Scarves and How to Wear Them!

Oct 13, 2010

One of the easiest ways to perk up your outfits is by adding a great scarf! Not only do they add a sense of added style to what you’re wearing, it’s an inexpensive way to make sure your outfit is never boring. Even a black pair of leggings and a black t-shirt look incredibly chic when you add an attention grabbing scarf with a bold, graphic print or an attention grabbing color. Scarves are also a great way to incorporate seasonal trends into your wardrobe without spending a lot of money. Just adding an animal print, metallic, plaid, floral or tribal print scarf instantly updates your closet without breaking the bank. The bolder the print or pattern on your scarf, the simpler your outfit should be as not to compete. You can’t go wrong with a pair of skinny jeans, a plain colored t-shirt and a simple bag. Keep your coat or jacket simple as well - a trench coat or a solid colored coat will make your scarf pop! There is more than just one way to wear a scarf - with a bit of creativity you can wear your scarf in a different way almost every day of the week! You can also raid your mom or grandma’s closet for some scarves with a vintage feel and look! Check out the gallery of our favorite scarves and get shopping!

Simply drape your scarf around your neck and loop the scarf around very loosely so it looks as casual as possible - make it look uneven and messy. The scarf should be full enough to make it the focal point of your outfit. Keep the rest of your outfit fitted and streamlined to balance out the volume of your scarf.
  • 3. Triangle Chic - You’ll need a large square scarf for this bib style way to wear your scarf. Fold the square in half so you make a big triangle.
