Tips and Hints on Choosing and Styling a Scarf Are you wondering how to choose the right scarf? Or, maybe, you lack confidence when it comes to adding scarves to your outfits, worrying that they simply won’t match? Just like how not any shoe works with all outfits, not every scarf works with all looks. More likely than not, if you're wearing track trousers or joggers and going for an athleisure look in general, you’ll avoid a fancy silk scarf. Right? But what if we say it’s time to start wearing those beautiful, light, patterned scarves boldly with whatever you want? To ensure that you won’t be second-guessing yourself with what scarf to choose and how to wear it this season, we’ve compiled this brief guide with some fashion tips and recommendations. To begin with the most important consideration, try to choose a scarf that flatters your face. This means its colour and pattern should complement your skin tone, eyes, and hair colour. Once you’re done, you’ll be free to wear outfits that don’t normally suit you. For instance, if you’ve been long dying to try that iconic little black dress but steered away from wearing it because you believed that black makes you look washed out, you’ll be able to go ahead and pair a chic LBD with a bold pink scarf without worrying that you may look too pale. It’s the colour next to your face and neck that makes the ensemble work, so you’ll always end up looking fabulous. Plus, this season, you are free to mix non-complementary colours with impunity. Those old rules against mixing and matching no longer apply. Also, don’t shy away from bright multicoloured or patterned scarves that can perk up any monochromatic or otherwise plain outfit. In addition, don’t fear experimenting with wearing bold scarves with other patterned pieces when they can complement each other without clashing. Just like men wear a patterned tie with a checked shirt, you can pair a plaid scarf with a plaid skirt in a similar fashion. When it comes to scarf fabrics and textures, you need to consider the occasions you’re planning to wear your new scarf to. For example, wool or cashmere scarves can keep you ultra warm during frigid northern winters. With that, they go amazingly well with oversized knits and chunky boots. Silk or satin scarves, in their turn, can add a touch of elegance to any outfit, in both summer and winter. Owing to their soft sheen, alluring drape, and luxurious texture, they can instantly fancy up just about any look. Moreover, silk scarves are getting an update this season, and now you can see fashionistas using them as bag accessories, belts, wrist bands, chockers, hair accessories, bandanas, and even bandeau tops. The options are nearly limitless!
