Triangle Scarves: A Small Accessory with a Lot of Impact
Triangle scarves are everywhere right now. They’re definitely having a moment, but that doesn’t mean you need to add one to your wardrobe.
What this trend does bring, though, is accessibility. Because they’re popular, it’s easy to find small triangle scarves at many stores and at very different price points. That makes them a low-commitment piece to experiment with.
Why I Like Small Triangle Scarves
1. Just the right amount of warmth
A small triangle scarf adds warmth without bulk. If you choose one in cashmere or a soft wool blend, it’s perfect for those days when you don’t want a full scarf but still need a little extra layer.
2. An easy pop of color
Winter outfits can start to feel repetitive: lots of neutrals, lots of the same combinations. A triangle scarf is an easy way to introduce color near the face and make familiar outfits feel fresh again.
3. Different ties, different moods
This is where triangle scarves really shine. You can tie them in different ways depending on your outfit, your mood, or how casual or polished you want to feel that day.
Same scarf, different effect.
Trend or Not, Think Versatility
As always, my advice is not to buy something just because it’s trending.
If you enjoy accessories, like playing with proportions, and know you’ll actually wear it, a triangle scarf can be a great addition. If not, it’s perfectly fine to skip it.
Style is about choices, not rules.
If winter outfits are starting to feel repetitive, a Styling Hour can help you see new possibilities in what you already own from the comfort of your home.
