A scarf can be worn for a variety of different reasons including warmth and style. There are a great selection of scarves out there including ones made from knits, wools, flirty sheers, cashmere and cotton. A warm scarf is an absolute necessity on a cold day because it can protect you from winter’s wind and snow. A very popular scarf this season is the infinity scarf. Instead of having to loop and tie the scarf yourself, this circular scarf just keeps going around the neck. Scarves made of more lightweight materials can help to bring an outfit together with a flare of pattern and color. There are many different ways to wear a scarf including a simple loose knot at the front of the chest, circled around the neck or left undone for a more casual look. A great way to add interest to a basic jeans and t-shirt outfit is to tie a feminine printed scarf around your neck. It not only anchors the outfit, but dresses it up a bit as well. A large over-sized one color scarf is also great for formal outfits including dresses. They can be made of cashmere  and look elegant draped across the shoulders. There are many different stores that have great scarves to choose from including the ever trendy Banana Republic and Club Monaco.
