It was brought to my attention today by my fellow ATF’er, Ian Jarrell, that Arab scarves are still considered a major fashion statement to about 74% of the population. Not haute!
If you are an owner of one of these must-not-haves, do me a favor and just throw it in your garbage can! It’s only about $5 anyway. And because I’m all about solutions, I won’t just tell you to throw it away. I will give you some more chic options to choose from to replace this tired trend:
ANIMAL PRINT
Kim Kardashian
Flirt For ASOS Animal Scarf $15.24, ASOS
Flirt Luxury Animal Scarf $18.37, ASOS
ASOS Shimmer Leopard Scarf $15.63, ASOS
Lightweight Giraffe Print Scarf $12.50, Old Navy
Leopard Print Sheer Scarf $7.80, Forever 21
Animal print is a good look, and a good replacement for the arab scarf. It is a fierce way to go, and you can never go wrong! Animal prints will always be in style.
PAISLEY
Hilary Duff
Flirt Paisley Oversized Luxury Scarf $18.76, ASOS
Flirt Luxury Paisley Scaf $18.37, ASOS
Heritage 1981 Paisley Chiffon Scarf $4.90, Forever 21
Anna Sui Psychedelic Paisley Scarf $66, Shopbop
Now, you can either make paisley work for you or you can just do it all wrong. This specific print doesn’t work for everybody, so beware!
STRIPES
Jessica Simpson
Striped Jersey Scarf $12.50, Old Navy [also comes inyellow, purple and pink & blue ombre]
Michael Stars Parallel Stripe Wrap $28, Revolve Clothing
Juicy Couture Striped Cotton Scarf $75, Shopbop
Striped Scarf $4.99, Forever 21
Stripes are classic! You will never ever be called out for wearing stripes! You can make it work in any weather or season (well, you may look a little silly in the late spring/summer)
Any of these styles or choices would be a good replacement for the Arab scarf. I don’t care if you pair these joints with a kufi, just STOP WEARING ARAB SCARVES. I’m done.
OMG YES! THANK YOU! PLEASE LET THE ARAB SCARF TREND DIE!
AWW Loves it…
Kim Kardashian always beautiful!!!
LOL what about the people who’s culture its a part of? I’m mad that someone’s culture became a trend.
[...] What fashion trends are cool this year with the college crowd? It’s always hard to say. Fashion trends are so fleeting that the very idea that something has become ‘cool’ leads to its inevitable demise. In fact, a few months ago, Arab Scarves were considered hot – now not so hot. [...]
