How to Transform Your Outfit with Just One Accessory

Have you been feeling bored of your outfits recently? Or does everything you wear seem a bit lacklustre?

Well, Fashion North is here with a few ideas to spice up your wardrobe without having to buy hundreds of new clothes.

For this, you just need one item- a scarf!

This one accessory can jazz up any plain outfit if you use it correctly. So pop over to your wardrobe or go to your favourite charity shop to pick up a vintage silk scarf, preferably a colourful one, and get started.

Style 1:

The first way to wear a scarf is a classic!

For this look, tie a scarf in a single loop around your neck and let the ends lay over your shirt. Even though the scarf is pretty thin, it still provides a surprising amount of warmth against the wind when you’re outside.

Style 2:

I wanted to shorten the length of this shift style dress without permanently alternating it so I grabbed a matching black satin scarf and tied it into a bow around my waist to create a ‘belt’ look. The bow also adds a nice bit of visual detail to this simple look.

Style 3:

Here is another way to style a scarf as a belt; this time with some low rise jeans. To recreate it, just push your chosen scarf through your jean belt loops and tie a knot at one side. This look is very reminiscent of the 2000s!

Style 4:

The last method is a combination of two of the best accessories: a plain shoulder bag and colourful scarf. This idea is great for the summer months when the weather is warmer and you don’t want to overheat by wearing a scarf normally. You might want to select a slightly shorter scarf for this style as a scarf that’s too long may overwhelm a smaller bag.
