How to Wear a Silk Scarf for Your Frame.
A beautiful silk scarf is a great addition to any wardrobe. The trick is to pick a large size for most versatility. Tailoring it to your body type and style personality can maximize its impact.
For a petite frame (5.4 and under):
Top: Fold your silk scarf into a triangle and tie the ends in the back. You can play with the length by just folding in the top part a bit more. You can decide if you want to show your belly or cover it, just make sure to not have the lower end of the triangle go over your leg break. Add a high rise flared jeans or pants and heels with or without a platform to the look and your legs will look like a mile long and give you some extra height.
Hair tie: To create a chic look without overwhelming your frame use a smaller sized silk scarf around a ponytail or as a headband.
For a tall frame (5.9 and up):
Draped shawl: Fold a large silk scarf into a triangle and drape it over your shoulders. This will add width and balance your height.l
Layered Knot: Tie the scarf in a loose knot around your neck. This breaks up vertical lines and adds visual interest. A great hack if you also have a long torso. If you are tall with a short torso, tie the silk scarf around your neck and have the ends hang long down your upper body. This hack will create extra length.
For a Curvy Frame with a defined waist:
Belted scarf: Wear the scarf as a belt around your waist. You can add this over a dress a longer style blouse or even a blazer. This highlights your curves and adds definition.
Long and loose: Drape a long scarf around your neck and let it hang loosely. This creates a vertical line which has an elongating effect to your figure. In case you have a bigger chest create a bow around your neck instead. This brings the eye up and doesn’t add extra volume to your chest.
For a Rectangular Frame with not a lot of waist definition:
Bow Tie: Tie the scarf in a large bow around your neck to add volume and sophisticated feminine vibes.
Side Knot: Wear the scarf as a belt with your lower or mid rise jeans or pants and either tie a knot on the side or front. This style is not only fun but also adds interest to an outfit.
General Tips:
Colors & Prints: Choose colors and prints that complement your outfit and skin tone. Bold prints can be eye-catching while solid colors are always more versatile. This is a great way to show your style personality!
Fabric & Size: Opt for a scarf that meets your styling needs. Larger sized scarves always offer more versatility in styling options.
Don’t be shy! Experiment with different styles to see what makes you feel most confident and comfortable. Fashion is supposed to be fun and underline your style personality.
