Scarves have been a staple attire for centuries now, and have inspired creative endeavors from fashion stylists the world over, with new techniques and chic ways of wearing them to suit more modern avant-garde looks. Here are some featured ways and fun tricks to using scarves in a whole new way of atypical and offbeat styles.

Paired with a cocktail dress

Sure this might not sound like an incredibly unique way to wear a scarf, though added with a contrast in texture and fabric, this look is sure to stand out above the regular. Matte textures complemented by silken fabrics are definite hits and wonderfully alluring combinations that meld seamlessly from day to evening wear.

Wrap a textured lightweight scarf around your neck several times, loosely knot the ends together and tuck one end in and leave the other tip exposed just a wee bit. Voila, you have a look that is stately and glamorous with a completely new and inventive way of using a scarf.

Worn on a silk fit and flare dress with contrasting pointy toe bright colored pumps is an instant guaranteed glam fashion diva look.

Modern turban take

Rock out in a scarf turban worn on modern sleek fit color-block dress to achieve clean lines and minimal silhouette. Wear an oversized shift dress with a pair of wedge heel boots with a double breasted reversible coat for an elegant office look brought to life with a turban wrapped scarf.

Hang loose

Minimal hassle and incredibly feminine, using a light weight scarf for a sash or just an accent that hangs loose and long from your belt at the hip is an effortless way to make the most of this ever versatile, statement accessory. Mix up and play with contrasting colors.

Combine an embroidered or printed mini dress with D’Orsay ankle strap flats and your scarf for a sash, of course.

Silk and denim

An interesting combination for sure, cowgirl styled silk scarf on double denims is a look to have this season. Rugged and chic casual, watch denim on denim combinations transform with a simple addition in a neck scarf or printed silk square scarf for extra measure. Matched with a pair of snake leather stamped peep toe booties and you’ve got a hot and truly fetching all day look.

Hybrid bandana

Neither is it the typical bandana, nor is it traditional rockabilly, but a well-balanced integration of both. Wrapped from the back of the head and knotted in the center of the forehead or worn to side, look uber cool in a printed bandana worn with metallic jacket, classic button down shirt and skinny jeans.
