The Blue Fly Away Paisley scarf is full of vivid movement – birds, waves, and paisleys – balanced by a soft, structured border that picks up the yellow of the Limestone dress. Styled as a classic triangle wrap, it emphasizes the matching limestone motif which gives the whole look a natural transition, grounding the bold pattern in something familiar. It’s a print that energises, but still complements, drawing the eye to the upper body.

The Limestone dress is calm and grounded, with its soft yellow and easy shape. Here’s where breaking the uniformity with vivid patterns and unifying with colour adds a gorgeous pop. 

The key here is the scarf. The Blue Paisley Leafish scarf is a shapeshifter.

In the first look, the scarf is styled long and loose, wrapped once around the neck and left to fall down the front. This knot gives the scarf height and presence while still showing off its full length and vibrant border. With the Alcachofa shirt, it feels layered and dynamic – the organic Alcachofa pattern meeting its match in the scarf for soft repetition and flowing colours. 

But with the Red Stone dress, the same scarf takes on a bolder edge. Draped wide across the shoulders and styled as a shawl, it highlights both contrast and flow: the crisp border meets the dress’s loose, scattered print for a striking, high-impact pairing, while the matching red stone motif connects both garments.

The Duo Parwaaz scarf is styled here as a sarong and shares its exact pattern with the top as well as the red stone motif. Fold the scarf and wrap around the waist to show the matching Parwaaz print, and you’ve got built-in cohesion. Or flip it the other way to reveal the Red Stone print for a layered contrast that still feels intentional. It’s an easy way to turn a scarf into a statement that elevates any simple garment.

This is visual duality at its best. The Duo Shuja scarf is styled simply – draped over the shoulders and belted at the waist to frame and structure with intent. One side matches the Blue Shuja print of the top exactly; the other introduces the Limestone motif for contrast. Layering them brings out subtle shifts in scale and placement. Effortless coordination.

If you’re building your wardrobe around one scarf, make it a paisley scarf.

Pair it with other red or green-based pieces from your wardrobe with something as simple as a white shirt – and the scarf does the rest. You can wear it knotted at the neck, over the shoulder, or as a top, tied at the back. Whatever the mood or the weather, this scarf adapts.

A clear example of scarf-as-top styling. The Red Fly Away Paisley scarf is wrapped into a halter, knotted at the neck and tucked at the waist, creating a sculpted shape that highlights the print’s movement. Paired with the Blue Zor reversible wrap skirt, the scarf picks up on the contrast details and brings them forward. It’s bright, expressive, and easy to dress up or down.

With its striking black-and-white pattern and bold red border, the Fly Away scarf brings contrast and definition to a simple outfit. Worn over a white shirt and black shorts, it elevates the whole look. Tie it loosely in the front or let the red border fall down the shoulders like a frame – it adds edge without overpowering.

The Fuchsia Paisley Leafish scarf is wrapped here like a sash, adding shape, colour, and a little fun to a crisp white shirt. The mix of pinks, greens, and yellows creates a painterly belt effect, tying the whole outfit together at the waist.

The scarf as more than just a scarf

When it comes to scarves, versatility is the point. Wrap it at the waist, drape it over your shoulders, knit it as a top – each styling choice creates a different mood, a different focus for your entire outfit.

So don’t just wear a scarf. Style it, play with it, make it part of the look. We hope this short guide has convinced you to see your scarves as more than an accessory. The possibilities are endless with the vibrant and versatile patterns and creations of Lavina Peswani.
