Scarves for Women - Effortless Style for Every Season
Our collection of scarves for women has been curated to offer both beauty and utility. A silk scarf can be the highlight of a minimal look, lending polish without effort. A Winter scarf can make the simplest jeans-and-knit ensemble look intentional. And a lightweight wrap can travel from beachside cover-up to evening shawl in a heartbeat.
At Something Pretty, we see scarves as more than accessories — they are investments in style. Our luxury scarves for women are crafted from soft, breathable fabrics designed to feel as good as they look. From scarves in neutral palettes to colourful scarves for women who love bold statements, there is something for every personality and mood.
From Silk to Wool – Choosing the Right Scarf
When it comes to silk scarves for women, it’s all about movement and sheen. These pieces frame the face beautifully, elevate simple outfits and can even be styled as hair accessories or waist ties. For cooler days, our Winter scarves South Africa collection focuses on warmth without bulk, premium scarves for women that drape naturally and retain their shape.
Infinity scarves for women offer an easy, fuss-free style that works well layered over blazers, coats or knitwear. And for Summer, our lightweight scarves keep you cool while adding texture and interest to your outfit.
How to Wear Scarves with Confidence
Pairing a scarf with an outfit is about balance. A colourful scarf can lift neutral tailoring, while a chic women's scarf in soft monochrome can anchor bolder prints. Stylish ladies’ scarves can be looped close to the neck for a tailored finish or draped long for a relaxed, elongating effect.
Our designer scarves South Africa edit includes pieces that work for both casual layering and elegant evening wear, ensuring you always have the right scarf for the occasion.

FAQ
Scarves for Women
Dressing well at any age is about confidence and fit. After 50, focus on quality fabrics, flattering cuts and pieces that feel timeless. Scarves are an easy way to introduce colour, texture and interest to an outfit without overhauling your style.
For a slimming effect, wear your scarf draped vertically without too much bulk around the neck. This draws the eye downward and elongates your frame.
Start with the outfit’s neckline and fabric weight in mind. Pair light scarves with delicate blouses and heavier knits with winter scarves. Ensure the drape feels balanced and the ends are even.
Consider fabric, season and purpose. Silk scarves are ideal for adding polish, while wool or cashmere are better for warmth. Colour choice can complement or contrast your wardrobe staples.
Match tone-on-tone for subtlety or contrast for impact. Let printed scarves enhance solid outfits, and solid scarves calm bold prints.
A silk or soft cotton head scarf tied turban-style or knotted at the nape can cover thinning areas while looking stylish.
Loop loosely once and let the ends hang for balance, or wrap once around the neck for warmth without overwhelming your frame.
Use a lightweight scarf, thread through belt loops or tie at the side for a soft, bohemian effect.
Layer an infinity scarf over a denim or leather jacket, or drape a long scarf and let it hang under an open coat for a relaxed look.
Pair with modern separates so the scarf is the statement. Tie at the neck, wear as a head scarf, or drape over the shoulders.
Choose high-quality fabrics, neat folds and understated patterns. Silk scarves for ladies always add refinement.
Look for fine stitching, quality fabric and a finish that drapes naturally.
Fold evenly before tying or looping, and adjust so both ends hang symmetrically.
Updos and ponytails work well with neck scarves. Loose waves pair beautifully with head scarves.
