Move Over Baseball Hats—This Accessory Trend Makes Basics Look Much More Elegant

I’ll be the first to say it, I love a basic outfit. Plain, simple, and sleek are always top of mind when I’m getting dressed for the day. However, I’m feeling bored with my basic outfits lately and have been ruminating about ways to make them look more elegant. Well, I clocked Rihanna’s recent outfit in Beverly Hills, and it instantly clicked: Wear a silk scarf like you would, say, a baseball hat.

It’s established that Rih is one of the most stylish moms in the fashion sphere, and the laid-back outfit she was just photographed wearing in Beverly Hills is proof. She wore a plain white button-down shirt and dark-wash cuffed jeans, croc-print heeled flip flops from Amina Muaddi, and a silk monogrammed scarf by Valentino tied around her head. (Other accessories, such as her sunglasses and ever-cascading layered necklaces, also dressed up her outfit.)
