Another Spring Must-Have: Tie-Dye Scarves

Here’s another must-have for spring – Tie Dye Scarves. Tie dye is making a big comeback this season, and a strong indication of that is how this fabric ruled the 2010 Spring runways of brands like Rodarte, Calvin Klein, Lela Rose, Proenza Schoulder, and Blumarine, just to name a few.

Clearly, if these brands are using tie dye fabrics on their runway clothing, then it won’t take long for this fabric to translate into accessories like scarves. So while the trend is hot, best to grab a few tie dye neck pieces from your favorite department store so you can flaunt to your girlfriends that you’re in fashion.

Now if you don’t like the hassle of driving and parking, then best to shop online.  Here’s a  beautiful multicolored tie dye piece we found at Shopbop.com:

2010 Spring Must-Have: The Silk Scarf

If the knitted tube scarf was “the” item to have last winter, this spring it is the silk scarf. It is everywhere this season, starting from big brands like Prada, Emilio Pucci, Gucci, and Hermes. And I mean literally everywhere, from clothing, to shoes, to accessories. Check out the items below and tell me what you think:
