The Always Stylish Silk Scarf
A silk scarf is more than just an accessory. It has the power to transform a simple outfit into something special and adds the finishing touch to whatever you wear.
I’ve been collecting them for as long as I can remember because they’re the forever accessory that never goes out of style. They’re also the perfect way to stretch your wardrobe while traveling which takes up no space in your suitcase.
When LilySilk asked me to help promote their Valentine’s Sale I zeroed in on the two things I think most women appreciate. Silk scarves and silk pillowcases.
I don’t wear florals in my garments but I love them in silk scarves. This scarf has hand-rolled edges and a subtle sheen like scarves costing ten or more times its price. The silk is luxuriously soft and drapes beautifully.
The above photos show it tied in a simple triangle, turned different directions. I shared several other ways to tie a square silk scarf 
I simply draped into the neckline of a black jacket here to brighten the look.
I tried sleeping onĀ 
They’re luxuriouslyĀ soft and a treat to lay on. These are available in varying thread counts and many gorgeous colors. I always choose white because it feels so clean. I simply machine wash and hang themĀ to dry. I also feel better knowing this silk isĀ OEKO-TEX certified to be free of nasty chemicals.
Have you tried silk pillowcases?
This sale runs until January 28 with up to 30% off silk pajamas, 20% off silk comforters and more, plus LilySilk is giving my readers an extra 12% off everything with the code awellstyledlife at checkout.
Do you wear silk scarves?
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
Thanks to LilySilk for partnering on this post. They supplied the scarf and pillowcase but all opinions are my own.
Iām only 5ā and always look for ways to appear taller. I love scarfs and have many. Would appreciate pictures of different ways to wear them.
That shade of blue is perfect for you and works so well with the scarf.
Blue is one of my favs since I have blue eyes. I also have silver/white hair and also wear most colors well.
The sweater and scarf are made for each other. Both look beautiful on you. Do you have any information on your sweater? I would love to get both. Thank you, Cathie
Sorry to report the sweater is cashmere, from Costco many years ago. They often have great values and cashmere is a classic.
Thanks to you, I asked for and received silk pillowcases for Christmas. I’m loving them!
Thatās awesome Cyndi š
I asked for and received satin pillowcases for Christmas and have been enjoying sleeping on them.
Thatās wonderful Elaine. I love them too.
What color is your lipstick and what earrings?
Hi Phyllis, My earrings are here and the lipstick is here in “Fig”.
You look lovely in these colors, Jennifer…such a great color palette for you. Brightens winter up!
Thanks Pam! I love the colors in this scarf.
Really love the black jacket and scarf. Could you share where you purchased the black jacket? Love your blog!
Hi Susan, the jacket is here
A beautiful silk scarf is always a welcome addition!
Agreed!
I love scarves. I have also collected them.for many years. Not only do they bring a splash of color up around the face, but can also hide or distract from a number of figure flaws. I haven’t tried a silk pillowcase, but am now intrigued to do it. Thanks Jennifer.
They sure do Jill! I hide lots of things with mine š
Do you have a good way to store your scarves
I fold mine and store them on shelves. The wraps I hang on felted pant hangers.
the only thing kept me on buying a silk pillow is the cleaning. Silk you can only wash with 30 max. 40 degrees
and that temperature doesn’t bring out the nightcream etc. Do you have any tipp? I am really keen to try it
(at least for the wrinkles).
I wash mine in cold and havenāt had a problem. I must use a lighter face cream
Thank you for reminding me to visit my collection of dozens of beautiful silk and other scarves. Iām tired of all my jewelry and scarves are a great substitute.
Love the featured peony scarf. I will buy anything with peonies. Great colors to perk up grey January Michigan days.
Thanks for the inspiration, Jennifer.
They look so pretty on nearly any solid blouse or sweater I think. Because winter is fairly cold here, for my outerwear (coats, jackets) I do choose a heavier fabric, just for the added warmth. But, yes, silk scarves help to jazz up an outfit.
I have not tried silk pillowcases yet…maybe I will. Thanks Jennifer!
Youāre right Paulette, they donāt add any warmth!
I do have several scarves that I like to wear to add a little interest to a plain top.
And I’ve been sleeping on silk pillowcases for years – won’t go back to cotton!
Iāll never go back to cotton either! Iām so glad I discovered them.
