A few weeks ago, I had a reader email me asking how an AZ gal can wear a summer scarf when it’s a billion degrees out. She asked if I wear them out and just get stared at like a crazy person or if there is a secret to pulling off the look. My answer: yes and yes!

First, it comes down to the actual scarf. Choose something light and breezy, like this sheer orange scarf. Anything knit or thick is just too heavy for the summer months and best reserved for the fall.

Look for a scarf that’s proportionate to your size; the scarf shouldn’t look like it’s swallowing you! Bright colors and silky fabrics are also great for the summer months.

The way you tie your scarf in the summer is also key. If you’re looking for some inspiration on how to tie that scarf, check out this video below that shows 25 ways to tie a scarf…in 4.5 minutes! But, take note: some of these styles are best reserved for fall. You wouldn’t be tying your scarf like a turtleneck or have a big thick knot in the summer months. Think: loose and easy, breezy styles.

Do you wear summer scarves? What do you think of the trend?
