When you're wearing a scarf don't worry too much about matching it. If you're wearing
a solid color you can wear a pattern scarf. If you're wearing a pattern coat or a pattern
shirt then maybe stick with a solid scarf. That's really all you need to think about.
One of the easiest ways in winter to sort of bundle up is a loop scarf, or sometimes
called an infinity scarf. You can get it in a nice chunky knit. I love these in a solid
color. Black. Brown. Maybe your favorite color like a red or blue. And they're super easy.
You just wrap them around once, twice or however many times. And you're super warm and super
cozy and you don't ever have to every worry about little bits flying out or tucking the
ends of the scarf in. And they really go with anything.
If you're super tall you can definitely pull off a loop scarf by wearing it completely
undone. This is a super minimalist look. You want to wear it with a really long coat. Maybe
open and very simple streamlines. Second loop is an easy way just to keep yourself warm.
Easy to put on and put off. What I love to do, especially if I'm wearing a crop jacket
like a leather jacket or a jean jacket, is loop it a third time. Give yourself a little
volume around the neck. That's especially great, again, if you're wearing a shorter
jacket or something a little lighter.
The other thing about scarfs is they're great for accessorizing. That means you can wear
them in the fall and in the spring. Maybe not New York in the summer. It gets a little
hot. What you want to do is choose a lighter scarf with maybe a cool pattern or a cool
print. In this case I have a leopard print scarf that's super thin. It's almost like
a Pashmina. Leopard at this point is sort of like a neutral. It's something that goes
with anything. You can wear it with colors. You can wear it with other prints. This is
something super simple. You can either wear it just as a long scarf as an accessory. You
can give it a couple wraps if you don't like things all the way hanging down. This way
you can maybe wear it with a blazer or a t-shirt. If you really like things, again, close around
your neck or you're trying to stay warm, give it a couple wraps. Maybe tuck the ends in
just so you don' t quite see them. And that's another way to stay warm when it's that middle
temperature. Not super cold. Not super hot but you're not sure exactly how you want to
feel.
Another way to wear it is to split in half and grab the ends, then put it through the
loop. Sometimes people call this a Parisian knot. I just think it's a really easy way
to wear a scarf.
Scarfs, again, are accessories. You can almost think of them as jewelry or something to really
brighten up an outfit. My favorite thing to do that is a silk scarf. You can find a ton
of vintage ones on eBay or Etsy. But anything that has a lot of colors and feels really
soft and just appeals to you.
Today we're going with a bright yellow print. This is something you can wear a million different
ways. It's not going to keep you super warm but it's great again for layering and for
adding that pop of color. An easy way to do this is to just fold it in half like a triangle.
Put the pointed end down your back and tie it in the front. This should never look like
you tried too hard. Don't worry about how it's sitting. Don't worry about the knot.
Just let it feel really loose and comfortable.
Another way is to start with a scarf as a triangle. Find a flat surface just to roll
it down a little bit so it's a little smaller. Then all you have to do is put it around your
neck. Loop it once and find a cute way to tie it. It doesn't have to look totally done.
I just looped it once and I'm putting a little knot in the front. Make sure it's not falling
in your face. And you've got a little scarf like this. This is something I have worn many
times. With a tank top or t-shirt and maybe a jean jacket.
