How to choose?
When purchasing an accessory, you need to pay attention to the following factors:
- season. In the cold season, the scarf should protect from the cold. The thickness of the material also matters;
- material quality. Scarves made of natural material look preferable: wool, silk, linen, cashmere. If you cannot find a completely natural material, you can use 70%;
- length. Not too big and not too small. The main thing is that you can cover your neck. A very long scarf will look ridiculous on a woman of short stature, and a short one on a tall one;
- color. Depending on the natural data of the girl, it is worth looking at certain shades. So, for example, girls with swarthy skin and dark hair color are best suited for the expressive color gamut of the product, and light - in no case should you choose pale tones, because this will not harmonize with the general image;
- thin or thick. Here you need to look depending on the shape. If a girl has an excellent figure, then it is better for her to choose a voluminous scarf, for full fashionistas - a thinner product: from cashmere or openwork knitting. Do not forget that it is not worn tight.
What to wear?
This product will harmoniously look with almost any toilet. So, the images with skirts, dresses, jeans, pants will be interesting. It is mainly used in the cold seasons as a complement to outerwear. But there are exceptions, which we will discuss below.
The wide model in most cases is used as a collar or snud. Such an image will look quite impressive and presentable.
If this accessory has a wide cut, then it can be used as a jacket, thus the back will be covered up to the waist, which is very convenient in cold weather.
If you use a scarf with sleeves as an addition to outerwear, then you need to wear it carefully with a coat, since for standard sizes of sleeves the coat will be visually enlarged. Better when the sleeves are slightly smaller than standard.
You can tie a scarf with a knot in front - this will add sportiness to the resulting bow.
Tight outfits along with a scarf will remove unnecessary shapes, and the waist will seem less voluminous.
Summer trend
Summer is a time of experimentation and fashionable variety. A trend such as a scarf with sleeves can look stylish in the summer if you choose the appropriate clothes for it.
A light shade of a scarf will easily fit if you wear it complete with shorts and a T-shirt or summer dress.
The brown shade of the product is in perfect harmony with the output dress, emphasizing the silhouette, and at the same time gives the bow romance and lightness.
The darkish shade of the transformer scarf is suitable for casual style. At the same time, girls can use dark trousers, a white or beige T-shirt and shoes on a low platform.
Those who like to look at their image will use a product with large sleeves of a light tone with a dress above the knees. Also for a memorable image, it is good to use tights of dark palettes and shoes with laces on a thick platform.
The classic design will turn out if you use a beige color of a scarf with dark skinny jeans and a blouse of the same shade. In addition to the look, a dark bag, glasses and shoes of the same color are suitable.
How to do it yourself?
To tie this type of scarf, patterns are absolutely not needed. Dimensions can be formed at your discretion. However, there are still standards for such a product: 40cm - width, 140-150 - length.
So, for needlework knitting a two-color product, you need wool: 400 grams - the main color, 200 - additional.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that when buying wool, it is preferable to give the material of natural fibers - even if it is not 100% wool, but at least 70%.
