SCARF TRENDS – SUMMER ’17

Scarves are, undoubtedly, every woman’s best clothing accessory.

Scarves are the original, yet stylish piece of clothing that women have adorned over centuries. Even at the advent of human civilisation, women used to carry scarves around their necks and torsos which they personalised with decorations and embellishments.  Almost every living culture that exists today has seen their women wear scarves of different styles, making them a universal, ubiquitous clothing accessory, which have much more character than denims or even fancy shoes.

Walking into a summery 2017, here’s a look at some trendy ways to wrap you in style!

1. Keep them light and flowy

Summer is all about keeping it easy breezy. Scarves are an easy fashion accessory because they can be made from different cloth types. It is important to pick fabric that is lets the skin breathe, and feel fresh. Summertime can be tedious if there is too much loose cloth hanging around, gathering sweat or humidity, so it is best to wear smaller scarves, loosely woven around the neck that keeps it exciting without tangling unnecessarily.

2. Take colours for a spin!

This is the time when floral will never be out of fashion. Spring-summer is the time for brighter colours – so it doesn’t matter what genre of print you are adorning, whether it is floral or digital or even folk, using a bright solid colour scarf will never ever let you down. That’s a guarantee by the fashion police. Solid colour scarves from turquoise, to bright yellow going up to tomato red, would be the perfect dash of flavour to your freshly appetising outfit.

3. Mixing floral with digital is in!

Floral prints have always been a favourite in the summer months. Looking at the latest trends that tilt towards futuristic digital design, it would be a great idea to match some elegant and curvy flowery prints with straight lines, and solid checkers that stand out in terms of style. The fashion lover must bear in mind that scarves of this combination, no matter how sassy, must paired with clothes that highlight them, and not make the entire outfit look mismatched or over-bearing.

With a little bit of experimentation, scarves become the easiest accessories that can help lay emphasis on colours, curves and contours that make you stand out from the crowd!
