40+ Outfits With Scarves To Rock The Cold Season

Depending on where in the world you find yourself, the fall/winter season can mean different things to you – either it’s a daily grind of wind and rain or, if you’re lucky, fall equals rust-colored leaves and the sweet scent of pumpkin spice on the breeze.

In our opinion, though, the best thing that fall brings is a comfortable, cozy fashion. That’s why we’d like to share with you stylish and cute outfits with scarves. Wool, cashmere, and fleece make up some of the most decadent scarves you can find – perfect to wrap around your neck in the most miserable of pre-winter weather.

While layering and winter outfits are often a favorite for many, some struggle to balance functional dressing and style right. Ever opted for an outfit that looks good and then regretted it later in the day as you’re cold? I’ve been there.

One way to add to your autumn and winter outfits is the scarf. Scarves can be so overlooked sometimes. These flexible accessories can add a pop of color to your look or even be so oversized that they can double as a top. 

If you’re interested in taking your winter outfits to an even cozier level, then keep on reading for the best ways to style winter scarves. 

How Do I Match My Scarf to My Outfit?

The first step when adding a scarf to your look is making sure that it matched the outfit! While it’s best not to overbuy scarves, it’s also good to recognize that one scarf won’t fit all. 

A bright spotty scarf will clash with a stripy dress, and a red scarf will clash with a pink outfit. The general fashion do’s and don’ts when it comes to color and print apply here – opt for colors that complement each over and print that won’t clash too much. 

The best way to match your scarf to your outfit is to observe your wardrobe and work out your personal style. Once you’ve identified this, it’ll make finding a matching scarf much easier.

What’s the Best Way to Wear A Long Scarf?

A classic scarf for winter is the long scarf. This is a favorite as the extra fabric keeps you warmer and adds to the chic layering look. This can also be tied up in different styles, allowing for many different looks from just one piece. This is great for those of you who like to change or feel indecisive when it comes to shopping. 

A classic way to style a long scarf is the simple one end over your shoulder and the other around your front style. This loosely ties the scarf around your next and lets the scarf drape over you. This style can work well with a printed scarf, as the loose style lets the print show and compliment your outfit. 

If you need to wrap up warmer, you can double tie the scarf around your neck to create a tighter wrap. This is good for keeping warm and can make the winter outfit look even cozier. If you’re going for the double wrap look, experiment with up-do hairstyles like a messy bun as long hair may get lost in the scarf wrap. 

Another interesting way to style a long scarf is to unfold it and drape it over your shoulders like a shawl/cape. This works best if your long scarf is wide or oversized too. A scarf with bold color blocking and a chunky knit can make this look very modern, perfect for a winter day in the city. 

How to Style A Vintage Scarf?

Vintage scarves can be a lucky find, from silk to vibrant prints. If you have one of these, count yourself lucky. If you haven’t been lucky enough to have a silk vintage scarf handed down to you, it’s easy to buy a vintage scarf (or a replica) online or in a local thrift store.

Though vintage scarfs don’t give the same warmth as a chunky knit, these can complement a winter outfit in a traditional glamour way. A smaller silk scarf pinned into place can add to a hairstyle and help you stand out from the crowd. 

The best way to achieve this vintage look is to tie long hair back and wrap the silk scarf around it. Use bobby pins or statement clips to secure the scarf to the front of the head and loosen any front hair as needed. This can look great with a winter coat, but it’s also a scarf style that works well in summer too.

Which Scarf Should I Buy?

When it comes to buying a scarf, it really comes down to personal taste. Of course, it’s always a good idea to browse stores and see what is popular right now, but the best way to know what to buy is to experiment!

Go into the store, try the scarves on, look at your wardrobe, and see what you wear most – what scarf would look best with your clothes? I’m a firm believer in wearing what you feel most comfortable in. Why opt for anything that makes you feel awkward?

Hopefully, these tips and style ideas will help anyone wondering how to wear a scarf this winter. A scarf can totally change your style, so make sure you have one ready for the cold nights!

Classics Outfits With Plaid & Patterned Scarves

The past summer could best be described as a sartorial ode to plaid. We saw it everywhere – from off-the-shoulder tops to flowing maxi dresses.

The checkered gingham print was literally everywhere and this fall season; it doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. Thankfully, most of us probably have one or two plaid scarves already hanging in our closets from years gone by.

All it takes are a few choice styling tricks to make this traditional print fresh again.

The Brighter The Scarf, The Better

If this autumn could be summed up in one signature color, it would definitely be red.

Looking to the fall runways of Dolce and Gabbana, Givenchy and Oscar de la Renta, the one common thread uniting them all was look-at-me bright red.

But if this standout shade is not in your usual color palette, don’t fret. There is still a whole arsenal of other brights to choose from. From rosy pinks to mustard yellows, a scarf in a bright, luminous color can instantly add life and vitality to dreary fall days.

Keen to make a color splash this season? Look for solid blocks of bold color in red, mustard and black like in this long, belted scarf.

Choosing A Dainty Scarf For Warmer Days

This season, we get to choose between edgy bandanas, chic French knots, handkerchief styles and long pencil-thin scarves.
