Scarves Are Sssssasseh

Scarves are really a whole little outfit in one piece of cloth. There are SO many amazing ways to wear scarves. Please don’t just get some strip of chiffon and throw it around your neck and let it hang there like a fabric eel. Here. Let the nice people at Nordstrom help you.

Color! Femininity!

Sexy, intriguing, ethnic.

If you bring a scarf with a lot of attitude to your outfit, your hair and make-up (or grooming) need to live up to the level of statement you’re making with your accessories.

  1. “Ethnic”? All people are “ethnoi,” yet some folk seem to reserve “ethnic” for non-white, making it other. [Yea, except that I’m not. That particular scarf reminds me of my travels in Romania, which harken back to my own ethnic background as a Slovak/Romanian Jew and peasant. “Ethnic” for me means, among other things, “something that looks like it could have been made by a human being with a strong sense of connection to a place and culture, so you won’t find it at Old Navy.”- PB]

  2. I have always been a scarf girl — there’s nothing like them for pulling an outfit together. My Mom gave me one at Christmas that came from Talbots with a little book of instructions on interesting ways to wrap and wear.

  4. Thanks for this! The video is awesome – I’ll need to try out some of the styles.

    I’ve recently started wearing scarves but am not very creative with the “how” – the video gave me some ideas. My favourites so far are multi-coloured and come from “Ten Thousand Villages” (fair trade and hand made).

  6. I see a lot of scarves around campus, on men and women, all kinds. I’m getting used to wearing one myself, since the library is so darn cold. But my former roommate, a flight attendant w/TWA back in the day, could work wonders with a silk scarf.
