A vintage scarf
is a quick, easy and inexpensive way to update any outfit. Even your favourite
items from last season can be instantly granted a new lease of life with the
addition of a statement vintage scarf. Instead of investing in a whole new
outfit, focus on smaller pieces to freshen up your style: a scarf is versatile
and can be worn in a number of ways. Team this with a pair of shoes that will
complement your look, and you’re good to go! Avenue
32 shoes provide a great choice of flats, heels and sandals in
colours and styles that can be matched to your scarf.
Vintage scarves
can be picked up easily from charity and thrift stores, as well as dedicated
retro clothing outlets. Just because your scarf is a traditional item, however,
doesn’t mean you have to wear it in a traditional way. There are many ways to
show off your style credentials with a vintage scarf, to suit any taste or
occasion.
Thin, silk
scarves are often the easiest to style into an outfit. Rather than wearing
around your neck, choose a narrow number in an eye-catching colour or pattern
and wear on the head, bandana-style. Pull hair into a sleek low ponytail or bun
and tie your scarf around the hairline, covering the ears and tying at the nape
of the neck. This is a great look for summer festivals and an ideal way of
disguising unwashed hair!
In a more formal
setting, a vintage scarf can add a pop of colour to your work outfit and
brighten up any dark-toned suit. A chiffon scarf works well for this look,
adding a light and feminine touch to masculine tailoring and work wear. Simply
tie around the neck and fasten in a bow. Light, pastel hues provide a
particularly striking contrast to navy or black suits and can be matched with
your favourite Avenue
32 clothing and shoes!
A wider and
thicker vintage scarf is a fab alternative to a cardigan or bolero. Wearing a
scarf in this way is perfect for completing a wedding or party outfit. A
patterned vintage scarf with textural detail, like ruffles or fringing can be
draped around the shoulders to add style and warmth. If you opt for detailing,
you should keep the shape and style of your dress simple: a shift is a failsafe
option for weddings and formal events.
Instead of
splashing out on a whole outfit, update your classics with a vintage scarf.
Worn in multiple ways, these can be matched with shoes and accessories to
revive any attire.

I love scarves! I wear one almost everyday, except on Summer when it's to hot.. I feel they can really just give a pop of color, keep you warm sometimes, protect you from the sun...they're just super versatile and I love it! =D
Have a great day!
