There is no question that the ever faithful scarf is one of the fall season’s most tried and true accessories. We’ve been wrapping these fragments of fabric around our neck since we were kiddos playing dress up as fashionistas and cowgirls, alike. But, let me tell ya, that was only the start to a lifetime love affair!
When many people think of the word scarf, they think bundling up in cold weather and keeping their neck warm. But don’t worry Houston, there are so many other ways we can rock the scarf without the freezing temps!
This little piece of fabric is actually the most versatile piece in your closet, guaranteed! It is also the most attainable- available in nearly every color/print/pattern imaginable AND at every price range. Whether you own a collection of cheap-chic finds or a coveted designer or collectible piece, there is a way to work them into literally any outfit! Scroll through for some styling inspo and check out our favorite picks at the end that you can click on to purchase!
Wrapped or Tied on a Handbag
Probably the most fuss-free way to style your scarf! Wrapping it around the handle of your favorite handbag is a surefire way to elevate any bag in your closet! Its also an ideal way to carry your summer bags into fall. Tying a darker colored scarf around a lighter bag creates the perfect look to transition into this next season!
Draped and Belted
With statement belts looking to be hot this season, there has never been a more perfect time to take this style trick for a spin! You will need a pretty long scarf to make this work, but just one will do the trick – throwing it on with different layers underneath, will instantly transform it every time. Having at least one common color between the scarf and your outfit, will keep it looking intentional. Find a pattern mixing neutrals with bright colors to keep the ensemble playful, yet posh!
Tied Up in Your Hair
For those of you who hate the look of a boring ponytail, we’ve got you covered! Hide that black elastic hairband under a fancy scarf for an instantly fashion-forward look. When trying this look, we recommend going for a scarf made of silk. The silk fabric won’t tug on your hair which will reduce frizz, and come on…what girl doesn’t want that?!
A New Form of Anklet
We get compliments on our shoes and compliments on our pants, but hey…what about the inbetween?! Wrapping a fun patterned neckerchief around your ankle will add a unique touch to any outfit. This look is best with low rise shoes and higher hemmed pants, but don’t worry, that scarf will keep your ankles warm as we make our way into more wintery weather!
Tied at the Neck
For all the neck scarf purists out there, this one is for you! Not much guidance needed here- wrap, drape or tie your scarf around your neck to keep that cold air out and your outfit looking hot! This look is incredibly versatile allowing you to choose how loose, long or low you want the scarf to go. The best part is, any size scarf works for this one!
Wrist Candy
A fun new approach to the bracelet! Tying that trusty scarf around your wrist adds a pop to any outfit you have on. It offers an unexpected layer to your look that is sure to catch people’s eye. Even better, the soft texture of the scarf will contrast perfectly with the stronger metals of your usual go-to bracelets!
Pass on the Belt
Once you’ve found that perfect pair of jeans (we’re talking no belt required!), you have to try this styling trick! Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE our denim…but it isn’t the most exciting piece of our wardrobes. Slipping your favorite scarf through one of the belt loops can instantly upgrade these classic bottoms. Choose a top that compliments the scarf to create a uniform look head-to-toe and you’re ready to go!
Vintage or New? Silk or Cotton? Large or Small? So many choices but even more possibilities to shop below!
