10 ways to wear a scarf for summer

10 ways to wear a scarf for summer

I live on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona. We have triple-digit highs here from at least June through September. If you live somewhere hot, you know cardigans and blazers are out so how do we jazz up an outfit without risking heat stroke?? A SCARF!

If you know me, you know I loooove scarves! They’re fun, versatile and are an easy way to elevate your outfit.

If you don’t already own a few scarves, they’re widely available now as they’ve come back into fashion. Secondhand stores are a good source, too. Antique shops and vintage shops tend to have them as well.

Ask your aunt or grandmother if they have any scarves for you!

The longer, wider scarves are great for the sarongs and vests while the shorter ones are perfect for tying to your bag or around your neck.

Funky patterns and colors are “in” right now!

Keep an eye out and build your collection! Even if the pattern isn’t something you would wear in its full glory, it might still be just the right “pop” to add to your outfit.

Here we go!

1. Tied as a vest.

This is one of my favorites and this trick is a HUGE hit at my speaking gigs. 

Here’s the look. The width of the scarf determines how long it is.

Two options: as pin on Pinterest or on my Facebook page.

You can also wear it like this with a belt without adding a lot of bulk or weight.

A pop of color and texture without making you feel hotter.
