Now that fall is finally here, and our summer wardrobes are folded away, it’s time to pull out one of my favorite accessories, scarves. Coming in various shapes, sizes, textures and colors, scarves are unquestionably a must have item for the fall season.
Scarves add a statement of personality to any male or female #ootd or (Outfit of the Day.) Yes, I said male and female, because a scarf is a unisex accessory. I love when I see a guy pair his favorite scarf with a simple, but modern outfit, it’s incredibly sexy.
So, I’m sure you are wondering what the current trends are for scarves in men’s and women’s fashion this fall season. Well never fear, I’m here to give you the update.
This season, according to harpersbazaar.com, women’s scarves feature colorful and printed designs. So ladies, you can continue wearing your current printed designs, but the newest prints are vertical strips, geometric abstract prints and soft pastel tones. I’m more of a leopard print kind of girl, but those are definitely some new styles I wouldn’t mind trying out in my own wardrobe this fall.
For men, according to thetrendspotter.net, large, chunky and statement patterned scarves are a must this fall and winter season. These styles are the perfect accessory to add color and contrast to any guy’s outift, and most scarves are quite affordable.
The scarves give you versatility, so you can use them to dress up an outfit, or dress it down, depending on the occasion.
Many people wonder about the best way to style a scarf. My answer to this is the way in which you wear the scarf is your individual choice. Scarves are a personal expression piece, some people wear scarves to spice up an outfit, while others wear it because they are simply trying to stay warm. How you choose to wear your scarf is entirely up to you.
On Longwood’s campus, I don’t see many guys experimenting with the scarf trend, but us ladies are in a relationship with our scarves. Every day I see so many different prints, styles, textures, colors and sizes.
I believe every Longwood lady was just as excited as I was when scarf and boot season arrived. We all love the opportunity to throw a scarf on with a cute dress and boots, or even with just a simple shirt and jeans.
Whatever you choose to wear, be 100 percent comfortable with it, that’s what fashion and style is all about. Don’t ever forget to have fun with it, and always be open to explore the endless possibilities.
