Inspired by [starry nebula formations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cosmic-teal), [Etsy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/etsy-and-kacey-musgraves) designer Shadowplaynyc translates stunning images onto chic fashion-forward accessories. Made with 100% organic cotton jersey, the scarves are cozily warm and offer a statement-setting look.

The images are photographed using a high-powered telescope, capable of seeing galaxies and constellations light years away. The result is a series of colorful and vibrant pictures that are out-of-this-world beautiful. Whether you pair these galactic stoles with a plain white tee or a rocker-chic jacket, the piece is sure to grab people's attention. As an added bonus, [circle-style scarves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-play-silk) also have endless possibilities when it comes to finding new ways to wear this accessory.

Shadowplaynyc also creates skirts and dresses using similar nebula-clad prints and starry motifs. These bold and deep space-inspired patterns have been spotted and worn by countless style mavens.
