A scarf is one of the unique accessories that performs several functions at the same time. It not only warms you up in cold weather, protecting the owner’s neck from the icy wind, but also helps to create a unique image.
The scarf sets the mood for the overall look, places accents, completing the overall look and style of its owner. However, one should take into account various subtleties that arise when choosing it in compatibility with a coat or jacket.
Learning to choose a scarf for a coat
There are two main criteria that are key when choosing this accessory:
- color;
- textile.
The color of the accessory can match the coat or a different shade for those who like to play with contrasts in their style. If you prefer to combine a scarf and coat in a single color palette, you should choose the right accessory: two shades darker or lighter than the outerwear. This affects whether the scarf will be the main accent of the image or just a complementary element.
Scarves in beige shades or the color of red brick go well with a wine-colored coat. A brown coat can be decorated with a burgundy or ripe cherry scarf. Other pastel colors in outerwear are played up with the same pastel scarves of a similar shade. For example, a lemon-colored scarf goes very well with a brown coat. It is only important to emphasize the image with small details in the form of black gloves or a bag.
IMPORTANT! The scarf needs to be selected not only according to the color scheme of the coat, but also so that it suits its owner. Only in this case can the thing shine in a new way.
The materials from which things are made also play a special role in choosing your wardrobe. A fur coat does not go well with fur accessories, in particular a fur scarf. Knitted scarves do not go well with leather items, and it would be inappropriate to wear these two items of clothing at the same time.
Besides, It is important to maintain the style when choosing a scarf for a coat. If one of the items is designed in a business style, you cannot use the opposite in a duet. In other words, a classic straight coat does not go with a scarf and pom-poms the same way as a formal scarf with a “fun” outerwear, regardless of the fact that they may perfectly match each other in color scheme.
Coat with English collar
The black classic coat with an English collar is especially popular. This is a rather successful wardrobe item, as it can be decorated with almost any scarf, experimenting with material and color. Three-color scarves, randomly tied over a coat, look catchy and bright.

Men's coat
Men's coat, in particular, classic cut, looks good with a straight, formal scarf hidden under the collar. For men, there are many options for wearing a scarf with a coat. It can be either a light long scarf casually thrown over one shoulder or a complex knot that forms a stylish design. The choice of scarf in this case depends on the color of outerwear, weather conditions, mood and the place where the man is going.
IMPORTANT! In most cases, men wear a scarf not as an additional accessory, but as a thing that can protect them from the cold. Therefore, you should buy exclusively soft, practical things that your man will surely like.
