Jessica Alba: Scarf is an Everyday Fashion

When we started ScarvesWraps, one of our first few articles was a feature on celebrities who love wearing scarves day in and day out. Jessica Alba was one of them.  Even today, the actress is still a scarf fanatic. In fact, it seems her love of the accessory has magnified even further. For some reason (we’re not sure if it’s the spring weather or her baby bump dictating it), Jess has been spotted donning the scarf more often lately. Take a look at these pictures:

Jessica Alba and Her Scarf Wearing Days

Take note that these shots were all taken just this month. These don’t include the days when she was able to elude the camera. I’m pretty sure she wore scarves during those days too.

So what do you think of Jessica’s scarf style? As you can see, she mostly prefers scarves in solid colors, though she did opt for a tie dye piece in one of the pics. If you like Jessica Alba, and you like her style, then making the scarf a staple in your wardrobe is a must. Try different types too – infinity, fringed, triangular, long, square, extra large, cold weather knits, warm weather linens. If you’re on a budget, here are scarves that will cost you USD50 or less:

Here’s a piece of scarf that truly had me do a double take while browsing through Shopbop’s inventory. The moment I saw it I fell totally speechless. It looked like art paper at first. Of course, no scarf would be made out of art paper, let alone one from Diane Von Furstenberg, so I took a closer look. Boy was I amazed. I found it to be so brilliantly made! Take a look and see for yourself:

Amazing, right? Some may not appreciate it but I definitely can. That’s printed pure silk right there, with its edges cut across to fine strips to create the paper-like fringed appearance.  It’s definitely a one of a kind piece alright, and hats off to DVF for creating it. If you like it, feel free to shop for it at Shopbop. It’s a bit pricey for a scarf  though (as expected), it retails for USD175. Enjoy it and wear it with flair!
