The preppy travel look for women and the versatility of the silk scarf.

The look we're going to examine today is another classic. It's the look often seen with traveling preppy women. It's also the perfect look for attending a fall picnic by the coutryside or a steeple chase tailgate party.

The look involves the following basic pieces:

• Silk scarf
• Polo cable sweater
• A pair of chinos
• Pearls
• Driving moccasins.

What really gives the look its preppy panache is the silk scarf. Here, it can be seen tied as a headband giving the look an air of class and sophistication. If there's one preppy accessory that's often overlooked, it's the scarf. A scarf can offer endless possibilities for enhancing your wardrobe and is always in style regardless of the season or fashion.

The Davenport is a very versatile look.

For really cold days, the perfect match to this look is a leather or suede car coat. Complete the look by accessorizing with driving gloves and a Land Rover Defender(with luggage rack) and they'll think you’re a Virginia heiress! You can dress down by wearing jeans, a wool crewneck with a spread collar shirt(untucked) for a laidback, cosmopolitan preppy style - but the scarf is essential. It's how you wear the scarf that sets the theme of the look. Wear the scarf as an ascot for a reserved and distinguished style. Wear it as a bandanna with a pair of tortoise shell sunglasses and you're ready to escape the paparazzi!
