It wasn’t until this fall when I understood the power of scarves. And I’m not talking about their amazing ability to cover up hickeys. I own a lot of scarves, but I’ve never been confident in my ability to wear them. It may sound silly, but I just haven’t understood how to properly tie them or what kind of outfit goes with a scarf.
Until now.
I bought this incredible red scarf with leopards roaming on it from a store in Boston this summer and now I can’t get enough of it. The old me would have only worn it with black – too scared to pair it with colors that don’t go – but now I realize the power in pairing it with a variety of outfits, colors, and styles to add an extra something to an otherwise plain outfit. I’ve been wearing it with blue maxi-dresses, yellow shirts, fall sweaters and summer ensembles. Wearing a uniquely patterned scarf totally changes an outfit. The stranger the combination, the better. It makes you look London-chic in the effortless but sophisticated way.
A leather jacket, flirty beige lace dress, combat boots, and a crazy patterned scarf? Chic. A business formal outfit with a colorful scarf? Spot on. Jeans, a plain shirt, boots and a fun scarf? The perfect outfit for class. There are so many options and ways to wear scarves that I highly recommend everyone spicing up their wardrobe with them!
