. Emerging trends in street style play a pivotal role in shaping fashion culture and inspiring designers, influencers, and fashion enthusiasts alike. With our attention being divided between the runway and street style, there was a particular look we witnessed in both: sweater scarves

We've all seen the classic ensemble of the sweater with a scarf, the scarf on the sweater, but what happens when you turn the sweater into the scarf? Transforming sweaters into scarves is the newest avant garde look for this season, and incredibly easy to style. Unsure about your affection for that particular sweater in your closet or are lacking a cute scarf in your wardrobe? Experiment by wrapping a sweater around your neck as a chic scarf accessory. By repurposing a sweater as a scarf, you not only breathe new life into your wardrobe, but also showcase creativity and flair for fashion in a unique and inventive way. Choosing the right sweater, experimenting with textures and patterns, and layering are key factors when styling the sweater scarf look correctly.

Take it from the handful of looks we've seen styled by New York and Milan fashion enthusiasts this past week and brands like Michael Kors, Proenza Schouler, Etro, and Brandon Maxwell that inspired the multi-purpose potential of a sweater. The scarf and sweater look is perfect for the cooler months.
