Chic poncho, elegant cape or trendy balaclava? Take your autumn and winter looks to the next level with these styling ideas for scarves.
Scarves are much more than a warm accessory. Cleverly styled, they’re a snazzy statement piece that has the power to give your outfit a personal touch and transform entire looks. Find out how to reinterpret this practical accessory below.
1. Poncho
The best way to create a poncho effect is with a wide, long scarf. You need plenty of fabric so you can drape it around your shoulders to cover at least half of your upper body. Just have some fun with it, try out different wrapping techniques until you’re happy with the look. The result should be somewhere between regal and cosy.
2. Cape
It doesn’t get much easier than this. Loosely throw both ends of your scarf over your shoulders so they flap in the wind, giving you superheroine vibes – just like a cape should. This look works well with pretty much any type of scarf. Depending on the wind strength and how slippery the material combination of your scarf and top is, it might be worth using a brooch to pin the two ends together at the back. It’s also a pretty touch.
3. Balaclava
