The rise of sweater scarves — from Princess Diana to Jennifer Lawrence and the fashion editors in Paris

They’re nothing if not resourceful. Fashion insiders — specifically editors, some now in their fourth consecutive week in the chiffon trenches — have taken to updating their outfits with an easy styling trick in Paris: tie a jumper into a scarf, layered on top of more knitwear, or your coat.

It was perhaps best sold by London label 16Arlington — there, designer Marco Capaldo sent men and women out wearing thick knits tied to the left, for an eye-catching asymmetric effect. Long grey skirts, patent leather trousers — regardless of what you pair it with, a contrast sweater scarf can elevate a look.
