Most of us have a couple of scarves somewhere in our closet and I don't mean those winter scarves either. But how many of us have a red scarf, a chilly red or blood-red one? A red scarf can really jazz up an outfit and it should not be left out.
Did you know that the scarf originated in ancient Rome? It was used as a cloth to wipe the sweat from the face and neck. Well, it has certainly evolved a lot to what we see today; a fashion accessory for many women and even men. There are so many numerous ways to wear a red scarf that one wonders why it's not used as much.
The thinner and smaller version of the scarf which is typically made from cotton or silk can be tied around the neck to give a chic look to an open-necked shirt. Using a red scarf with a white shirt can give you the sophisticated and chic impact that is quite Mediterranean. You can see many French women wearing it this way during the spring months. You can also twist two longer scarves of different shades of red and wear it as a belt. It gives it a braided look which would look even better if 3 scarves of varying shades of red were used. You could also wear it around your neck as a variation of a necklace.
You can also fold it diagonally and tie two ends around your neck over a shirt. A light shirt would work best in this combination as it will show off your scarf. You could also wear it as a tie for an androgynous look that is quite popular with younger women.
If you're going for a picnic, why not take a bigger scarf that you can use to put down before you sit? You could transform it into a carry-all once you've finished. For this purpose cotton materials would work best. The beach is another place to bring your scarf to. A red one will surely get you noticed and you can use one of those really big ones as a pareo. Talk about instant glam appeal! No other color will give you the appeal that a red one will.
Some women can be seen with a scarf tied around the handle of their bags or totes. It definitely brings attention to their bags, adds a touch of sophistication and you can use the scarf if you need it too. A red scarf can also be used as a head scarf and it will certainly get you some attention as only a red scarf can.
Be creative in your use of your red scarf. There are many shades of red as well as jacquard prints that can really enhance the look of any outfit you have. It speaks volumes about your style, personality and your enjoyment of life. Red is the color of love and passion and what better way to show your passion for life than to wear it? There is absolutely no need to be wary of this beautiful color and you should embrace it by wearing one today.
