Sustainable Scarves (and How to Wear Them 25 Different Ways!)
I wear scarves in pretty much every season; in winter I wear them for pure warmth – there’s nothing worse than wind whistling down your neck. In spring and autumn I wear them so I skip the jacket or coat – if my neck is warm and cozy, I don’t need much more than that to keep me feeling covered enough. In the summer I like a scarf to don as soon as the sun goes down – to keep my shoulders from getting chilly in the evening air (the rest of the time it usually hangs from my bag as a colorful accessory).
So I was so excited to see the above video, which details 25 different, and totally useful ways to wear a scarf in 4 1/2 minutes. I played with my latest favorite scarf, a vintage Yves Saint Laurent I found on Etsy, which was a gift from my boyfriend, after watching the video several times. I learned several different new ways to wear it, and the experiment made me appreciate the versatility of scarves once again.
