The Ultimate Accessory
Scarves are the ultimate accessory and an essential in your closet. They provide the much-needed warmth during those dull, rainy days and spice up your wardrobe leaving you looking sexy and sophisticated. Some people disregard scarves and leave them lying around their closets because they don’t know how to accessorize their outfit with them but that dilemma is about to end.
EIGHT WAYS TO MAKE SCARVES THE ULTIMATE ACCESSORY
- Identify the difference; you have to know the difference between scarves as some are meant for different seasons. Summer scarves have dazzling colours and are made from light material that allows effortless flow of a draught to pass through during those scorching hot days whereas winter scarves are crafted from heavier fabrics like wool.
- What jacket suits; Pair it with the spot on jacket and you will be able to make a fashion statement. A good scarf with a trench coat is just what the doctor orders for Nairobi’s weather.
- Different ways to tie your scarf; You are able to tie your scarf in different ways in order to go well with your outfit and to also look fabulous. Below is an example of how to tie your scarf;

- Taking risks; You can make bold statements with the scarves you wear, by using colours and prints, textures and fabrics. Don’t forget you can also pair more than one scarf to add value to your outfit. Remember; only take risks when you feel it’s the right choice.
- Colors and prints; There are many diverse varieties of colours in scarves as well as prints. There are floral prints, animal prints and intense colours that can add essence to your outfit. Don’t mix prints e.g. zebra prints with cheetah prints.
- Making a choice; Which scarf to choose? This is a problem that we come across often. Select the scarf you feel goes best with your ensemble because the odds are that you look good regardless. Sometimes it’s good to go with your gut choice or if in doubt ask your sister or best friend.
- Little Black Scarf (LBS); When you own this scarf you are able to pair it with any outfit that you desire as well as a certain Little Black Dress (LBD). This scarf is a lifesaver when you are in a rush, need to keep warm or just need to accessorize. Alternatively if you think it looks too dull with your outfit, add a brooch.
