Wrap Game: Our Favorite Scarves

With New York temperatures in the 70's one day and the 40's the next, getting dressed in the morning can be quite the challenge. You know the situation: that snuggly shearling bomber jacket seemed like a great idea in when you left your apartment in the early morning fog, but it feels like torture during an unbelievably warm al fresco lunch. Maybe you set out for some late afternoon fresh air and found yourself shivering as soon as the sun set. Our solution: wrap up with a scarf for a simple and stylish layer of warmth you can easily stash in your bag if the weather changes. To help get you started, we've picked out some of our favorites for the ladies, including some pieces by Flying A in-house designer Sophia Costas.

1. V-Dragon Night ($69) by Becksondergaard

2. Wada Wrap ($198) by Humanoid

3. Elephant Scarf ($129) by Sophia Costas

4. Beetle Lightweight Wool Scarf ($129) by Sophia Costas

5. V-Another Nova Scarf ($109) by Becksondergaard

6. Flowertribe Scarf ($129) by Alison Oliver for Sophia Costas*

Five Surprising Ways to Wear a Summer Scarf

The Tube Top: 

1. Fold your scarf in half so that the scarf remains the same length but skinnier.

2. Place the center of the folded scarf (with the folded edge upright) at the front of your chest and wrap the ends around your torso, creating a tube top.* The back should form a V. 

3. Bring the two ends to the front and tie a simple knot. You can tie it however you wish, but we crossed the ends and tucked them under so that the knot was visible but the ends weren't.

* Take care to wrap your scarf tightly at this point, so that it doesn't slip. You can also fold down the folded edge of the scarf once more like we did to adjust to length.

SCENE CITY: Around Soho & Flying A

JUST IN: Becksondergaard S/S 2012

We've long been fans of Copenhagen-based line Becksondergaard for their fanciful yet wearable designs and Scandinavian aesthetic. Their S/S 2012 campaign featuring the adorable Danish actress Sara Hjort Ditlevsen demonstrates the brand's charm, and let's face it, we're totally in love. (We would also like to figure out how to pull off head accessories as well as she does.)

The brand is known for their uh-mazing scarves featuring whimsical prints and hand-drawn illustrations. And that's not it. We've just received a shipment of their mini convertible bags in buttery soft leather. Seriously. We're talking melt in your hands soft. They'll be up on the website really soon, so check back! Or you lucky New Yorkers can pick them up at our Soho store.
