Reinventing the scarf

Envisioning this season's most coveted trends, it's difficult for me not to immediately list the scarf as one of my favorites. I love the effortless class that a colorful, breezy pashmina can add to layers of separates or even a simple cotton dress. In terms of baseline functions, accessories should have the ability to transform and complete an outfit. The scarf does just that.

A recent ideeli e-mail brought to my attention a scarf fulfilling all of these features and more. Friends turned business partners Gillian Leigh and Susann Luca have taken advantage of the surge in popularity of this accessory and have redefined its basic properties, resulting in the Leigh & Luca scarf that multi-tasks as a blanket, headwrap, sarong and beach mat. If versatility was a product, this would be it without a doubt.
