Fashionable Ways to Wear ScarvesIncorporate a Scarf into Your Ensemble for a Sexy Stylish Look
There are plenty of ways to wear a scarf, whether it's as hair wear, outerwear or the perfect accessory. Incorporate beautiful fabric to brighten your everyday look.
For as long as the scarf has existed, as early as ancient Roman times, it has had practical uses. Linen cloths were used by the Romans to wipe sweat from their faces. Cowboys in the American West tied a scarf around their face to protect their mouth and nose from dust and grit. Soldiers used scarves to identify rank and authority. But enough with the history; this is modern-day fashion here! Scarves come in all types of materials, designs, and styles. They make beautiful accessories and can add just the right amount of flair to an otherwise ordinary ensemble. Practical and Cute Hair WearTie a scarf around a pony tail for a kittenish retro look. A larger scarf over the hair can hide a bad hair day, protect newly styled hair from the wind, and keep the rain from flattening your mane. Choose a subtle color from your outfit and draw it out by matching the scarf in your hair to subtle undertones. Sheer fabrics like chiffon or silk look particularly nice in hair. More than an AccessoryA scarf can be tied around the hip to add a flash of color to a solid color skirt or slacks. A large enough scarf can be used as a tube top, or tied around the waist as a sexy sarong. Replace a necklace with a scarf tied choker-style around the neck in a bright or ambitious color. Metallic colors and bold materials can accentuate your eyes and draw attention upward to your bright smile. Likewise, a scarf can replace a belt break up a solid color outfit or add a bit of glamour. Incorporate a Fancy Pin or Antique BroochWhen using a scarf as a shawl, or shoulder cover for when wearing a sleeveless or revealing top on a chilly night, fasten it with a pin or brooch. Everyone has a few decorative pins, and likely knows how hard it can be to incorporate them with a contemporary spin into an outfit. For a retro movie-star look, use an ornate brooch to clasp a fancy scarf over one should and around the neck. Tie a scarf around your ankle when wearing a short skirt. When tied in a cute bow this gives a dramatic anklet effect. A flash of color tied around the wrist can also brighten up your look. For the less adventurous tie a pretty scarf to the straps of your purse to help coordinate all your accessories for a more complete look. Beaded, sequined, sheer, lace and tulle; the perfect accent fabric and color is just waiting to spice up your wardrobe. Don’t forget to look on eBay where wholesale “lots” of scarves can sometimes be found at a steal of a deal, and give you just the amount of variety you need.
