Micro Trend: Variations on the Scarf Print

80's GIANNI VERSACE Scarf Print Blouse-$328

PUCCI Graphic Scarf Print Chain Handle Minuaderie-$188

Playing with the notion of the leisurely times that are the basis of Resort, Prada's Resort 2010 collection was a far cry from this fall's austerity with it's fresh take on the iconic scarf print, a resort stand-by. While at Pucci, a house known for it's scarf prints, Peter Dundas sent out a brigade of some of the sexiest variations on the house's printed legacy. Which brings us to our point, incorporating the whimsical appeal of scarf prints into the everyday wardrobe.

Take this 80's era Gianni Versace scarf printed blouse for instance, its soothing blue colorway and bold ultra-femme print will look just as good on the beach paired with some short shorts as it would at the office under a smart blazer with some relaxed pants. And if prints of such bold nature aren't your thing, think about how easily our Pucci silk printed minauderie can liven up even the strictest of looks with just a splash of opulence.
