A woman's wardrobe has many accessories to look feminine and at the same time highlight her beauty. One of the original accessories of every girl is a French headscarf or francon, as it is also called. A special style and a loop along the edge allow its owner to tie this scarf in an unconventional way, which not only looks elegant, but also adds brightness and attractiveness to the look.
How to wear a French scarf
A French scarf can be tied in several ways, but the main thing is that the color of this accessory matches your look. Let's look at a few bows:
- To add romance to the image, the best option for this would be a scarf of turquoise, emerald or cherry color, tied in the form of a voluminous bow.
Important! The hairstyle should be matched to the style of your clothing.
- For a business style, it is better to choose a scarf in black, gray or dark brown tones.
- Creative individuals who want to emphasize their individuality are advised to choose quirky, eye-catching tones.
- A scarf with a stylish pattern in red and black colors should be in harmony with the tone of the clothing.
- For lovers of retro style looks, a white French scarf tied in the shape of a fan is suitable.
The variety of colors of this accessory allows you to combine it with various outfits.
Many middle-aged women are afraid to wear this accessory so as not to look flashy, but do not be afraid to experiment. Some tips from stylists:
- Ladies with large breasts should not tie a scarf in a bow, as this method visually enlarges the bust.
- This accessory should not be combined with a sporty style.
- The best option for those who wear this fashion accessory are classic mid-heeled pumps or platform sandals. Stiletto heels will only look appropriate during a party.
The French scarf can be worn not only outdoors, but also indoors.
Models of French headscarves
The material of a French accessory must be made from natural raw materials and be soft. When choosing a material, you should pay attention to: brightness, elasticity, lightness; in addition, it is not bad if it is easy to wash and does not wrinkle during wear.
For the summer period, the best choice would be accessories made of light chiffon, shiny silk or viscose. For winter, it is better to choose practical items made from cotton, soft cashmere or cozy wool.
This type of scarf can also be knitted. To make this type of accessory, a hook is used - openwork weaves give the product sophistication.
Attention: The French accessory is a double-sided product. In which two identical parts can be made of the same color fabric, you can also combine different colors. For example, one side of the scarf may have a variegated pattern, while the other is plain - this will give the scarf a special charm.
Methods for tying a French scarf
Let's consider several options for tying a fronton around the neck.
French knot
This method is very easy to use. We lay out the scarf so that the loop is on the left shoulder. We pass the corner closest to the loop through it. We straighten and tighten the knot so that it is as close to the neck as possible.
Bow
Place this accessory on your shoulders. We connect two opposite corners of the scarf and thread them into a loop. We pull the corners in different directions, straighten them and get a bow.
Neck scarf
First we need to tie a tie. Therefore, we throw this accessory around the neck and pull the lowest corner through the loop. Next, stretching the entire scarf, we get a stylish tie. Then we fold the scarf diagonally and bring the loop back, wrapping it around the neck. We fasten the free end at the back. This option is great for protecting your neck from the wind.
What time of year is it better to wear a French headscarf?
A French scarf is a multifaceted item, suitable both under a fur coat or coat, and under a summer sundress. This scarf will go well with a youthful denim jacket, making the look more feminine.
In the warm season, a miniature French scarf perfectly harmonizes with the color of the hair and eyes of the fair sex, giving the image femininity and mystery.
But still, in most cases, they prefer to wear this accessory to dilute the existing look in the summer. A chiffon or silk fronton harmonizes perfectly with summer dresses, replacing an accessory in the form of beads or a chain.
