Scarves as Garments
Apart from their use as headwear, scarves can be extremely versatile and can be used as apparel in
other ways. Learning the following techniques can enable you to make the most of your wardrobe by adding an additional measure of
versatility. You can add a couple of scarves to your suitcase when traveling and be prepared to create additional looks from your existing
selection of clothes. Their compact nature also means that you can add new looks without needing additional luggage to accommodate them.
The following scarf-tying techniques will allow you to fully realize the versatility of your wardrobe:

plain garment, and can add a touch of softness and femininity to a suit. The variety of shapes,
colors, patterns and fabrics mean that scarves are imminently versatile, and a style can be found to compliment any outfit.
The following scarf-tying techniques will allow you to make the most of your scarves, regardless of the
look you are trying to achieve:

As we've seen, scarves can be knotted and worn in many different ways. But what about those times
when you just want to have a scarf to add a splash of color or a little flair to an outfit? One of the great things about scarves are
their versatility, and the way they can be combined with other accessories to change the look and feel of an outfit. Below are a few ideas
for doing this:

Scarves can add a tremendous amount of variety to an otherwise simple wardrobe. The sheer number of
styles, fabrics, colors and patterns available with scarves make them an excellent accessory to add to your wardrobe. You can find scarves
that are suited to virtually any style of dress. From scarves made with thick rough-spun wool and silk yarns, to fine, satiny silks and
rayon fabrics you can make any look that much more special by adding the right kind of scarf.
