The foulard (vintage style) enters the list of essentials for the summer by right

Among the fashion commandments of Spring / Summer 2022 is that of having at least one available in the fashion arsenal a scarf, to be worn strictly on the head. In the next season there are essentially two ways to do it with style, with quite different styling: bandana model, seasoned with nostalgic and very clear references to the 90s, and glamorous grannythat is, knotted under the chin which does grandma and Sophia Loren at the same time.

We focus here on the second type that not only continues a trend already started this winter (present on the F / W catwalk at Max Mara, Dior and Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini) but also because, thanks to two icons à la page of the small screen, has had a boost in popularity, so much so that several celebs have been caught in recent times with the scarf tied in the vintage way: Miriam Leone, Alexa Chung, Rihanna (paparazzi with the $ 2,500 Gucci x Balenciaga scarf) and, among the latest, Julia Fox, Kanye West aka Ye’s new flame caught wearing a black yoke to complement the black leather trench coat. We see them all below:

We know the influence of TV series on fashion, so we all immediately add scarves to the cart if to go to Saint Tropez Lily Collins in Emily in Paris he wears one that immediately looks 60s and, above all, if Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in And Just Like That it shows itself with the babushka-style knotted yoke, albeit to protect the hair from the smell of the cigarette. The fashion die is definitely cast.

And to show it off, again, is also the protagonist of the new Netflix series (played by Julia Garner) by Shonda Rhimes, Inventing Anna, available from 11 February.

We emphasize that, in addition to divas such as Sophia Loren, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly, the absolute icon of reference for this trend remains the model Veruschka which, in the 60s, made it almost its distinctive mark in terms of look.

The silk scarf (the most chic) ​​but also in fabric, can, after all, transform an outfit: it elevates it in a second, without forgetting that it turns into the BFF of anyone with a bad hair day. Therefore it represents a classic but functional piece at the same time.

Not to mention that, in style Proustian, together with the smell of Elnett lacquer and red lipstick, it brings to mind everyone’s grandmothers. And if you say “foulard” you cannot fail to mention Her Majesty of the grannies too, Queen Elizabeththe most important headscarf influencer ever.

The queen especially loves Hermès models, from vintage to more contemporary. The French fashion house has even released a carré in limited edition in 2016 in honor of his 90th birthday. We like to think that Elizabeth II is a bit of inspiration then for the Spring / Summer 2022 catwalks so we immediately feel ready for a weekend in the Hamptons. From models in simple and fresh linen (Duncan), to those in lace (Laquan Smith), from those in graceful organza (Bora Aksu) or in silk and combined, to make them cross-over, to baseball caps (Versace and Fendi di Versace).

Clear, therefore, that we will continue to channel our inner Dolce Vita also for the next beautiful days. To follow the trend and dream of being a star, take a look at the gallery immediately.
