How To Wear Different Scarves On Any Occasion
Just because it is winter out and you will be wearing a jacket or coat all the time does not mean that you should not look good. In fact winter is a great time to accessorize.
Scarves are the perfect accessory. Since a lot of people tend to wear several different coats during the winter you need an assortment of scarves. Your scarf not only needs to match the coat you are wearing but also needs to compliment it. We are going to give you a few ideas of how to wear different scarves for any occasion.
Casual Weekend
Even when you are trying to be casual you still want to look good. So you will need a scarf that will add a touch of style to that already stylish blazer or coat you are wearing. The Banana Republic merino wool scarf is a great neck warming scarf that will also look great as a casual accessory. The fabric and the multi-striped design are all about casual.
Double flip: place the scarf around your neck so that the two ends are at your back, cross the ends at the back of your neck and bring them around to the front.
The Work Scarves
When it comes to dressing for the office a lot of guys choose to wear a three-quarter-length coat over their suit. This is where a Gucci’s heather gray cashmere scarf will really be the perfect accessory. Of course it all depends on the type of coat that you are wearing on the color of the scarf.
Tie Around: simply tie your scarf around your neck as you would a regular tie, and fashion it into a trendy Windsor knot.
Going Out
When you are going out for the night you are not as worried about fighting the cold you just want to look good. A scarf is a great accessory to make you look stylish for your night on the town. It will also help you to keep warm while still looking good. For example you could wear Cashmere’s black and gray stripe cashmere scarf. It will add that perfect touch.
European formal: fold the scarf in half so that the ends are touching, place them through the loop, and tighten the loop under your chin.
The Sporty Look
When you are planning on being out in the cold for hours at a time and you still want to look good you still need to add a scarf to your outfit. The Gap’s chunky striped scarf is perfect for sporty wear. It is heavy enough to keep you warm but not so heavy that it will weigh you down. That is what is important when buying a scarf for the sporty look. You want it to look good but not get in your way of being able to move around. This scarf should also be tied in the sporty look.
The Formal Look
When you are going for the formal look try the Gucci wool-blend striped scarf and look elegant and well put together.
Classic Drape: simply drape the scarf around your neck and tuck it into your coat, covering the chest area left exposed by the coat's neckline.
Just remember that if you have several coats then you need several scarves to match each one. While one scarf may look good with one jacket it may not look good with another one.
