Scarves... How To Choose and Buy Scarfs!

Having a scarf collection would be a great start if you’re thinking of updating your wardrobe. Be it casual or elegant, there would surely be a scarf to go with your outfit. Square scarves can be worn on various parts of your body and even when it’s warm. The key is choosing the right scarf for the occasion and weather and knowing how to buy the perfect one.

The Basics of Scarf-Buying:
For starters, buy solid and neutral-colored scarves that would complement practically any of your everyday clothes. Some examples of neutral colors are white, black, cream, and different shades of brown. It’s great when you have scarves in these colors because on days when you’re on a rush, you don’t have to waste time worrying if they will match with your outfit.
One important thing to consider, though, before you put on any type of scarf is the material used to make it. To make sure you’re comfortable, wear a square scarf with a fabric that is appropriate to the weather or climate. For instance, a lightweight and see-through scarf is ideal to wear during the summer and a scarf made of pure wool is perfect for the winter. A good idea would be to buy two scarves of the same neutral color but in different types of fabrics, one for warm months and another for the cold season.

Be Scarf Adventurous:
While a scarf in solid colors makes it a no-brainer to mix and match, a carefully-chosen printed scarf, commonly known as a fashion scarf, would definitely brighten your look. Fashion scarves come in so many designs from pretty paisleys to patterns like checkered or zigzags, animal prints and funky designs like mushrooms, skulls and ladybugs. There is also the designer brand scarf produced by top fashion designers and worn by celebrities, which as you can expect have exquisite designs and of course a breathtaking price tag.
It all depends on your personal taste and preferences what exactly to choose. The point is, don’t be afraid to try on a new design now and then so you can get the most out of this versatile fashion piece. A good rule to follow when shopping for a multi-color or printed scarf is to choose one with colors that will bring out the color of your eyes and also complements your skin tone and hair color.

Where to Wear It:
One thing that will help you decide when choosing or shopping for the right scarf is where you intend to wear the scarf. A luxurious faux fur scarf may be too much for a simple lunch out with friends or a scarf with a bold leopard print would also not work in a strict corporate setting. Here are some ideas: If you’re attending a corporate event or a business meeting or you’re just aiming for a smart, classy look on any regular workday, a vintage silk scarf will surely liven up your business wardrobe. A crochet scarf is a perfect accessory if you’re spending a day on the beach while a long, knitted scarf is great for a casual weekend. For a formal evening affair, a sheer white scarf over a black pantsuit or dress is all you need to get that ultra-sophisticated look.

Shopping for scarves is fun. Just remember to get the basics first and then feel free to express yourself with a fashion scarf but just keep your wardrobe in mind when buying one so it will match your outfit every time. Lastly, choosing a scarf is just one thing, wearing it is another. You can learn about the latest, trendiest ways to wear a scarf online or browse through your favorite entertainment or fashion magazine. In no time, you’ll be wearing a scarf like an A-list celebrity.
