Acclaimed by fashion gurus the world over as the new fashion necklace this season, scarves remain to be top hot and popular style additions. Everybody, men and children included, enjoys wearing scarves as soon as the temperature drops. However one of the most common obstacles women face is what to do with their scarves, apart from the ever mundane double loop around the neck. In attempts to keep with high fashion and inventive styling, a lot of women prefer wearing scarves as accents to their outfits or as pieces that complement and complete their look. Here are a few contemporary approaches to wearing scarves this winter.

Belted

Showcased by top designers on runways this season was the belted scarf look. Light and flowing scarves simply hung around the neck, under shirt or blouse collar, and held under the bust or high up at the waist with a skinny or thin belt. For this look, it’s important that the scarf used is lightweight and long enough to avoid adding bulk to your figure.

Try this look in a neutral or ivory front pleat round neck cap sleeve dress, with a dark toned print scarf, paired with matching pumps and a tote bag.

Ascot of Cravat Knot

Bring back that old mature style of the classic ascot tied scarf, this up market and high class look is well-suited for days at the office. Suitably sized square silk scarfs are ideal to tie around the neck as cravats or ascots. Cover up your neck and fill in an exposed neckline with polished and debonair fashion with an ascot.

Pair an ascot knotted scarf perfectly with a classic white button down shirt, delicate or bold printed scarf, and fitted trousers or your choice of skirt and leggings.

Put a Pin in it

Scarf pins are back with a bang in beautiful and decorative ways to wear scarves. Scarf pins, clips and brooches keep your scarf intact and save it from flopping around and deliver a fuss free and charming look. With several innovative takes on traditional materials, scarf pins and clips are readily available and add that extra dimension to scarves.

One way to wear a scarf clip is to secure it to your sweater. Look office chic in a printed scarf pinned on to a chunky cable knit sweater, cigarette trousers, and laced oxfords.
