Trying to protect their necks from the cold wind and frost, Chinese warriors wrapped them in several layers of small fabric patches.

After a while, a similar detail could be found under the armor of the ancient Romans, who, going to colder countries, tried to protect themselves from an unusually cold climate. Gradually, the interest in the stylish and practical element appeared among the Croats, and then the French.

And only in the 21st century, scarves were appreciated not only for their practical, but also for their external qualities. Eminent designers began to include them in their collections, and fashion stylists began to use them as a highlight of images.

Today's assortment of scarves is so large that you can talk for hours about the features of each individual model.

It is very correct to focus on fashion trends when choosing a scarf, but it will be even more correct to take into account the features of your own appearance.Even if you like an accessory of a certain cut or shade from the latest glossy issue, this does not mean that it will look great on you.

In order not to make a mistake when choosing a stylish scarf, you need to listen to the following rules:

1. A perfectly matched scarf should go with all the seasonal elements of your wardrobe, bringing something new and refreshing to your look. It would be best to play with the compatibility of shades.
2. For the autumn-winter period, it is better to choose long models of scarves, while to complement summer looks, it is better to purchase short ones.
3. Expensive scarves always last much longer, but if you decide to purchase a budget option, make sure that it has a presentable look. Crooked stitching and poor material quality will affect your appearance.
4. For obese women, models with a large pattern are more suitable, while petite young ladies are better off opting for scarves with a small print.

These tying options are the most common, but you can also come up with an absolutely original way to knot an accessory, which, quite possibly, others will want to repeat. When creating stylish combinations with a scarf, remember that too voluminous models automatically become the centerpiece of the image, so if you want to divert attention from figure flaws or poorly chosen clothes, feel free to use this feature.
