Unlike those days when scarves were only worn to combat the cold, today they are the ‘in’ fashion accessory. Scarves can be used in so many ways. A silk scarf worn around the neck can add color to any outfit. You should try to wear a short, handkerchief-style scarf tied around your neck in a simple knot to achieve the elegant look. Scarves used this way should be simple with solid colors so that they don’t distract from the entire outfit. Scarves are the new belts. Women choose to utilise long silk scarves around the waist to bring color to a dress or add an accent to pants. If you are wearing a solid coloured outfit then a brightly patterned silk scarf is an excellent way to break up the monotony and add an eye catching accessory to the entire outfit.A lightweight scarf can be used as a cover up with sleeveless tops or elegant evening wear. It is best to use a wide, long scarf for this. Another option is to wrap the scarf around your arms and tie it behind your back. Silk scarves are also worn on the head by fashionistas. The first and long-standing traditional method is wrapped around the head and tied underneath the chin. This is the best option for women who want to protect their hair while driving in the car with the windows down, on boats or while enjoying recreation on a windy day. "Even though scarves are all weather clothes now they can also be worn in the cold with cute gloves and a hat to keep your style up even in the cold weather” Michel Rugamba, an art and design student at University of Cincinnati says.But, as the trend goes on changing, the scarves for women are also changing with different patterns and colors coming up.So, buy a nice scarf today.
