If you're wearing a monochromatic outfit, you can even pop on a scarf that has multicolored designs in it. If you wear a patterned scarf with a patterned shirt, just make sure that one pattern is big and the other is small. For instance, you might wear a scarf with a large floral pattern with a shirt with little blue checks. Thanks! We're glad this was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.

If you’re a man who wants to wear a scarf, pick a scarf that suits the weather and how you want to wear it. For cold days, try a wool scarf worn in the “classic flip.” First, drape the scarf around your neck so that one end hangs lower than the other. Then flip the long end of the scarf across your neck and over the opposite shoulder. On especially cold days, create a “fake knot” by hanging the scarf around your neck and tying a knot in one end. Then, slip the other end through the knot and tighten it to keep warm. If you want to learn other knots to tie into your scarf to look fashionable, keep reading the article!
