Ladies, the scarf is yet another way of spicing up your outfits with a bonus of conveniently shielding you from the cold. The scarf has two kinds, one for warmth and the other as a fashion accessory. When your outfit is plain and you are not up for a necklace, a scarf will do the magic. Be it long, short, floral, striped or just plain, when worn correctly, it is chic and stylish since it can match with just about anything.
On a cold day, opt for a scarf made from thicker material like wool. However, if the weather is hot, wear one that is lighter.
How to wear a scarf
A long scarf appears smarter on clothes like shirts and blouses that have color. If the blouse is printed or floral, the scarf should be plain coloured and vice-versa. The scarf’s colour should contrast a little with your outfit.
For an open top or dress, a short scarf can work as a necklace. It can be tied lightly around the neck in a knot or a bow. However, even a long scarf falling on the dress looks smart.
To make a bold style statement, the scarf should match with your hand bag, bangle or shoes.
Other uses of a scarf
When going out at night, substitute your jacket or sweater with a scarf draped around your shoulders, or held with a brooch. For a more casual look, a scarf can also be tied over a skirt or jeans.
You can also hold your hair up with a scarf, which you can tie around a ponytail or use as a bandana. Scarves can be used as belts too, just be sure to buy one that is longer than your waist to make it easy to wrap around and finish with a nice knot.
Add flare to your handbag by tying a scarf to its straps. The scarf’s colour should match that of your bag.
