Scarves are interesting accessories that can change the look of your attire and make it look more fun, glamorous or formal. This would depend on your choice of scarf and the style in which it is worn. You can wear a scarf with almost any dress, jeans, pants, dresses and more. Your choice of scarf would depend on a range of factors, the weather, the style of your clothing, color and the occasion you are wearing it to.

Here are some wonderful ways to wear a scarf

• You can tie a light scarf around your neck, kind of like a chocker. You can use a decorative brooch or a scarf pin to keep it in place. You can wear this with formal business attire.
• Hold a square scarf folded into a triangle scarf against the front of your neck and take the right end and wrap it around the back of your neck to fall on your left shoulder. Likewise the left end will land on your right shoulder. You can tuck in the edges into your shirt.
• Use a long rectangular scarf and wrap the middle around your neck and leave the edges on your shoulders. Let the edges run free in the front or you could also tie the sides onto one side.
• Use a long rectangular scarf, and fold it in half. Let the folded side fall on to one side of your neck and the edges on the other. Now slip the edges into the fold and you can tighten or loosen to drape it around your neck.
• You can fold a square scarf in half; into a triangle and use it to hold back your hair and cover it. This is great if you are driving your car with the top down.
• Place the centre of a long rectangular scarf at the base of your neck. Let one end dangle in front while the other end drapes a shoulder, usually the right one. You could use a scarf pin to keep it in place.
• Fold scarf horizontally and place at the middle of the back of your neck. Now bring the edges to the front and tie a knot. You can place the knot in the centre or to a side, as desired.

Choose your scarves with care. A scarf with a print should ideally be worn with solid colors. For instance a scarf with flowers or geometrical designs in shades of blue can be worn with a white shirt and a pair of blue jeans. If your dress has a design or print then it is best to go with a single color scarf that matches it. Avoid making a scarf a part of monochromatic attire. Use it to add color to your dress. The fun part about using scarves is that you can reflect the changing seasons even if you don’t change your wardrobe according to it.

Do choose to wear minimal accessories with a scarf as they take the attention away from your scarf. If you are interested in cosmetology and styling consider joining ‘The Esani Institute’. The institute is a Paul Mitchell partner school.
