Headscarf is a trendy accessory

Women's scarf is a classic that has not gone out of fashion for several decades. But right now this accessory is experiencing a new stage of popularity. Designers recommend that fashionistas wear it not only in winter to keep warm, but also to play with summer looks.

Having one scarf in your wardrobe, you can tie it in a dozen ways, which will allow you to combine it with several outfits at once.

But for this it is not necessary to choose an accessory in a neutral color. On the contrary, according to the latest trends, it is recommended to have a bright scarf with a print to dilute the basic image. In any case, a scarf is always feminine, aesthetically pleasing and practical.

It decorates the appearance, adds mystery to the image, and also warms the ears in winter and protects the hair. It is because of this that the accessory never loses its relevance and always remains in trend.

How to tie a scarf depending on the season

A scarf is a versatile headdress that is relevant both in the cold season and in summer. But in order for it to fit into the image, you should not only choose the material of the accessory, but also know how to tie it on your head in different ways so that it looks appropriate.

Recommendations on how to wear a scarf during the cold season:

1. For winter, it is best to choose options for wearing when the head is completely covered. For this, large scarves made of cashmere, wool, angora are suitable, which can be knitted in such ways - in the form of a turban, in Hollywood, in a peasant style.
   
2. When combining a scarf with a fur coat, it is better to choose scarves from dense, but thin, non-fluffy materials. Fur options are best left for the coat.
3. To protect the hairstyle, the scarf is formed in the form of a wide bandage that will cover part of the forehead and ears, or in the "figure eight" method.

In the warm season, there are much more options for wearing a scarf on the head, since here it performs a more aesthetic function, which allows experimenting.

But here, too, it is important to adhere to these recommendations:

1. For this time, it is better to choose natural and breathable materials - cotton and silk.
2. In summer, the headscarf can either completely cover the head or partially open it. In order to protect hair from ultraviolet radiation and sultry wind during long walks, a method of tying in the form of a turban, bandana or gypsy is suitable.
3. The scarf complements the hairstyle and allows you to remove hair from the face. For example, you can tie it like a bow, headband, or weave an accessory into a braid. These options are appropriate with both everyday and more obliging looks.
