How to wear a scarf: our tips

One of the best things about scarves is that they can be worn in so many different ways.

In this post, we will share our top tips on how to wear a scarf.

Whether you are looking for an elegant way to keep warm or simply want to add a bit of personality to your outfit, we have got you covered. So grab your favourite scarf, and let’s get started!

The scarf

One of the fundamental accessories in your personal winter survival kit, which can sometimes be an unappreciated gift or a hasty purchase in the hope of improving your style.

Learning to wear a scarf well can be a valuable asset when temperatures start to drop. There is no single correct way to wear a scarf, and choosing the right style for you can depend on personal preferences, the occasion, or simply what looks best with the rest of your outfit.

Choosing the most suitable scarf to enhance your wardrobe is not always an easy task. The wrong shade, fabric, or size can easily make a look unappealing.

Let’s start with the first tips.

Choosing the right length

Scarves are typically designed in a rectangular shape and measured along the length of the two ends.

Knowing the distinctions between measurement lengths will save you from embarrassing situations, like showing up in a shop with a tailor’s tape measure. Although, that would be quite amusing!

We have three different lengths:

• A SHORT SCARF OF 140 CM that elevates the look with refinement and style, perfect for formal occasions or the office.

• A MEDIUM SCARF OF 175 CM for a versatile choice, perfect for wrapping around the neck.

• And finally, a LONG SCARF OF 208 CM to create a casual style, and can be wrapped around the neck multiple times for an additional layer of warmth and protection from the cold.

We recommend almost always opting for the medium range options for their robustness in both design and comfort.

Choosing the material

Choosing the ideal material for a scarf is essential; the fabric determines the shape, weight, and reaction to various weather conditions. It is important to pay attention to all these aspects when choosing a scarf that perfectly fits your wardrobe.

Don’t know what material your scarf is made of? Just take a look at the label to find out!

Among the most commonly used materials for scarves, we have:

Wool

Thanks to its remarkable breathability and warmth, wool is an ideal fabric for protecting against cold and moisture. Its durability makes it one of the most widely used materials worldwide.

Silk

If you want to make a sophisticated fashion statement at your next formal event, look no further than elegant silk scarves. They not only offer exquisite style but also keep you warm in the most fashionable way!

Acrylic

Acrylic is a synthetic product that, although not as soft and breathable as natural fibres, still offers advantages for those with sensitive skin and allergies to wool.

Polyester

Polyester may remind you of Hawaiian parties, but in reality, this fabric is highly efficient. It boasts multiple advantages, such as water resistance, wrinkle and colour resistance, and increased resilience.

Cotton

Cotton, a natural fibre, is renowned for its breathability, so you never feel tightness or restriction around your neck. This timeless material also stands up to wear and maintenance.

Fleece

Have you ever experienced wearing a fleece scarf? At first, you feel warm and cosy, but soon sweat starts soaking into your shirt. Most fleeces today are made from synthetic materials, meaning they provide warmth and water resistance but are not breathable.

Ultimately, you want a scarf that is both comfortable and warm, but also fashionable.

Choose a colour that matches your outfit

Choosing a colour that matches your outfit doesn’t have to be stressful.

If you think about one or two main colours in the outfit, it’s easy to complement these shades with a scarf or other accessories.

For example, if you wear a dark blue suit and tan boots, match the look with a scarf in a complementary colour like bright blue to add an extra touch of personality.

It will immediately elevate the ensemble and make you feel your best!
