The Scarf Print - L'imprimé Foulard

Prints are one of the biggest trends this season and scarf prints seem to be on their way to becoming the most popular of them. A scarf print is a print which you would typically see on a classic scarf, like an Hermès scarf. This season your entire wardrobe could look like a Hermès scarf and who can say no to that ?

To show your friends that you know what you're talking about call it a foulard print, scarf in french which is also the word "à la mode" to describe a scarf print.
The scarf print... scarf
The easiest way to adopt this trend is to wear a silk scarf (yes, that easy !). You might already have one in your wardrobe so there is no spending involved to be right on trend.

The scarf print blouse
Wearing a silk blouse with jeans seems to be the winning combo amongst fashion bloggers, wear a silk blouse with destroyed boyfriend jeans to be super trendy or with white jeans for a chic look to the office.

The scarf print shorts
Mini shorts are probably the most versatile way of wearing the scarf print. As you can see from these pictures the scarf print shorts look good with anything (if you style it right, bien sûr !). They are perfect with a simple white man shirt as Rumi, a sporty twist like my dear Jen or a simple blazer as seen on E.

 The scarf print shorts are definitely my favorite, and the options are endless. If you're into DYI projects you can easily transform an old scarf into a cool pair of new shorts. Check out how to do it by following Geneva's tutorial here.  The scarf print trousers
I have talked about the silk trousers in the blog a few months ago so I don't need to tell you how much I like these. Wear them with a simple top and a leather jacket and you're good to go !

The scarf print total look
The scarf print total look seems too risky in real life but on paper nothing can beat the head to toes foulard outfit which Kristin wore.

How about you, are you into this trend ?
As for me, I think I'm going to pass on the foulard trend, or maybe I should use it as an excuse for splurging on a Hermès scarf...
