Jackie Kennedy & Summer Scarves

Jackie Kennedy, Italy, circa 1960s

 Jackie Kennedy was such a style icon. Scarves were very much part of that persona and there are a myriad of photographs of her donning a scarf, often Hermés.

Besides being quite chic, scarves are practical as well. They are great on a boat, in a convertible, or on a bad hair day. Scarves can be worn in so many ways - on your head, around your neck, as a top, or tied around the handle of your handbag.

I posted last week on this great St. Tropez T-shirt I grabbed last weekend. Of course, St. Tropez was a favorite destination of Jackie Kennedy.

They also have this elegant design in a silk scarf. I find it funny that J.Crew calls their scarves oversized bandanas. I assume they feel that the word scarf sounds dated. Similarly, coats nowadays are often called jackets.

At any rate, I think this is a great scarf that I would use a lot. I am wearing this Mark Sikes MDS Stripes dress tonight and it would look great tied around my handbag handle.
