5 Sweater and Scarf Winter Styling Ideas that Never go Wrong

By Ruchi Sharma

Chilly evenings, a cup of hot tea and some piping hot snacks. Yes! Winters are here! We may hate it or love it but it’s time to get all the woolens and boots and all winter outfits out from the closet and get winter ready. But the one thing we all worry about unanimously- will getting piles of clothes on for getting warm ruin our style quotient completely? Not at all! In fact, it is time to raise the style factor up a notch. You may have caught up with truckload of scarves styling ideas but mostly they are about satin scarves, lightweight cotton ones or even the silk ones, that work best for spring or summer time. A few of them might work for knitted and warm ones but getting away from the typical ideas, here are five styling ideas for both essentials- sweaters and scarves which will not only be like 2 minute tips but make sure you feel warm, comfortable and stylish in one go!

1. Wear Sweater as a Scarf

Now who says that a sweater can’t take place of a scarf? Just wear a sweater around your shoulders in a simple way, put a knot in front and not only will your shoulders feel warmer but also take your style quotient up a notch. A sophisticated, modern and unique twist perfect for not so chilly days when you used to remove the sweater and hang it around your waist or dump it in a handbag. You can even wear a sweater in this way over a light woolen shirt too.

2. Belt over Scarf and Sweater? Oh, yeah!

If you have a long scarf like an oblong scarf, don’t just loop it all over the neck or make some complicated styles, just try making a simple single loop and let the ends hang in front over your sweater/coat. Put on a thin skinny belt and the look is perfect. It works best if the overall outfit is a lighter shade and you put on a black or dark color belt.

3. Boots and Scarves are Best Friends

A nice scarf style (like a bow, simple knot or twisted) paired with a sweater, denims and BOOTS. Now that is one sweater with scarf look that never goes wrong. Boots are the best footwear for winters as they not only keep you warm but work equally good with sweaters, jackets and coats alike. But scarves and boots are a pair that are forever best friends!

4. Cutest Bow Scarf with Denims

Though we didn’t specifically mention any scarf styling ideas but this one looks super cute with a knitted scarf. All you need to do is take an elongated knit scarf in front and tie a bow just like you tie one with a ribbon for your presents. Pair it with a contrast color sweater, a pair of denims or pants and it's done! An additional suggestion would be to keep your hair open as the bow looks a little too exaggerated if you tie your hair up in a ponytail or a juda.

5. Pair Contrasts

The basic rule that contrasting colors make the look pop works perfectly for winter clothes as well. Pair a bright scarf with a dull or subtle colored sweater OR a dull scarf with a bright sweater. The outfit looks balanced and this simple idea will bring a huge difference in your day to day wear.

So, moving away from complicated stuff, we hope you enjoyed these super easy styling ideas that will not require any major wardrobe change but will lift up your style quotient many notches high!
