The Fun & Stylish Scarf

Need an accessory to complement that outfit that looks a tad plain or drab, one that will not make you rob the bank? Then the scarf it is.

A scarf is a piece of cloth worn around the neck or on the head for warmth, decoration, or concealment. It can spice up all forms of attire, from a simple air of jeans and a T-shirt, to a conventional dress, or even a business suit. Scarves are fun accessories to wear. They can be worn in a multitude of ways—they are versatile and they can be used for various purposes. A scarf can be used to brighten an otherwise dull outfit. Scarves come in a number of colours and making a choice should be easy and fun. Most scarves are light and can be easily laundered, readying for the next wear. Think your outfit looks a bit drab today? Go ahead and grab that scarf to complement it. You will not go wrong!

Adorning the neck
A scarf worn around the neck is a common way of wearing the scarf, the most popular accessory that has been worn over the years. One can tie a knot to the front or the side of the neck. Some people opt to tie a knot at the back. Experimenting with your scarf placement keeps the idea of wearing a scarf fresh. You can tie it as a bow tie or loop it. Moving the knot to the side or even the back tends to add a sense of sophistication to any outfit and creates a smooth neckline, free of knots. You can also opt to leave the ends hanging, a simple yet sophisticated way of wearing your scarf.

Head top
A scarf can also be used as a head gear. This is a feature that is especially taking root today. Women can be seen adorning colourful scarves to either match their outfit or to cleverly cover up a bad hair day. A scarf can also be used as a ribbon to style hair. This is appropriate for long hair. A slender scarf is best suited for this.

Just shoulder away

Scarves are especially ideal for the cold season. They can be used to protect the neck and shoulders. You can wrap a long scarf several times around your neck. This will keep you warm, at the same time make you look stylish. You can also drape the scarf on your shoulders and tie a knot on the chest.

Waist it!
A scarf can be used as a belt to add taste to an outfit. The deal is to buy one that is longer that the size of your waist. This allows you to wrap it all around and then finish off with a tie. There are long and slender scarves, and there are fat and chunky ones. You can alternate between the two kinds or you can stick to your choice.

Tie it up
You can also tie a scarf to a bag. This makes you look chic, adding colour to your entire look. A scarf that matches your outfit, bag or shoes is a miracle performer. For scarf ties, it is best to work with other fabrics and not silk or cashmere, for they easily get. ruined.

NOTE: It always pays to take the time to match the colour of the scarves you buy to that of your already existing wardrobe.
