Paisley Panache

Floral motifs will always be on-trend, but right now, we are partial to all things paisley. As previously spotlighted, the teardrop print renders a ‘70s-style effect on any garment or accessory it touches. Shown here today in the form of Derek Lam’s Silk Scarves, we can think of few more dapper ways to delve into the fad.

Echoing prints from Lam’s pre-fall runway show—seen here and here—these soft stoles have us dreaming of the ways in which we’d wear them: around our neck, tied on a handbag or even displayed as a décor accent. Made of 100% silk, each designer scarf promises the wearer endless opportunities to update lackluster outfits. Our gut instinct? Style one or the other with a collared top, satin pants and pointy-toe heels to achieve a little bit of paisley perfection.
