Stylish Ways to Wear a Scarf This Summer: Your Ultimate Warm-Weather Accessory
Scarves are no longer just winter staples. In Summer 2025, these versatile accessories are making waves as fashionable warm-weather essentials. Crafted from breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or silk, scarves offer a sophisticated edge and add a splash of colour to your outfits—ideal for beach days, brunch dates, and casual get-togethers. Here's how to elevate your summer wardrobe with six effortlessly chic scarf styles.
1. Turn It Into a Trendy Top
An oversized scarf can easily double as a stylish top. Fold it into a triangle and tie it into a halter or tube style—perfect for music festivals, beach holidays, or even casual hangouts. This Y2K-inspired look brings an edgy, fresh twist to summer styling.
2. Wrap It Around Your Neck
For a more refined touch, try styling a scarf as a neck accessory. You can tie a smaller scarf into a bow or wear a larger one cravat-style. Draping a silk scarf around your shoulders creates an elegant shawl effect, ideal for evening outings or sophisticated brunches.
3. Style It Into Your Hair
Add a playful yet classy vibe to your hairstyle by incorporating a scarf. Whether wrapped around a ponytail, bun, or braid, a slim silk scarf can instantly elevate your everyday look, making it perfect for both casual days and special occasions.
4. Use It as a Belt
Highlight your waistline with a scarf instead of a traditional belt. Fold it into a slim band and either tie it around a dress or thread it through your jeans' belt loops. This easy trick infuses colour and personality into even the most basic outfits.
5. Drape It for a Boho Feel
Channel effortless chic by draping your scarf. Fold a square scarf into a triangle, position the point at your chest, and wrap the ends around your neck. The result is a casual yet eye-catching look suitable for day or night wear.
6. Master the French Knot
For timeless sophistication, opt for the French knot technique. Fold and wrap the scarf around your neck, tying it into a snug, double knot slightly off-center. This polished style works wonders for both professional and relaxed settings.
This summer, rethink how you wear your scarf. Whether you're dressing up a plain tee or adding flair to a sundress, these six styling ideas will keep you looking cool, elegant, and ahead of the fashion curve.

In Netherlands, a 200-year-old condom is on display at ‘Safe Sex?' exhibit
The Netherlands' national museum has a new or rather a bizarre object on display, a nearly 200-year-old condom emblazoned with erotic art, that merges art with Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District. It is part of an exhibition called "Safe Sex?" about 19th-century sex work that opened on Tuesday. The 200-year-old condom, possibly a souvenir from a brothel, is decorated with an erotic image of a nun and three clergymen. According to a CNN report, the condom measures under eight inches, and is in 'mint condition,' said Joyce Zelen, curator of prints at the museum in Netherlands. UV testing revealed it hasn't been used, she added. 'Condoms would have been sold under the counter at the time. This fact, as well as the print and the extended length of the condom, which is 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) long, suggest that this was 'a luxury brothel souvenir,' she said. The Rijksmuseum said in a statement that the playful prophylactic is believed to be made around 1830 from a sheep's appendix and 'depicts both the playful and the serious side of sexual health.' 'This is my choice,' makes the print a parody of both celibacy and the Judgement of Paris from Greek mythology,' AP news agency quoted museum's statement. The inscription, 'Voilà mon choix', meaning 'This is my choice' is written along the sheath in French. According to the museum, this is a reference to the Pierre-Auguste Renoir painting "The Judgment of Paris," which depicts the Trojan prince Paris judging a beauty contest between three goddesses. While this kind of condom was not likely to have been used, those designed to protect the wearer would have been made with similar materials, Zelen told CNN, adding that they would have provided minimal protection from unwanted pregnancies and sexual transmitted infections such as syphilis, which was a significant public health problem in 19th century Europe. The Rijksmuseum reportedly acquired the condom at auction six months ago and it is the first example of a print on a condom to form part of the museum's collection. The condom is on display until the end of November.
