Following a few years of loving up our huge scarves, and don’t panic they aren’t going anywhere fast, BUT there is a new kid back in style town…
Let me re-introduce… THE LITTLE SQUARE SCARF.
Think sexy stewardess or cool cowgirl – worn street style…
You possibly have a draw full of these from an era gone by?
I’ve loved digging a few of mine out. My two favourites are ones I picked up in my Tokyo days some 20+ years ago…
I wore this one out to dinner with Mr Style Manifesto on the weekend – got a big wink of approval too 😉
Think of these as ‘pretties’ rather than a ‘practicalities’. (I wear a warm scarf over the top when I’m out in the cold as it’s freezing here in Adelaide at the moment!)
My top tips on wearing THE SQUARE SCARF
Choose a print you love – one that speaks your style…
Or go for a block colour – especially if you’re wearing a busy print in your clothes…
The size doesn’t matter (too much)
- The smaller squares are best for the simple neckerchief tie.
- First fold two corners of the scarf into the middle, continue to do this until the scarf has reached your desired width.
- Wrapped once around the neck and tied off in a double knot on the side…
- The larger ones work too!
- First fold two corners of the scarf into the middle, continue to do this until the scarf has reached your desired width.
- Wrapped twice and tied off in a double knot on the side…
Layer up
- Layer your favourite fine, princess length necklace underneath – super simple and creates an effortlessly stylish look – tick!
Or try something outside the square…
While I have a few oldies but goodies, I love these looks so will definitely be buying a few in fresh prints for now and moving into Spring.
