The beloved scarf; versatile and in vogue

A beautiful  scarf can be worn as a top, on a bag, and more. The Spring 2019 runways have indicated scarves are heading north. Classic Versace prints were tied around the head like a pirate, Kate Spade New York premiered vintage-inspired bandanas that are destined to be worn while zipping around Malibu in a convertible, and more designers introduced the scarf as a headstrong trend. And we as fashion lovers have taken note.

Here is looking at five ways scarves can be adorned;

Taking cue from Instagram influencers, here is a style guide on how to don a scarf right

1) A Bow Tie

If you're an entry level scarf wearer, try this easy look. Reach for a long, skinny silk scarf and wrap it around a low ponytail. Pro tip: slip the scarf through an elastic hair tie, do up your pony securing the scarf at the center back, then wrap your scarf into a bow at the top.


2) Bandana Tie

This one throws it back to an aughties style icon: Lizzie McGuire. The middle school heroine was rarely seen without a tie-dye bandana, nor will you be from here on out. Choose an oversized silk square in a chic print, fold it diagonally in half, and tie it over your hair tucking the center corner inside.


3) The Under Chin

This easy look is ideal for going on a leisurely drive. But you don't have to own a vintage Cadillac to wear this look daily. Fold an oversized square scarf in half, place it loosely over your head like Vanessa Hong, then knot it under your chin. Now all you need are black sunglasses and you're Old Hollywood, baby.


4) The Oversized Bow

Instead of using a silk scarf, try a larger, knit rectangle for this look. Wrap it around your head, then tie a large bow in the front. Like Nneka Julia, we suggest using a bright, solid scarf instead of a printed one. A saturated hue helps define the bow's shape.


5) Modest and modern

The traditional wear to don on a scarf, yet making it look more in vogue and edgy. Most of the work rests on choosing the right scarf; in this case, silk is your best friend.
