My favorite spring accessory? It’s hard to choose, but if I have to, I choose a scarf. Versatile, colorful and able to completely revamp an outfit, a scarf is ideal for transitioning from one season to the next. I’m so ready for spring, and with all the new outfits I’ve recently discovered in my closet, I’m counting down to sunny days. Mother Nature, however, has decided to keep her temperatures down and precipitation up, but rather than putting my spring fashion on hold, I can add a touch of warmth and style with a bright scarf.
Though scarves are appropriate for all seasons, spring scarves take the cake because they’re more accessories than necessities. You can buy beautiful patterns and light fabrics, and say goodbye to the chunky wool infinity you’ve worn all winter. My top three criteria for scarves this season? Bright colors, bold patterns and sheer fabrics. Find a scarf with all three, and you’ve hit the trifecta!
I like experimenting with how I tie my scarves, because more style options means my scarf selection instantly grows. My go-to is a silk scarf loosely wrapped, looping once around my neck and the ends left free. When I’m wearing a blazer, I like to fold my scarf in half, put it around my neck and pull the ends through the loop for a more structured look. Another option is a lightweight infinity scarf- mine is a lifesaver on days I’m in a rush. It’s no hassle and no fuss; just loop it around your neck a couple times and it stays in place all day.
I Hope this helps shed some light (literally) on wearing scarves for spring and transitioning your wardrobe. How do you style your scarves?
