Fashion Frenzy and Fuzzy

The world of fashion is always moving at a fast pace. Your thinner nautical striped top is now last season's fashion; replaced with large bold stripes. If you are someone that likes to keep up with the latest trends we are about to go in to one of the fashion accessories that adds that little extra touch to any outfit without the need to buy a completely new outfit head to toe - that is the scarf.
Scarves are usually used in the winter but they have full use all year round. Thicker wool ones keep you warm in the winter and silk or cotton helps to protect you from the sun in the summer. A completely plain outfit such as jeans and a white t-shirt can be gleamed up with a selective scarf. The best part about them is that they can be picked up relatively cheaply and completely change the look of an outfit.

This season choose a chunky one with bold stripes and tie a few times round the neck to build up a volume of colour. It needs to be worn with a plain top to not clash; the full effect of the outfit simply comes from the scarf. When warn gathered round the neck you are not only creating a gorgeous fashion accessory, but making your self a little bit more snug as you brave the winter weather. Make sure to go round the neck a couple of times to create that cozy, stylish look. You can even tuck the ends in to make a completely seamless look.

One popular way of wearing the scarves is to keep each end long tying the middle piece once around the neck. This can even be done with a square scarf by folding the scarf in half but keeping the point in the middle at the front, take the end around the neck once so they fall at the front. This method has been seen used by many celebrities last season, including claudier schiffer as she has taken her children to school. This look has been seen a lot recently with a paisley scarf, however you can take it in to this spring by using brightly coloured florals to really lift any outfit.

The factor that makes scarfs so versatile is the hundreds of ways you can tie them. Not just round the neck but the head also. A small narrow scarf can be tied once around the neck to create a sophisticated European look, adding that bit of colour and style. Take it up around your head and tie around the back of the neck for a hippy, laid back style. This is also good for keeping your hair out of your face. An outfit can be brought right up to date with ensuring the scarf adheres to the latest styles. Coming up to this spring you want to be wearing chunky stripes and delicate florals, so this simple addition of a scarf can keep you right on trend without breaking the bank balance - something we are all in need of after feeling the post Christmas squeeze!
