Scarves are a perfect way to brighten up any outfit you have and will allow you to be adventurous with colour while still being workplace appropriate. Wearing a scarf around you neck is such a classicly stylish look, that you really shouldn’t worry about it being dated.
A scarf tied around the handle of your bag will give a new perspective to your everyday tote. You can also thread it through the loops of your skirt or pants to break up dull colours created by head-to-toe black or navy.
A silk scarf is also the perfect solution for a bad hair day. Just fold the scarf into a strip and tie it around your head to make a chic headband. Scarves wrapped around your wrist can become a fantastic alternative to a bracelet if you can’t stand having jewelry banging while you work.
Remember to be adventurous in your scarf choice, but also remember your season. Bright bold scarves are great for the warmer months — look for graphic Pucci-inspired prints and pretty florals to complement the season. For winter, try stripes and classic prints — you can even splurge on a Hermes scarf, the holy grail of all scarves!
