Everyone has seen the new scarf trend…go big, go bulky, go thin or go home. Period. Scarves are the “it girl” of the year. They’re fun and fashionable! But for summer?! Is it too much?

This is a topic that I have seriously contemplated because I love me some scarves! But, during the summer? So I have taken the time to research, note and watch any fashion medium I could get my hands on…and I have concluded…That scarves really are right for all seasons.

Here’s why…they add flare! They are the most universal accessory, wear them in your hair, around your waist, around your neck…however you choose…but by wearing a scarf, in whatever unique way you desire, you add a touch of flare. A scarf as your headband…different..stands out more than a normal headband?…Can we say, flare?!

But here’s the ultimate question…how much flare is too much? Do we need to rock the bulky scarves? Or is thin in? 

My conclusion…Stay versatile, rock both!

The bigger, the more coverage, the more it stands out. The smaller, the less coverage, the more discrete. Granted, color and pattern do make a huge difference, but size makes or breaks your look.

Bulky

If you’re going to go big, then do be wary of your scarf taking over your look. You want it to compliment your outfit, not take away from it.

Thin

If you go thin, then make sure your scarf has purpose! Go with a bright color or unique pattern. Make it stand out, make people say, “Wow that’s a cute scarf!” …not, “Why is she wearing a scarf?”

Regardless of going bulky or thin, scarves are in! No matter the season, they add a little extra omph to every outfit! Try it!
