According to the material of the scarves, we will talk about the following four types. Actually there are many types, but we only share four of them that are common in winter.

Cashmere/imitation cashmere: Ideal for winter. These are the finest quality and come in both thin and thick varieties. Note: Short women shouldn’t choose overly thick scarves, as they can make you appear shorter.

Knitted wool: It is youthful and campus-like. If it is used by mature and mature girls or those with a middle style, bright colors and dark colors can be chosen.

Mink: A luxurious item. Wearing a whole piece of mink can easily create a nouveau-riche vibe. Scarves, on the other hand, are used more locally, creating a more sophisticated look.

Especially when paired with a straight and handsome coat, it neutralizes the gorgeousness of the mink velvet, making it grand, fashionable and gorgeous.

There is also a scarf that imitates mink fur , which looks very similar to rabbit fur. The texture of this fur is more cute and age-reducing, which is suitable for girls who like to look younger.

Cotton | Cotton and linen : Scarves made of this material are generally more common in spring and summer. If used in autumn and winter, try to choose one that is wide enough to increase the thickness and thus achieve the effect of keeping warm.

Generally, this material is rich in color and suitable for matching with darker or colorless clothing to create highlights and add layers to the outfit.

Scarf patterns

Linear patterns, classic black and white contrast. Simple and elegant patterns, strong contrasting colors, more suitable for girls with elegant and strong facial features.

Plaid: Plaid is a common pattern on scarves, and different sizes and colors of plaids convey different styles. When choosing a plaid, consider the color and size. Women with fair skin should avoid dark plaids, as they can make the complexion look dull . As shown above, a reddish-brown plaid with black accents is retro and stylish, suitable for women with yellow skin or darker skin tones. This plaid, large or small, can be used by Asian women.

Use a bright plaid scarf with dark-colored clothing to enhance the look.

The scarf with letter patterns is full of personality. The clothes and bags in the picture above are all in bright colors, and the black and white scarf neutralizes the colors.

Whether it’s lines, plaids, or numbers, the overall volume of the pattern should be considered. Larger patterns are suitable for women with a sense of volume, while medium-sized patterns are suitable for women with a sense of medium volume. Knitted patterns such as polka dots and small animals are suitable for women who like a youthful look with a sense of volume.

How to wear a scarf?

There are many ways to tie a scarf online, but I recommend using a casual, simple, and practical method. There’s really no need for overly complicated ties.

Decorate your chest: Choose a warm scarf, let it hang down casually to decorate your chest.

Please note: the length cannot exceed the hips, otherwise you will look shorter.

Decorate the neckline: First make a circle around the neckline, then tuck it into the clothes to add a sense of layering.

Or you can wear it loosely and casually around your neck, or tie it into a knot to create a casual fashion.

Note:The scarf should be shaken out, not folded neatly, to add a casual feel.

Layered dressing: Suitable for large cashmere or imitation cashmere scarves, more suitable for spring and autumn seasons, it looks like a special top, fashionable and eye-catching.

The decorative function of scarves

Visual highlights: When wearing ordinary clothes or clothes in dark colors, you can use a bright scarf to increase the visual focus and fashion sense of the combination, and also achieve the effect of appearing taller. (The higher the bright scarf is placed, the higher our visual angle is, and the taller we appear. The right picture is not as tall as the left picture).

High-end look: Khaki coat and khaki scarf, the transition between light and dark colors, make the combination more layered and detailed.

Color Recommendation

If the colors of your wardrobe items are dark in autumn and winter, you might want to try scarves with plaid patterns such as red and black, green and black, or khaki to add interest and highlights to your outfit.
