Winter Scarves
WINTER SCARVES are such a versatile accessory. It is so practical and plus, it is super fashionable! Imagine being on a bus, you see someone, a beautiful woman who looks like she comes straight from the runway or the pages of any fashion magazine and she is wearing a really interesting looking scarf tied in a chic way. You look on longingly and the next morning, you try to recreate her look, only to end up with a very clumsy knot. Frustrated and probably running a bit late, you unhappily resort to your failsafe, tested and proven classic wrap-around routine and head on out.
But no worries, there are actually four simple styles that you can do with four different kinds of winter scarves. Pretty soon, you would not have to end up having that same old look of yours. With these four easy tricks, you can now experiment and change around the basic. Of course, you may want to keep it as uncomplicated as possible because when you are running out of the house and it is freezing cold, the last thing you want to do is end up being confused and looking like you have been hit by a fashion iceberg.
Keep it Short and Simple
A short winter scarf gets the job done easily. It is not as versatile as long winter scarves but it is very handy to use. It also keeps you warm just as well. Once you take it off, you can just stuff it inside your coat pocket or keep it inside your bag and even tie it around the handle to make it look nicer and chicer.
All you have to do is drape the scarf around your neck, keeping the left side slightly shorter. Cross the right side over and begin to tie a knot without pulling the right side all the way through. With the two ends uneven, drape the pulled-out portion over the unfinished knot, making it look like a half-bow. To finish off the look and make it a bit dressier, add a large broach or scarf pin, which will also hold the arrangement in place. You can also simply tuck both ends into your coat for another different approach which may also give you added warmth and comfort.
This short scarf is really chic! It is so thick and just by looking at it you will know that it can give you the much-needed warmth that you are looking for during the winter season. Shopping for winter scarves is a little bit tricky. Quality is really important because you do not want to go around wearing something that might not give you the best comfort that you sufficiently need. Of course, you also want to take note of the style because winter can sometimes make women feel dull but with just the right item, you can come away wearing a scarf that gives you the best of both.
Pashmina for Comfort and Style
Pashmina winter scarves are really perfect for the cold season. They are very luxurious and thick; both aspects are a great selling point for both comfort and style. To wear it, first fold the pashmina in half and then position the center at the front of your neck, with the ends draping over your back. Crisscross the ends and bring them over to the front of your neck. Tie a loose knot at the front and tuck it underneath the wrapped portion of the scarf, keeping that upper layer (which covers the knot) loose. Flatten out the ends over the chest as much as you can to make them less puffy. Then, gently pull down the top layer to cover the knot. The end result would look more like you are wearing a loose turtleneck than it being just a pashmina winter scarf.

Be Artistic with Winter Scarves
Wearing winter scarves artistically as well as staying practically warm might sound complicated at first but it really is simple and very easy.

Take the other side and basically thread in through the knot. Tighten it. If you want to wear it with a coat, tie it closer to your neck or lower it if you want it to appear more like an accessory to your outfit.
Kate Moss usually knows how to dress better than that, and definitely more exciting than that. Wearing scarves in an artistic sense makes it work like fashion accessories rather than it being a very important piece of clothing during the winter. However, it is more fun that way because you get to do a lot with a scarf and you can totally experiment with it; making it look like high fashion than being lazy is a very challenging thing to especially when you are dealing with winter scarves. Do not fret, all you have to do is follow your favorite style star and copy how she does her winter scarves. There are bound to be tons in the internet so browse through them and if you love a certain look, go ahead and make it your own.
Keeping it Long and Interesting
Long winter scarves are the most fun to work with. You can play around with it the most and because of its versatility, you can go and change it up all the time. The European way of styling the scarf is the simplest and most popular to use. Just fold the scarf in half then drape it around your neck, with two ends on the left side and a loop on the right side-each facing forward. Slip both loose ends through the loop and tighten it up as desired.
Agyness Deyn is one of those models who transcends from the world of high fashion and into everything commercial. She has this bold look and her attitude is so admirable that she has gained a lot of fans because of that. She is the type who can absolutely pull off neon dresses even in winter. If you want to have her kick-ass persona, you can do that by wearing colorful items instead of the predictable gray or black colors that everyone is wearing during this cold season. So keep it interesting and fun. Play around with a long winter scarf; it is so versatile that you can wear it as a shawl or a wrap-around that you can cover your head with it as well.
