One thing I’ve been reiterating throughout a lot of my posts
this winter season is the fact that you can do a lot with an outfit just by
adding a statement scarf. So consider this your scarf dictionary from
lightweight to bulky, I have it all! I’ll give you a brief description of my favorite
types or the most popular scarves, as well as a little tip in how to wear
them! Enjoy!
Kerchief: A
basic cotton or silk rectangular shaped fabric.
This can come in anything from a solid to a wild cheetah print. If you knotting this around your neck can add
a playful appearance to any outfit. Side
Note: These can also be tied around
purse handles to add a fashion forward appearance!
Fringed: Probably a classic in bulky scarves, frayed
or fringed scarves can be chic but easygoing as well. Some people love to by these in loud patterns
and bold colors, if you are the adventurous type then DO IT! But if not, a great neutral color like gray
or beige will fit along fine with any outfit you can come up with.
Infinity: This scarf gets its name from the fact that
it is a circular scarf, there fore it is never ending. Some of these scarves are short to where you
would simply slide your head through, while others are long enough for you to
loop twice around your neck, adding a chunky, funky yet trendy appearance to
your already amazing outfit!
Wrap: What I consider to be an oversized kerchief,
use this in place of a light jacket, or just consider it to be an ultra chic
scarf. They come in a variety of
fabrications and colors. This is a great
piece for layering.
Pom
Pom: A whimsical pom pom can add fun to
any outfit while still being warm and functional, but please, do not where this
to a job interview. Keep this scarf as
an option for a play date with the kids, or a casual shopping date/lunch date
with the girls!
Stole: I’ve decided to include this glamorous scarf
because it is a classic but I do urge you if you have to have real fur, please
only buy vintage. This means that it has
been long time since an animal was harmed to make this piece. Faux fur is an amazing option, and a lot of
designers have really perfected the look to make it appear extremely real. Faux fur still adds a chic and lavish
appearance to any dressy outfit!
Ooh, that is pretty helpful. I have been thinking about scarves, but I haven't worked them out very well yet. It's my goal for the winter.:)

Laura can throw on a scarf and completely changes her outfit. Dresses up, dresses down, they are a great accessory.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in New York, I had a couple of nice scarves to wear out and enjoyed them in the wardrobe. Not down here, just a bright orange one to keep from getting shot during dear season.
