Their baguettes put all other breads to shame, their museums are works of art in themselves, and their inimitable style is a national treasure. So whenever we find ourselves in a wardrobe conundrum, we simply ask, "What would the French do?"
Leandra Medine, aka
The Man Repeller, is well known for her ahead-of-the-curve style, and over the past few seasons, we've spotted her in small silk scarves more than once. When worn with basics, such as a blazer and jeans, a scarf adds a much needed dose of color and a touch of effortless sophistication.

Giovanna Battaglia has also been spotted with an insouciant scarf tied 'round her neck. We love the way Battaglia's scarves frame her gorgeous face.

But if French dressing isn't your bag, fret not. The scarf knows no geographical or sartorial boundaries.

Justin Chambers's wife, proves a bandanna print can work in an L.A. art gallery just as easily as on the range.

Jenna Lyons took the little scarf look out of this world completely, layering two shirts, knit tights, an ostrich-feather skirt and sandals
with a printed scarf. We rule the look très, très chic.

ASOS's lightweight printed scarf ($15.03) that reminds us of
Givenchy's resort collection from last year, a simple floral-and-striped version ($28) from
Nordstrom, and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art's Mary Cassatt lilacs scarf ($75).
