A stole is a rectangular cape in the form of a scarf of various lengths, made of fabric, fur, knitted or knitted fabric. It is used today as an accessory to complement women's clothing, for heating, sun protection or as a decorative element.
How to wear
Using just one stole you can change your look beyond recognition for any occasion. It is enough just to know the basic requirements for placement of accents and combinations.
With outerwear
A suitable option for wearing a stole over clothing is considered if the collar is not voluminous. This cape will make your look more feminine and romantic. It can be thrown over the shoulders from the back, and the ends of the scarf can be thrown back. If you have a massive brooch, then use it to secure the ends at the level of the collarbone; even the asymmetrically descending parts of the stole will cover your shoulders and keep you warm. If you have an open collar, it is more convenient to twist the scarf into a collar, tying its corners into a knot, or tucking them inward.
When you need to protect your head from wind and rain, throw a cape over your hair, straightening it so that one side is much longer than the other. Then throw the long part over the other shoulder. This way you will maintain your hair and keep your head warm.
Office Style
An elegant cape will help out in addition to office clothes. If this is a set of a shirt, turtleneck and trousers, then a stole can warm you up and slightly hide the flaws of the silhouette, for example, excessive fullness.
By tying it around your neck, you will allow yourself to liven up your boring office suit.
Summer option
Can be worn as a pareo. If the size is too small, then connect two stoles together. To do this, it is advisable to choose bright colors.
Cape. Jeans, a shirt and a leather belt are suitable for this look. Drape the fabric around your neck and secure its edges at waist level using a belt. If you add a hat, you get a cowboy style.
Everyday looks
There are two options for wearing on the head.
Like a turban. Simply wrap the fabric around your head in any way you like and tuck the edges inward.
Like a scarf. Maybe like a hood. A very feminine option. Helps maintain hair styling.
With evening dress. If the stole is plain, translucent is an excellent addition to the dress. Experiment. Which shoulder is better to open and which one to close? Perhaps a brooch would be appropriate? If there is a suitable strap, then grab the cape at the waist.
Stylish matching tips
In order for the image to look harmonious and stylish, you need to know exactly how to correctly combine textures, colors and materials.
Color
If your hair and skin are light tones, avoid black capes if you don’t want to look even paler than you really are. Red cheeks? Do not use green scarves.
Try choosing shades that match your eye color. Powdery tones are especially at the peak of fashion now - they visually refresh the face.
A stole that matches the color of the clothing set is not recommended. It's better if it matches your gloves, for example.
If you will wear a stole in a twisted form, choose designs that do not deform.
A large and bright pattern attracts attention, becoming the main element in clothing, so choose other elements that are monochromatic.
Material
Here you need to focus on the season.
In autumn and spring, capes made of acrylic, wool, cashmere, or with the addition of silk are more popular.
In summer, linen, chiffon, and silk are better suited. It is unlikely that they will warm you, but they will protect you from the scorching sun and wind.
In winter, a fur stole will give a luxurious look.
Keep in mind one nuance - the longer the fur pile, the more volume it will give to your figure.
Important! For more than 300 years, a stole has been present in women's wardrobes. And even if you only have one, remember that the way you wear it depends on how it will complement your body shape: increase or decrease your height, add volume to your chest or below your waist. Use it to get the desired effect, otherwise it will simply be useless.
