Spring’s 22 Best Printed Scarves Under $100

Often a wardrobe afterthought, the lightweight scarf — that forgiving, one-size-fits-all accessory—- has a fashionable past. The pink scarf Grace Kelly wore in To Catch a Thief helped her become even more of a fashion icon (and later inspired Raf Simons’s Cruise collection for Dior in 2013). Faye Dunaway’s paisley scarf, tied bandit-style ‘round her neck in Bonnie and Clyde, became a symbol of timeless cool.

But film references aside, a scarf can serve a valuable function this season: It’s the perfect thing to throw on for a cool spring morning, a creative jolt of color for an otherwise simple look. The Cut rounded up 22 great printed scarves under $100 — and suggestions on how to wear them (whether you prefer a chokerlike style or a traditional slip-knot). Click through the slideshow ahead and drape away.

If you missed out on Miu Miu's polka-dot neckerchiefs last fall, here's your chance to get the look.
Far more affordable than the fringed offerings on the runway. Wrap this one so the fringe flies outward.
Wear this with a tank top, loose silky shorts, and Birkenstocks.
White sneakers would complement this fringed, printed option.  
This geometric-printed scarf can be tied bandit style (hanging under your face like a downward triangle) to create graphic lines, or draped around the... This geometric-printed scarf can be tied bandit style (hanging under your face like a downward triangle) to create graphic lines, or draped around the neck for a more colorful flou.
Tassles give it that "I got this on vacation" vibe.
Muted tones in a scarf look good with other subtle shades.
Denim enthusiasts, relish in the selvedge stripe and pair this with your favorite cutoffs.
A preppy-meets-bohemian choice.
A fun, colorful print looks good with a tan and can be worn around the hips like a sarong.
We may have never met a stripe we didn't love.
This semi-nautical style goes well with white jeans.
Tie this in a slip-knot and wear with a denim jacket.
Polka dots are fun, especially when under $7.
For those who fear color but want to embrace print, go for black-and-white graphics.
Knot a silk deco tie around your neck in a slim choker style.  Style with a white button-down and channel Katharine Hepburn.
If you have to go to a music festival this season, here's your scarf.
Here's a scarf to drape around your shoulders when the wind picks up.
Opt for subtlety with a pastel scarf with embroidery in a similar color.
By far the most effortless of scarves, an infinity style can be thrown on with minutes to spare. 
Wear this menswear-inspired stripe with a shrunken blazer for a prep-school look.
A mix of prints, like this Yarnz scarf, should be worn with solids.
