Completing the Look: Adding the Summer Scarf

Now that we have settled the debate on whether or not one can wear a scarf during summer, we’re going to give you tips on how to complete your look by adding a summer scarf to your outfit.

Basically, the rule here is to choose the fabric of your scarf very carefully. You may want to avoid wool or any type of scarf that will let you melt under the sun. Remember, the lighter the fabric, the better. Cotton is the best choice, since it is soft and is light. Silk is another option, as well as rayon.

Another factor in choosing the perfect summer scarf would be the texture. Chiffon, satin, or a jersey knit are suitable choices, for their textures are crisp, flowing, and breathable.

Make the most out of summer by choosing playful colors that go well with the sunny mood. Pastels and jewel tones will compliment this. A stylish pattern is also important—florals, plaids, stripes, and paisleys will do the trick.

Design, of course, matters. A scarf can be plain if you choose it to be, but some summer scarves are more detailed. For example, summer scarves such as a Keffiyeh has fringes on it its ends, making the scarf look playful and fun. For a feminine look, some summer scarves have embellishments in them, such as beads, and metallic threads, while some scarves are embroidered. Be creative and try each one out to know what suits you perfectly.

Scarves, as an accessory, can be worn in a lot of ways. A common way is to wear it around the neck. During those days when the heat becomes unbearable, what you can do is to tie a thin, long scarf around your waist in place of a belt. Tie it to a knot on the side of your dress, and you’d be as dainty as ever.

You can also wear your scarf as a headband, or use it to tie your hair into a ponytail. If you have a silk scarf and would like to add a little sophistication to that boring handbag, you can tie your scarf around the handle of your handbag. Instant pizzazz, effortlessly.

For the ultimate summer look that is perfect for the beach, wrap your scarf around your straw hat. Large scarves can also be sarongs, or swimsuit cover-ups.

The scarf’s uses are almost endless, so feel free to experiment with it. Not only does it work as an accessory, it gives your plain, ordinary wardrobe a spin. Truly, a scarf is an essential in every woman’s wardrobe.
