Winter’s long gone and even spring has passed. It’s truly summer now, and with the season comes summer fashion trends. And if there is one trend that you simply cannot miss out on this season, it is scarves. While most of us have a number of scarves in our closet, it is the right time to style them in ways that will up the style quotient of your summer fits. Here are five ways you can style your scarves this season…
Scarf Top
It’s no surprise that wearing scarves as tops has taken the internet by storm. From folding them in half and tying a knot at the back to looping it through your bra to create a bandeau silhouette, the scarf is versatile enough to be draped in any way you want! For inspiration, take a look at these creative ways fashion influencer Komal Pandey styles two scarves as a number of different tops.
Belt it
If you’re looking for a way to add more colour and funk into your outfit, try using a scarf as a belt. Looping the scarf through your denims and tying a cute knot in the front helps ‘tie’ the whole outfit together (pun intended!). Use a scarf to add contrast to your outfit, adding the colour pop you need this summer.
Bandanas for the win
If Katrina Kaif is wearing a scarf as a bandana, you know it’s a summer trend you have to try too. Use silk scarves to add that extra glam to your outfits, or to even hide a bad hair day (we promise no one will know!). Wear it like a bandana or make a ponytail and tie it around your hair to add some extra volume and playfulness to your hair.
Try the sleek cravat
Who said formal wear has to be boring? The cravat has for long been monopolised by men, but ladies, it’s time for you to try it out too. This sleek way of adding some print and colour to your outfit is easy and no-fuss. However, if formals aren’t an aesthetic you’re into, try wearing a scarf with any shirt you wear, like Lily Collins, to zhuzh up your look. Pick a scarf that contrasts your outfit to make it shine.
Beach cover-ups galore
Summer means beach time, and scarves can be used as a great cover-up on the beach. Not only do they add the extra oomph to your look, but also ensure you can lounge at the beach all day and then grab a meal at a beach shack without having to worry about a change of clothes. Wear scarves in the same print as your swimwear or in the same colours to make your outfit flow like the waves.
Scarves are a closet staple that can go unnoticed or ignored. But if you invest in a good scarf, it can be the star of the show. Here are a few things to keep in mind while buying scarves:
- Go for eye-catching prints: There’s not a lot that can compete with a glorious printed scarf. The prints will help accentuate the colours in your outfit and can also be used to draw attention to your whole look.
- Keep a good mix of sizes: Scarves can only be worn in a number of ways, only if it is big enough or wide enough. Have a good variety of scarves, both long and wide, as well as short, to use them in a number of ways.
- Go for silk: Silk scarves look more luxe and have the quality of being quite striking. The fabric will help shape your body and also add the oomph you’re looking for.
