When you think “big scarf,” you (rightfully) think Lenny Kravitz. Soon, though, you’ll be thinking Emma Watson. The actress and activist put together the perfect outfit for a stroll around Paris recently—so simple it was borderline genius—and I’m rushing to recreate it. As promised, it involved a big, woolly, fringed scarf in head-turning cherry red. Watson wrapped the scarf around her neck (and half of her face—like I said, it was a BIG scarf) and let it do the talking.
But while the scarf was the loudest and funnest part of the outfit, it’s actually the way Watson styled her off-white cable-knit crewneck sweater I’m looking at. I spend my winters in these, and I always feel like they make for a boring—if sensible—outfit. I love that the Harry Potter alum didn’t just throw a plain peacoat over her simple sweater and call it a day. She wore it with baggy dark jeans and un-fashiony Nikes, then pulled it together with the red scarf. It’s like when you don’t wear any makeup except for a red lip: simple, eye-catching and incredibly effective.
