How to Style a Scarf This How to Style a Scarf This Winter

Even though you might be sporting a fleece or cashmere scarf to stay warm and toasty this winter, a scarf can also be used to dress up a plain ensemble and create a polished look while you're indoors...

If you're looking for a fresh new look or fun way to accessorize your outfit this winter, here are a few ways to show off your sense of style with a scarf:

 
 
The Headband Replacement
Wrap a thin silk scarf around your head and pull back the rest of your hair with a hair clip or ponytail holder. You can fold the silk scarf into a headband or bandana and used to keep your tresses in place. Longer scarves can hang down behind your head for a fun and flirty look this season.  


                                                                                                                                                                         
                                                     

 
The "Tie"
Super long cotton scarves and thicker wool scarves are great for creating the "tie", the scarf with a large knot that sits right on your chest and hangs down to your waist. This is a great look when wearing a v-neck sweater or a simple top.
                                                                    

                                                                                                                                                                                                           

The Headwrap
Tired of dealing with "hat head" this winter? Wrap your head in a silk or lightweight cotton scarf for a casual look.Abstract prints are a great match for scarves that are going to be used as a head wrap.










The Sash
Longer scarves with fringe or thinner, silk and satin scarves can do double duty as a light belt or sash. If you're wearing a tight-fitting jersey dress or tunic top this winter, wrap one of these scarves tightly around your waist or lower on the hips to balance out your look.








The Knit Tube Scarf
Sport a long, knit tube scarf in a complementary color around your neck to add a fun and playful twist to your look. A long scarf that sits low on your neck can be tied in front or left to hang over your shoulders when you're wearing a basic tee or polo neck top this winter.
