Shopping tips
• Just like your clothes, choose colours that flatter your skin tone.
• There's nothing wrong with a patterned scarf on a patterned outfit, as long as the scale of the scarf pattern doesn't overpower the pattern of your clothes.
• Play textures against each other for contrast or keep like textures together to complement.
• Look for soft fabrics that tie and drape easily.
• "Buy the best you can afford," recommends Keeler. "A good silk scarf can last a lifetime."
Dress it up or down
A scarf can be a powerful accessory, pulling an entire outfit in a certain direction, so be sure to choose the right scarf for the occasion. "Take a little black dress," says Keeler. "Worn with a beautiful cashmere scarf and a pair of flat boots -- it's a great day look. The same dress worn with a scarf with sparkle in a delicate fabric and strappy sandals -- it says evening."
When pulling your next outfit together, remember to save your big woolen muffler for the first snowstorm and freshen up your look with an indoor scarf instead. As Keeler says, "One of the quickest ways to tie a look together, add polish and finish it off is to add a good-quality scarf."
