A stole is the best addition to a coat with a stand-up collar or without one at all. In this case, almost all restrictions on the types of accessory are removed.
The presence of a turn-down collar is not an obstacle, you just need to remember the principle: the larger and fluffier it is, the thinner and more inconspicuous the scarf fabric and the way it is worn..
Several ways
The simplest, but still elegant, solution is to throw the accessory over the neck. You can leave the ends loose, put one of them behind your back, or simply fasten it with a brooch. If the coat has a belt, you can pass them under it. Another option is to fasten the ends of a stole thrown together over the opposite shoulder at the side of the waist.
A little dexterity will be required when forming the snood. When the twisted ends are tied together as a whole, the result is a compact version of the ring. It is folded into a figure eight and worn either as a classic collar or by throwing the central part over the head in the form of a hood.If you knit only opposite corners, then with the help of beautifully draped free edges it is easy to create a romantic image.
IMPORTANT. When a coat has a puffy collar, a stole on the shoulders may be inappropriate. But in this situation, a wide scarf looks luxurious tied in an oriental style on the head.
There are many options for making a turban or turban. But most of them are performed using a stole folded 3/4 or into a narrow strip, so only thin, soft and not very slippery fabrics are suitable.
An accessory tied in the “grandmother’s scarf” manner looks beautiful and original. To do this, the edge of the scarf is slightly bent and the central part of the accessory is fixed on the head. The ends of the stole are crossed under the chin, brought out behind the neck and tied if a looser version is desired. When there is a desire to drape the fabric more tightly, the corners are brought back to the front and tied into a knot on the chest.
Features of choosing methods based on the thickness of the fabric and the color of the stole
WORTH KNOWING. Thick fabric, when trying to tie it with a complex knot or drape it too tightly, gives a rough and unsightly result.
Therefore, warm, thick stoles are worn simply thrown over the neck or using light single knots. The most difficult of the acceptable options is snood. Thin, airy accessories can be used without restrictions.
It is recommended to match the stole to the tone of the coat. If the scarf has a multi-color print, then it is important that at least one of the fragments of the pattern matches in color.
To wear it in a “snood” manner, it is better to opt for monochrome options. When the coat has a bright finish, the stole should be selected in muted colors that do not attract attention.To match a classic coat, choose accessories of the same color or with a delicate print. But to create a defiant image, bright stoles with an extraordinary pattern are ideal. But even they are designed to emphasize, but not overshadow, the features of the cut of the coat.
