A stole is an essential element of a stylish woman’s wardrobe. It not only emphasizes an impeccable sense of taste, but also gives the fair sex comfort in any weather.

If you learn how to fashionably tie an accessory around your neck, you can look sophisticated and elegant before every appearance.

What is the difference between a stole and a scarf?

Stole - a type of scarf, but it is very different from it. The image element has a rectangular shape, is at least 2 meters long and 0.5 m wide, and is made of lightweight material. It is decorated with ornaments, beautifully hanging tassels, and a transition of shades from dark to light.

Scarf – a warm item of clothing used in the cold season. It is a long knitted strip. All residents of cold regions keep warm with a woolen scarf; they simply wrap it around their neck in several layers.

Handkerchief - a fairly large piece of square-shaped canvas.You can put it on your head after folding it in half to get a neat triangular shape. Sometimes a scarf is used as a tie, elegantly tied around the neck.

What are the differences between the accessories:

The stole is made from a whole piece of fabric, the length of which can be more than two meters, the width is 0.5-1 meter. The scarf is much narrower.
The stole perfectly acts as an additional element of the image. It is worn together with a dress, tied over a jacket (jacket). The scarf is worn only with warm outer clothing.
In addition to the print, the stole is decorated with tassels, but they do not match the scarf.
The large size of the stole allows you to throw it over your head if it gets cool outside.

Choice of color and material

It is better to have several stoles of different textures and designs in your wardrobe. When choosing it, you need to take into account what the fair sex is going to combine it with (with a dress, sweater, jacket or fur coat).

After all, on a bright floral blouse a piece of clothing with the same print will get lost. A on a light dress a wardrobe item made of stiff fabric will create a strange, awkward image.

How to decide on a shade?

The color of the material should suit the face, eyes, harmonize with clothing and correspond to the season.

In cold weather, it is recommended to choose bright colors. Warm clothes are made from plain materials; if you choose an accessory of the same design, the image will turn out gloomy.

In summer time ladies love to wear bright clothes. Therefore, it is possible to purchase a stole in delicate, pastel shades. If you ignore the rule, the girl will look like a traffic light.

Attention! An additional wardrobe item should be in harmony with the main clothing, but not merge.
