How to Wear Scarves
Among the hottest trends in fashion this year are scarves. Gorgeous in every hue, size and fabric, they infuse wardrobes with color, style and verve, making scarves the must-have accessory right now. And with soft, light summer fabrics, including open weaves and gauze, worries about how to wear scarves in the heat of summer fade away. Scarves just might be the most versatile accessory you can buy.
How to Color Match Scarves
This summer, try an outfit that includes color blocking with a scarf. While color blocking can be one solid color coupled with black, white or a neutral, it’s usually done with three colors. Adding a scarf, you have your third color and a good deal of personal style along with it. And the assortment of colors that we have this year is pure fun and whimsy.
Consider these vibrant two-solid-color options paired with white or neutral:
Yellow/turquoise / white or neutral
Coral/turquoise / white or neutral
Fuschia/yellow / white or neutral
Lime/turquoise/ white or neutral
Fuschia/coral / white or neutral
Beautiful! And if you use only black and white—which is very hot right now— or neutrals with black and white, add a fun, colorful visor or hat for a casual element and splash of color. Or use a colorful bag to make your outfit really pop.
For injecting a bit of personality or chic style, nothing beats a scarf. Casually draping or looping a long, flowing scarf around your neck, you add a bit of jaunty individuality to ordinary attire. Or layer a statement necklace with a scarf for a finishing touch on a suit during the day. Then, on a starry summer evening, a beautiful, fringed scarf becomes the perfect chill-chaser, used as a shawl. How very elegant!
No matter where you’re going or what the occasion, there’s a scarf to accessorize with your outfit this year. And learning how to wear scarves is a lot easier than you might think. Here are a few of our top scarf-tying tips for you to try:
Scarf-Tying Top Tips!
- Neck Loop- Using a slim oblong scarf, wrap it around your head, filling the neckline. A summertime favorite, this draped scarf, paired with necklaces of any length, is a great look taken to an even higher level!
- Twisted Neck Loop- Using the same Neck Loop style, twist the loose ends around the front, draping one or both sides. This is fabulous worn with a dress or blouse.
- Oblong Shawl Style- Drape an oblong scarf asymmetrically across your shoulders. Then, pulling small tabs of the fabric, tie and secure the “shawl”. With strapless dresses or sundresses, this is the perfect cover-up.
Now that you know how to wear scarves, make sure to add a few scarves to your summer wardrobe!
