It doesn't look like the geometric fad will be going away any time soon thanks to these [String Theory](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/string-ting) scarves. The name is derived from a mathematical belief, which offers "a manner of describing the known fundamental forces and matter in a mathematically complete system," according to Wikipedia. All fashionistas have to understand from that, however, is that this idea has led to some very stylish scarves.

A textiles design studio based in Canada, String Theory boasts plush scarves with bold patterns. All created in a simply grayscale palette, String Theory creations will complement just about any outfit while still adding a bit of flair. String Theory also sells throws and shawls made of cozy materials like Alpaca, bamboo and Merino wool, according to Fast Co Design.
