A printed scarf belt, knotted neatly around your waist, instantly adds interest to your look …

The way to wear the trend? With simple but distinctive pieces. Think: flowing trousers, leather thong sandals and a summer-leaning handbag or chapeau.
A printed scarf-cum-belt also pairs excellently with jeans (make them a summery shade of white).
As for the scarf, choose classic patterns such as paisley, florals or a vivid Pucci-style print. Make sure the size is large enough that it will still look generous when folded on the diagonal.
What to wear on top? Try a white button-down shirt or a simple tank top to keep things streamlined.

Is it a scarf, is it a top? Whichever the option, a zebra print sings against this otherwise neutral look. Nod to style influencer and writer Leandra Cohen and choose a tassel accessory to finish.
