Scarf Draping
{the newest, chic way to wear your scarf}
The runway and the it girls on the street fashion scene are leading the charge on the newest way to wear your favorite scarves – namely, draped up and over your neck or around your shoulder and belted at the waist. And we’re 100% drinking the Kool Aid. We love this look for casual weekend wear and dates nights, but we love it even more – and thinks it totally works – for the office as well.

The key to wearing this style at the office is to settle on a uniform of sorts to wear underneath. It should be a blank slate, in a sense. For example, a crisp white button up and a simple black pencil skirt, or a khaki skinny pant and a black three quarter-length blouse.
Then, the fun begins. Play around with your most colorful, patterned, or intricate scarves paired with all those belts you have hanging in your closet.
For example, when it comes to scarves, we love all things Fabryan, and this colorful Lucia Long Scarf is ideal for draping and belting. Opt for a black and white pallete underneath, and choose a black skinny belt like this Rag and Bone jet skinny belt just above your natural waistline to secure it in place.
Adolfo Dominquez is another one of our favorites for bright and beautiful scarves, and this paisley scarf in ink blue would make an amazing drape around a similar blue pencil skirt and chambray button up top. Get funky and opt for a belt with some detail and color, like this red Kate Spade bow belt.
Or check out this sun patterned scarf from ASOS. We love the unusual pattern draped around a black flare legged pant and black blouse. A black or brown belt (like this ribbon belt from ShopBop) would work beautifully with this get up.
For a cozy winter look, this red checked scarf from Mango is great. Wear it with a white sheath and drape it loosely on one side. Mix it up with a fun leopard print belt to add a little interest to the look.
