Paul Smith scarf

A scarf–lightweight and thin–is the perfect accessory to warm a fresh Lunar look. Take Paul Smith’s rendition in red, for example. With a dog pattern embroidered in yellow gold, it’s a subtle and stylish way to show your affections for man’s best friend. Wear it open and loose if it starts to warm up.
