How to wear a scarf with a coat

More recently, a scarf was firmly associated with grandmothers at the entrance, and fashionistas preferred to complement their look with a scarf or stole. But here it is again at the peak of popularity and the statement that it is a practical, bright and effectively complementing coat accessory has become an axiom.

Shawl for coat

Tied on the shoulders, neck or head, it will perfectly complement the image, adding a touch of sophistication and romance to it. The main thing is not to miss the choice:

• soft and calm shades are ideal for business style;
• unusual and bright prints are appropriate when confident girls create an extraordinary, loud image;
• monochrome, regardless of color, suits absolutely any style of clothing and knows no age boundaries.

It is customary to wear voluminous, thick scarves folded diagonally to form an isosceles triangle.

It also looks great when tied with a shawl., when the side corners are brought out behind the neck, crossed, returned back to the front and tied.By rotating this option, you can get 3 different, beautiful designs in their own way, when the free corner is located in front, behind or on the shoulder.

Scarves made from lightweight materials can also be folded into strips. The long “pointy-eared” version is obtained by bringing two opposite corners to the center and then repeating the action with the folds formed by the previous manipulation until a strip of the required width is formed. Short - if you do the same not with the corners, but with parallel sides.

How to choose a scarf under a coat

Popularity dictates variety: Now, in addition to the classic square or triangle, you can even find rectangular, stole-like, or irregularly shaped scarves. It is better to decide to experiment with the latter after acquiring the skills of tying more familiar forms.

And here When choosing a classic, it is important to consider the dimensions:

• for wearing over clothes, you can focus on the parameters dictated by Louis Vuitton - from 140x140 to 145x145 cm;
• if the accessory will often be worn under a coat, then it is better to choose models with a side up to 125 cm.

ATTENTION! The only scarf that does not require knowledge of the subtleties of selection is the Pavlovo Posad one. It suits any style and cut, is always appropriate and adorns any fashionista, regardless of her age and figure characteristics.

In other cases, the color type of the girl’s appearance and the shape of the girl’s face play an important role - these are the ones you should focus on.

By material

Under a winter coat, it is recommended to choose scarves made of wool or its analogues that can keep you warm.

Light, thin fabric is ideal for summer looks or a demi-season coat. For example, airy chiffon looks great with cashmere.

IMPORTANT! Large, dense knits go well with clothes made from thinner fabrics, but not vice versa. Against the background of a rough coat, a light scarf is simply lost if you don’t guess its size.

By color

When choosing a plain scarf, it is important to remember the rules of color combinations (a play of contrasting tones or a combination of similar ones in location in the color spectrum) and focus on them. The accessory can be a different tone from the coat. But if it has a pattern, then the color of the pattern fragments must match the color of the coat, belt, gloves or any other element of the image.

 

Coat with scarf around the neck

The strip formed when folded diagonally can be knitted in a style typical for scarves:

• under the belt, which secures the front corners of the accessory thrown over the neck;
• with the edges of a scarf wrapped around the neck hanging loosely on the chest;
• with a soft knot, discreetly fixed from the inside with a pin;
• with a tie knot.

A straight stripe is much shorter than the previous option, but it looks elegant if:

• just throw it over the neck and fasten it in front with a bright brooch;
• place under the collar, leaving the lower corners free (this option is also good with a diagonal stripe);
• under a coat with a cut-off neck, make a collar with a round knot;
• pass the ends of the scarf through the shoulder straps of military-style clothing;
• a braided knot is good in combination with a double-breasted coat that fastens at the neck.

The classic triangle formed by a scarf folded in half looks great if you just throw it over your neck and:

• tie a shawl and hide the loose ends or leave them visible;
• fasten with a brooch;
• put under the belt;
• secure with a special ring or button.

ATTENTION! When you don’t have special accessories for a scarf at hand, it doesn’t matter. An ordinary hair tie will help secure the corners, and if it is also equipped with a suitable bow, it can even replace a brooch.

Coat with headscarf

Tying with the “turban” method is considered one of the most extravagant. The simplest variation is made using a scarf folded into a long strip with a side length of 110 cm.

The next most popular are the “peasant headscarf” and “Hollywood star”, called “hood” in the West. for its similarity to this wardrobe item. Both options are made from a scarf folded into a triangle, the central part of which is placed on the head, and the free corners cross under the chin and are wound behind the neck, where they are tied over the part hanging down at the back. The only significant difference between these “hoods” is that when tying the “star” the center is on the top of the head, and in the “scarf” version it is above the forehead.

And again, the retro style that is becoming a trend comes to the aid of girls who want warmth that does not pose a threat to their hair.

Various variations in pin-up style or a simple headband made from a folded striped scarf, which is tied in a simple knot or a lush bow - charming ways to hide from the cold and complement the look created by the coat.
