How to Wear a Scarf Over a Dress



One easy way to bring a personal touch to your favorite dress is to add a scarf. Wearing a scarf can add interest to a relatively simple dress or can help you make the transition from a work outfit to a party outfit. There are several different ways to pair the dress and scarf and you can choose which fits your mood and the occasion.









Step
1



Wrap the scarf snugly around your hips and tie it on one side. Let the edge of the scarf hang down diagonally to add interest to your outfit.




Step
2



Pull the bottom of the scarf further down your legs, so one edge almost reaches the hem of your dress. This creates the look of a layered skirt while the diagonal edge of the scarf draws attention upward and makes your legs look longer.




Step
3



Fold the scarf lengthwise several times and wrap it around your waist like a belt. Start with the ends at your back, then bring them around and tie them in front. This style is useful for accentuating a small waist.




Step
4



Drape an accordion-folded scarf across the front of your neck and allow the ends to hang down your back. Consider pinning the front of the scarf with a pretty broach to hold it in place.




Step
5



Wrap a large scarf around your shoulders and back like a stole for a more formal occasion. This is also a warm way to wear your scarf when you are in a room with too much air-conditioning.
