Trend Alert: French Headscarfs Are the New Cool, Here Are All the Ways to Style it

Forever a look

The headscarf has been around the block, historically speaking.

Having remained in the centerfolds of a contentious debate about women’s rights, identity, and power for centuries, it’s been donned by women from different eras, different social worlds, and different cultures, truly proving itself to be an accessory that is both timeless and versatile.

Today we know it best for its French rendition, i.e., the square silk scarf that was popularized by the likes of French fashion house giants, like Hermès et Cartier, which is trending yet again in 2025, being styled as a neckerchief, or a foulard, if you’re feeling fancy.
