How To Wear Scarfs With Style and Not Look Like a Dork

Yesterday I posted about this fashion find of Jessica Alba’s $250 scarf and thought it would be a good idea if I research the whole scarf trend a bit more to provide readers with tips on how to wear a scarf and not look like a big dork (just like Jessica does).

This season scarfs have clearly reinvented itself an item that keeps your neck warm to one of the ”it” accessories of the season and for a simple reason, they are simple, chic and an affordable way to liven up the look of any outfit.

“‘Scarves are incredibly inexpensive, but they allow you to add a punch of color and pattern to any outfit,” says Joshua Thomas, trends spokesman for Target in Minneapolis. ”Loop them around your bag, hair or belt loop or wear them in a more traditional way around your neck.”

But with all the good there are also things to stay away from. “Americans tend to get a little too precise, too stiff with their scarves,” says FocusOnStyle.com. ”They make sure the creases are in place. But that’s not style. It’s not a fuss-in-the-mirror-10-times look. It’s the loosen-up, live-it-up kind of scarf. Once it looks too done, it’s wrong.”
