Since the beginning of time, or somewhere around then, scarves have been one of fashion’s best-loved accessories. And no wonder, whether the forecast shows twenty degrees and snow, or warm ocean breezes and solid sunshine, a scarf is a best bet. Its easy, wearable nature is surely a big reason for this accessory’s popularity but there are a few simple things to keep in mind to ensure your scarf is current, flattering and appropriate.
While we know we love our necks nice and cozy, there’s a scarf for every season. It’s second nature to add a layer of knit or cashmere during winter time as shown here in the set below.
However, few realize what a lighter cotton, linen, silk or silk scarf can do for an ensem in July. After living in Arizona for many summers, I understand more than most how unbearable adding anything more than a tank on a triple digit day seems. But the right scarf made of light and cool materials, such as this one:
can actually help in hot temperatures. It can also aid shortcomings of your favorite pieces. Everyone has that favorite tank or v-neck tee which plunges just a little too low. The solution? Throw on a scarf and you’re ready for church or lunch with Grandma.
Aside from temperatures, various occasions can require different types of scarves. Weekend errand running might be an ideal situation for the simple, gray cashmere scarf paired with boyfriend jeans as shown below.
Silk scarves, in addition to being vastly chic in warm climates, can also lend themselves to dressier, more sophisticated situations. As an article in Telegraph states, silk scarves tend to take one back to a bygone era of Grace Kelly and add an air of classic style to dressier outfits.
For the more seasoned scarf user, this can be a great opportunity to showcase your knowledge of trends and labels. Knowing your designer patterns can prove incredibly helpful in creating a truly fashionable look. 
The Alexander McQueen skull pattern has been the talk of the town since its debut early last summer, according to an article by complex.com, and gives undeniable proof of its wearer’s fashion sense.
Possibly the coziest garment since the bathrobe, there’s nothing easier than tossing on a scarf on the way out the door. But addition to keeping you comfortable, be sure it’s serving a purpose for your overall aesthetic and reflecting your personal sense of style.
