Put a New Twist on Your Yellow Scarf

Put a New Twist on Your Yellow Scarf

What distinguishes a street style star from your average sidewalk strutter? Creativity. Those who have captivated the eyes of the public and the cameras of photographers the world over look into their wardrobe and see possibilities, looking at old items in new ways. Be inspired by their inventive take by dreaming up a new use for your old yellow scarf.

It’s obvious that a yellow scarf can be worn around your neck to keep you warm in snowy weather or to add a bit of color near your face. But don’t stop there. With our tips, you’ll be dreaming up diverse uses for your canary-colored scarf in no time.

As a Belt

Let a long, skinny scarf serve as a belt to accentuate your curves. Loop it through the belt loops of high-waisted shorts and tie the scarf in a big bow for some flirty flair. Wear it with a button-down shirt tucked into your shorts and slip into some no-nonsense loafers to counterbalance the flamboyance of a large bow.

As a Headwrap

Bad hair day? No problem. Use a square silk scarf with a bright pattern on it to wrap your hair up in a ‘50s-style hair scarf. Don oversized sunglasses and a shock of red lipstick to keep the look fresh, and add a voluminous circle skirt to complete the look.

As a Purse Accent

Sick of that practical-but-boring purse you cart around every day? Give it new life by tying a silk scarf to one of the zippers. It will flow out behind you as you walk, creating drama as it flutters colorfully in the wind, and will insure that your outfit never looks basic.

Though we’ve given you some tips to start with, the sky’s the limit. Don’t be scared to come up with even more uses for your roster of yellow scarves.

Yellow scarves are a more diverse wardrobe item than you think.
