With the cooler months now upon us, as styling a scarf into your wardrobe choice is a great way to make a statement, and keep warm and cozy at the same time.

A scarf can be a staple for any fall and winter outfit and is also a bonus to looking good and adding character to a look. Scarves are practical during the colder days that are quickly approaching.

There are many different types of scarves out there. As it is understood, there are almost endless ways to style a scarf.

However, here are few examples of the different types of scarves on the market and some small styling tips.

It should be noted that when deciding on a scarf specifically for cold weather, be sure check the material of the scarf and that it is a warm and durable fabric, wool, or knit.

The Rectangle: This scarf is probably the cheapest and most common type of scarf out there. It tends to be just a long rectangle of fabric with a variety of different sizes. For styling there is no end to what can done with his scarf. It can be used as a head piece (like a Hijab), a belt, or used as traditional scarf around the neck.

The Infinity: Infinity scares have been on the rise over the last couple years. An infinity scarf is circular scarf that is connected at both ends. Although there isn’t too much variety in terms of styling, usually it is just warped repeatedly around the neck until it is comfortable and gives the desired look. There many different varieties, however, in terms of thickness and materials used with these scarves.

The Blanket: Yet another scarf style that has been on the rise in last couple years. This oversized scarf is the pinnacle of comfort and warm when it comes to scarves. As the name would suggest, it is sized like a blanket and is often styled as if you were wearing a blanket or cardigan around you.

The Pashmina: When you picture a winter scarf this is most likely what comes to mind. Similarly shaped to the rectangle scarf previously mentioned, this scarf also tends to include tassels on both ends of the scarf. A simple way of styling includes folding both ends to meet then, putting the two ends through a loop created after they were folded. This gives a very classy and traditional look.

Fun fact: Pashmina is a type of cashmere wool that is made from the coat of a Tibetan Changthangi goat. However most Pashmina scarves are not made out of that material because it is very expensive.
