Scarf Fashion Tips

The scarf is one of the most versatile fashion accessories for women today. Available in solid colors, prints, and striped patterns, scarves are easy to match with most styles of women’s clothing. Deciding how to wear your scarf is a matter of personal taste. Here are a few ideas to get you started.

Form-Fitting or Body-Hugging Dresses, Knits, and Sheaths

The scarf is an excellent fashion accessory to wear with form-fitting or body-hugging dresses, knits, and sheaths. This style of clothing opens up lots of fashion opportunities including the standard wrap-it-around the neck several times and the place-it-on-the-neck and allow it to hang down the back. One particularly bold suggestion is to wrap your scarf around your waist for a bold splash of color. If you like, you can wrap it around the waist, cross it in the front and loop it around the neck for a bold effect. Of course, you can simply wrap the scarf several times around the neck in the traditional fashion.

Sophisticated Eveningwear

Scarves are made with a wide assortment of fabrics suitable for eveningwear including silk, alpaca, and 100% cotton material. For backless evening dresses, loop your scarf around the neck once and then allow it to fall down your back. Since some styles are wider than others, you may want to try a few different widths to see which one works best with your evening dress. Sequined scarves are quite popular for holiday events.

Casual Wear

Thinner scarves are perfect any time of the year and can be worn with t-shirts, dresses, and sweaters for an attractive look. The thicker styles are more suitable to wear during the cooler months of the year. If you want to create a unique look with your scarf, wrap it around your neck once or twice and then slip it up onto your head.

The manner in which you decide to wear your scarf is important since the scarf is going to draw attention to wherever it is worn. Try several different fashion styles throughout the year and see which ones generate the most compliments. Then, you can make your decisions about how to wear your scarf using some of the reactions that your sense of fashion has created.
