Marc Jacobs Makes Granny Chic Look Crazy Good

Is that a really chic kerchief-wearing granny shuffling along the streets of New York? Maybe an ancient UES yenta who got lost downtown? No, it’s Marc Jacobs. This morning, the designer Instagrammed an image of himself (and a really long caption about just how busy he was!) wearing none other than the trend of the season, a babushka scarf. The silk accessory was daintily knotted under his chin and worn with a black coat. Though, this look wasn’t entirely old country: Jacobs sported a pair of cat-eye sunglasses with classic Grace Kelly appeal.

The babushka—technically the Russian word for grandmother—has become a popular fashion statement over the past year. In the last few months alone, the scarf has been worn by A$AP Rocky, Frank Ocean, Kendall Jenner, and Chloë Sevigny. Now it’s only a matter of time before the beloved piece shows up on his runway.
