Best neckerchiefs and silk scarves for an effortlessly high-end aesthetic

Grace Kelly & Cary Grant (Montecarlo) - (To Catch a Thief (1955, Paramount Pictures))

When we think of silk neckerchiefs, we think of vintage convertibles speeding across the French Riviera, carrying a blur of silk chiffon, brightly hued polka dots and florals which, when witnessed at a red light, appear to form a delicate headscarf.

Beneath said headscarf is the it-woman. Not a girl, but an easy, breezy, flirtatious vixen born for the summer sun and a cool ocean breeze. She has a Hepburn-style fringe, big cat-eye sunglasses and a bold red lip no matter the weather. Perhaps she’s wearing pearls from one of her many admirers, or a glistening diamond tennis bracelet which catches the light just right.
