The scarf is one of those fashion essentials to have absolutely in your dressing room. Whether you are a woman or a man, today there are several models and various ways to wear it. We give you some tips right here!
In your "extreme cold kit", between your hat, your gloves and your coat, there is the scarf. An essential winter accessory, the scarf should be chosen with care because it accompanies you every day and can be mixed with all your looks. Sometimes, it can even become a fashion piece in its own right depending on the model you choose. Color, material … Here are some tips that should help you make the right choice!
Which scarf to choose?
To choose the right scarf, several criteria are taken into account: material, color and shape. Today, the scarf is a fashion accessory in its own right. For example, it follows trends for a stylish look in tune with the times, it can also be used to brighten up an outfit with a touch of color or to make it more sophisticated when it is adorned with the logo of our favorite luxury brand. .
In terms of materials, the choice is vast! If you are chilly, you will love the softness of a faux fur scarf. Right on trend, it will easily match the pieces of your dressing room. Do you like to invest in quality fashion pieces? Then bet on a wool, angorra or cashmere scarf. Noble materials that will never go out of style and that will last over time.
Fancy a cocooning room? Think of chunky knit scarves! They keep warm and wear oversized to cover all your shoulders. Over a coat or a big sweater, we like its cozy side. Are you not a fan of big scarves? Choose thinner scarves, paying attention to the choice of fabric. Very comfortable, the cotton will be perfect! There are also silk scarves. They are generally much longer than scarves and therefore offer better coverage.

- The choice of color and / or pattern
To bring a little pep to an outfit that you find a little understated, why not choose a colorful scarf? On a total black look for example, a fuchsia scarf will make all the difference! Ultra trendy this season, fuchsia will also mix perfectly with a camel or khaki coat. Be careful, however, of the overdose of colors! For a successful look, the basic rule is never to wear more than three colors together.
You can also let yourself be seduced by a patterned scarf. This season for example, the houndstooth returns to the forefront of the fashion scene! A pattern that goes easily with a black or beige coat. More classic but still trendy, the plaid scarf is also a safe bet. It is a piece that will pass the years without taking a wrinkle and that you can bring out every winter!
- The different types of scarves
Again, there are many, many types of scarves on the market, but some are more successful than others. The plaid scarf, for example, is more and more worn, both for women and men. We love the oversized side of the plaid scarf, which can be thrown over your shoulders for a "chic negligee" effect. We also like to wear it around the neck and slip it on either side of our silhouette.
Long silk scarves, keffiyehs or cheches can also replace scarves. Like the scarf, there are also several ways to tie them: around the neck or on the shoulders. Finally, these are pieces that come in (very) many styles, with varied colors and more or less warm materials depending on the season.
How to tie your scarf?
If the scarf is one of the essential winter fashion, we must admit that we sometimes do not know how to put it on! Depending on what outfit you're wearing or the weather outside, there are many ways to tie your scarf.
- The easiest way to tie your scarf and to put it around your neck is to make a rough knot in the middle, like a scarf.
- If you want to add a touch of masculinity and elegance to your look, you can tie your scarf like a tie, with one side of the scarf longer than the other.
- Another way to tie your scarf is to fold it in half, then wrap it around your neck and pass the two sides through the fold, to rest them on your chest.
- You can also, very simply, wrap it around your neck, putting the two sides behind you, in front of you or one side in your back, and the other in front.
