5 Ways to Choose the Right Scarf that Suits Your Style
If there’s any modish accessory that speaks (not literally), a scarf will be it. Though you will most probably adorn one only during the winter season, scarves have transcended beyond seasonal purpose and are now a fashion-related trend that can be donned almost anywhere, at any given time. So, here are 5 useful tips to make sure you don’t second guess yourself the next time you’re thinking of getting the scarf of your dream:
1. Choose Your Fabric
One tip from us is to always pick the best material that’ll match the current season and the condition of your skin (this is especially important if you have sensitive skin).
2. Decide on the Size
Do take note of the scarf measurement so as to fit your height and preferred styling. I mean, you don’t want to end up stepping on one end of your scarf and risk yourself falling in the street.
Fyi, there’s also a rule of thumb that says “a scarf should be as long as the person wearing it is tall” and we believe that can be a good tip for you to consider when choosing the right size for your scarf.
3. Pick Your Color
Well, it’d be good if you can just pick any color that you love, but it’d be better if you choose the colors and patterns that’ll complement your skin tone and overall wardrobe.
4. Pay Attention to Details
A scarf may look perfect from afar, but if you are to take a closer look, what you’re about to see might surprise you. Pay attention to the fabric as to whether it is well woven or knitted and ensure that the borders of the scarf are not too loose nor too tight. If you’re into scarves with embellishments (e.g. sequins, embroideries, etc.), be sure to look at the threads and stitching as you don’t want to catch them snagged or coming apart when it’s already too late.
5. Be Brave
After all is said and done, what’s left for you to do is to actually wear the scarf of your choice and be brave to style it with your favorite outfit! Bear in mind that there’s no single rule you should abide by when it comes to mixing and matching your style. Even our guidelines here only serve to aid you in making a better decision at picking the scarf of your choice, but the final say is up to you. So, go ahead and make a statement with your style! ;)
