Lately, I can’t stroll a block in Manhattan with out recognizing somebody who seems like they only floated out of an uptown artwork gallery opening—shiny hair, minimal make-up, and that impossibly elegant high that drapes simply so. You know the one; it’s not fairly a turtleneck, not fairly a shirt, however one thing in between. Perhaps it is best described as a shawl or cape-style neckline that cascades effortlessly and whispers “old money” with each fold.
Meghan Markle wore a model of the elegant scarf neckline for Balenciaga’s spring/summer season 2026 present throughout Paris Fashion Week, and since then, the style set has been absolutely transformed. Whether it’s a silk scarf high knotted on the shoulder or a cape-detail leather-based shirt, the headband neckline silhouette makes all the things you pair it with look exponentially costlier. And actually? I’m right here for it.
Below, store one of the best scarf-neckline tops, jackets, and sweaters.
