Ladies, are you a fan of scarves in the spring? We usually wear scarves for warmth in the fall and the winter. But spring is a beautiful time to pull out your scarves as an exquisite accessory. There are so many ways to wear your scarves for spring and summer.

How to wear scarves for Spring and Summer

Scarves are an excellent way to hide our aging necks, but I love the versatility of wearing different-sized scarves. From small to oversized scarves, I bet you have some sitting in your closet. Scarves are a classic essential that you should start wearing for spring and summer.

Draped over the shoulder

One of the easiest ways to wear your scarf is to drape it over your shoulders. I am wearing a citrine tunic that needed an extra color near my face. Citrine is a hard color to wear alone but adding this silk tie-dyed scarf created a beautiful combination.

As a Wrap

Oversized scarves are trendy this year. I love wearing large scarves as a wrap for a touch of elegance. These oversized scarves can also be worn as a coverup for your swimsuit or as a skirt.

Belted

Have you tried belting a scarf yet? I love surrounding large scarves as a fun style.

For smaller scarves, I still love knotting them around my neck.

How to wear Scarves as a Headwrap

Headwraps are so popular this year! I don’t like wearing scarves as headwraps, but I did try it once under a straw hat for this photoshoot—kind of a funky boho chic style. Cotton scarves work the best.

  1. So clever the many ways you’ve styled your scarves. They are less an accessory and more a piece of clothing in some cases. Love the way you have used them as wraps. It is often too hot to have a scarf wrapped around my neck but wearing one as a wrap would be more appropriate.
