During the 1960s, mourning dress experienced a notable revival, largely influenced by Jackie Kennedy’s iconic public mourning following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Her poised and graceful adoption of traditional black mourning attire brought renewed cultural attention to mourning customs, inspiring many to embrace elegant, somber accessories like black silk scarves as symbols of respect and remembrance.
