The devil is in the detail when it comes to finishing off a look and this affordable outfit update is our fast track to updating your everyday wardrobe. Here’s how to style this season’s much-loved neckerchief trend…
Small but mighty, for such an understated accessory the neckerchief covers a lot of sartorial ground. Pair it with the classic combo of white tee and jeans and it instantly adds a vintage flair; layer into a double denim look and you’re bang on the money for 2024’s love affair with all things Western; or style it up with more feminine pieces for a romantic, French girl feel.
There are tonnes to choose from at the moment, from high-end investments which offer a more polished feel – we’re looking at your Toteme silky monochrome dream, to quick high street wins at Accessories and H&M. The latter of which coincidentally currently has a great Toteme dupe for a fraction of the price.
We know we wax lyrical about Sézane’s everyday bounty when it comes to getting dressed, but here we go again, as their neckerchiefs really are great. From their ditsy prints to their vintage-inspired colourways and slightly faded cotton finish, they will add a rock ‘n’ roll edge to simple, pared-back looks. We have our eye on the green Maryse style paired with a Breton and SS24’s bonded leather jacket style. Whilst Levi’s scarlet red bandana in Paisley print is perhaps the GOAT of all-neckerchiefs – simply pair it with a white t-shirt or grey marl sweat for an easy but elevated weekend look.
It’s also well worth checking out the menswear department for neckerchiefs, where you’ll find particularly good prints and more muted colourways – Zara is often a good shout. And it goes without saying, that vintage stores always produce the goods when it comes to authentic, lived-in pieces.
Styling wise, there are plenty of Insta stars providing inspiration on the trend. From Brittany Bathgate’s sophisticated take with white denim and leather monochrome to Tin Vcb’s only rule of “there are no rules” mishmash of stripes and colours, are tied together with red shoes, statement red sunnies and a neckerchief. Whist fashion influencer veteran, Leandra Medine Cohen, pairs a silk neck-tie with inky denim, a bold knit and a statement boho jacket for a kitsch take on the trend.
