subject: Tips to Choose Scarves in the 2010 Fall [print this page] They are the most versatile of all pieces of clothes. The scarves add color and style to any outfit and can change the look of an ensemble almost immediately! Stores bring out various types of scarves for every season and weather type.
A lot of new fall fashions have recently appeared in the shops, but, without the cooler temperatures, a lot of these designs are hard to wear.
You can add transitional pieces to your wardrobe during this time of year; it's a nice way to look quite appropriately for autumn, not too summery or too heavy.
For a long time the scarf has been considered just as an accompaniment to a heavy coat. Everything is changing and now we have it as a solo fashion item. Keeping that in mind, let's speak about different textures, colors, and ways in which you can wear the scarf.
Texture is very important. In summer, late spring and early hot fall it is essential to choose light textures such as silk or chiffon.
With the first signs of the fall you should switch to the scarf in a linen and cotton blend, as well as in silk to not look too summery, but at the same time to feel comfortable. These options are great for this time of year.
Color is also of great importance for this transitional time. You are still wearing a few of your lighter and brighter colored summer pieces, but are starting to incorporate the darker fall items into your wardrobe. This fall some of the "neutral" colors are the most popular. "Neutral" now includes colors that are bold and can be worn with either black or brown. These can be a royal blue, a cool silver, raspberry pink, violet or dark green. These colors must definitely be in your wardrobe this season.
The most complicated thing about scarves is the way to wear them. There are numerous ways to wear a scarf, making it a very versatile accessory.
The greatest option and the most conservative way of wearing a scarf is to wrap it around your neck but it is Okay if you are a little less willing to try the other looks. It is still very much in style to drape the scarf long or short around the neck.
Wear a large scarf around your shoulders as a shawl. If you really feel like "tying one on" try tying a silk scarf around your hips. Just by tying a scarf around your hips, like a scarf belt, you can make your waist look smaller. You can achieve this look very easily by folding a long oblong scarf into the desired width, draping it around your hips and positioning it as a sash.
Adjust it as you like. Let it hang down asymmetrically drawing the eye downward to produce a smaller looking waist. Another option is to wear the scarf around the waist as a belt.
This looks great in both fabrics. You can wear the scarf as a top or try wearing the scarf as a top over another top to add color to your attire.
You can wrap the scarf a couple times around your neck and tie the ends into a knot to the side. Or you can even use the scarf like a head wrap or head band to keep your hair out of your eyes.
Be creative with your scarf tying and have fun trying out the many different ways to wear your fashion scarves.
