Your grandmother and your mother were right. The scarf is a winter essential as it prevents the cold from affecting our respiratory zone.
The truth is that in addition to their functional look, scarves add a touch of unique style to any outfit in winter. It is the grace of accessories: they complement our look, they provide nuances that can be more traditional or more rocker. Accessories are to clothing, what arrangements are to music, what type of brushstroke is to painting.
That is why here we give you a guide to please your mother, avoid catching a cold and wear that stylish scarf or dupatta.
PROPORTION
The length and thickness of the scarf must always be proportional to your body, otherwise it will generate an unfavorable asymmetrical effect. If you are tall, wear long scarves. If you are short, wear medium length scarves. Short scarves are not very versatile and are a bit old-fashioned. If you have a long neck, wear thick scarves. If, on the other hand, your neck is short, prefer thin scarves.
CLASSIC FALL
It is a way of wearing the scarf that has more to do with style than bundling up. It consists of letting the scarf just hang around your neck in equal parts (here the proportion is super important, since a very long scarf can shorten the figure) or give it a twist. You can wear it inside or outside the coat.
CLASSIC RETURN
It is a warmer way to wear the scarf. With the equal ends dangling from the neck, go around or two, depending on the length and thickness of the scarf, and leave the excess ends at the back. You can leave them loose or tie them back.
EUROPEAN KNOT
Also known as the Parisian knot, it is a very elegant and traditional way to wear your scarf, perfectly combining with a formal or office look. Fold your scarf in half and wrap it around your neck. Then, tuck the ends of the fabric into the fold on the opposite side of the scarf and tighten so that the knot is just in front of your neck.
FALSE KNOT
For this style it is recommended to use a relatively thick scarf, so that the knot shows more. First, the scarf is hung around the neck, leaving one end shorter than the other, at chest level. The longest point is taken, looped around the neck, and passed under the loop. Then the shorter end is passed through the same place and in this way, the two ends of the scarf are below the knot.
A couple of laps and voila! Here are simple ways to wear this warm accessory this season and avoid the cold in style.
