There are various ways to tie a scarf and one of them is to wear with a belt. To sport it, ensure you don’t go for chunky knit scarf or thick belts. Here are a few tips on how to pull off the look this winter season:
Don’t go too bulky: A chunky knit scarf won’t do. Instead, wear one that is made of silk or lightweight cotton.
Do use a thin belt: The size of the belt depends on the weight of the scarf (the thicker the material, the thicker the belt). However, a thinner belt looks better than a hefty metal buckle.
Don’t cinch too high: The belt should fit around your natural waist. Tie it too high and you will have way too much fabric floating around.
Don’t ignore the hem: Movement in the scarf is key. Stay away from styles with a blunt hem and opt for fringe or a slanted edge.
Pay attention to length: Make sure the scarf hits just above your kneecap.
Don’t shy away from layers: Wearing a scarf over a dress is the ideal combination. But adding a blazer or a cardigan looks equally chic.
