Recently, we talked about Jelly shoes<\/a>, making a comeback in trends for the second consecutive year. And indeed, these are not the only ones wanting to keep their place in the hearts, as this spring-summer also sees the return of the scarf belt<\/strong>, namely, tying a scarf around the waist. Adopted in a slightly different way this year, for a touch of novelty, let’s rediscover today how to add this detail to our outfits – and why not make it ourselves with a DIY crochet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scarf belting: the trend that hasn’t said its last word<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seen last year, but in a rather sporadic and ephemeral manner, the scarf at the waist is determined to make an impression this season. Adopted by style icons like Jennifer Lawrence and Kendall Jenner, scarf belting has also made its return on the SS2026 runways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether at Dries Van Noten, Malene Birger, or Ferragamo, the fabric redefines the silhouette by marking the waist with a detail that completely transforms an outfit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to adopt the scarf belt in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the scarf was mainly worn in its triangular form in 2025, several variations seem to entice for this spring-summer 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Silk scarf for a more sophisticated outfit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In its second year in trends, scarf belting reveals itself in a more distinguished appearance<\/strong>. Specifically, we observe a tendency for pieces made of silk, in solid colors or patterns. This material, which reveals a more elegant finish, allows for the addition of a refined detail<\/strong> to an outfit and helps create a sophisticated silhouette.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing in the tones of your outfit for a more delicate spirit, the scarf adapts to both body-hugging pieces and a looser t-shirt. Furthermore, we also find it beautifully integrated into a dressy evening outfit<\/strong>, as well as a more casual look for the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, these fabrics are often punctuated with fringes at their ends<\/a>, allowing you to adopt two trends at once, as they are also making a comeback!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rectangular scarf for a more assertive scarf belting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While the triangular scarf remains in trend, we discover in the SS26 look books more models playing on length<\/strong> that mark the waist even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, while the triangle version brought a graphic detail to the silhouette, while remaining relatively understated, this year, the scarf becomes the centerpiece of outfits<\/strong>, making scarf belting a more than ever asserted intention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now utilizing long rectangular fabrics, the accessory thus complements outfits with new lines, redefining the modern silhouette. On one hand, the ends of the fabrics lay on the garment with length and character<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then, a more complex and assertive tying work<\/strong> takes part of the waist. Unlike the triangular scarf, which is tied with a relatively simple and discreet knot, long rectangular fabrics allow for more emphasis on the bust – while also leaving the possibility to wear the scarf in a more casual manner<\/strong>, for example by threading it through the loops of your pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here too, the accessory presents versatility in the way it can be worn. Notably, its long format allows it to make an effect whether adopted over pants or tied around a coat.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scarf belt or crochet over-pants for more relief<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Here is a variation that adds a charming relief to an outfit. Crochet scarves<\/a> are no longer just meant for neckwear, but are also decorating our hips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made through various models, ranging from the usual scarf shape to longer pieces resembling over-skirts \/ over-pants, these crochet DIYs<\/a> allow for transforming an outfit with a craft side that we particularly appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Found under the name of “crochet waist scarf belt”<\/strong>, we come across various online tutorials to guide us step by step in making this crochet DIY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the inspirations are so numerous that we can easily turn to models matching our level – and it is perfectly possible to make this piece by knitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Revealing itself with crocheted motifs more or less openwork<\/strong>, some models even tend towards a net effect, punctuated by a few beads along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made in shades of white, black, or beige for a discreet touch, or in color to become the centerpiece of your outfit, making your crochet scarf belt will allow you to have a custom piece tailored to your style<\/strong> – all while adopting an analog hobby!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
