A scarf does come handy when it comes to beat the winder chills, but it can also add style to your personality if you know exactly how to wear it. Simply taking a scarf and wrapping it around the neck is not the trick of looking stylish with a scarf, there are some ways of wearing it properly. It might not have been an overwhelming trend this time around but scarves do crop up every season and what makes them of interest to us this Spring 09 is how they can present themselves as an affordable way to make your look feel new. Today’s It scarves — as seen in the latest collections by DKNY, Emporio Armani, Just Cavalli, Lacoste and Miss Sixty - are chunky, loosely knit, ultra-light silk, cotton or wool blends. All the better to keep you warm without compromising your inner fashionista’s desire to be on trend! The knit texture also adds great bulk that contrasts perfectly with a tank top or hot vintage rock’n’roll t-shirt.
