I love scarves! They can annoy me hanging down the front sometimes, so I might tie them so the ends hang down my back, instead. And I am SO pleased you are using the word ‘scarves’ – I keep seeing ‘scarfs’ everywhere and it irritates me!

I’m a self proclaimed scarf whore. I’m so happy that they are back in style, I can stockpile them! LOL.. I’m having issues on ways to wear all these scarves, I’m going to use some of those techniques that LegacyOfPearl mentioned.

Love this post! I’m a huge fan of scarves, and often find ways to work in a scarf as an indoor layer in summer in air-conditioned rooms, making mine a 4-season addiction. @Erin – great question. Lighter-weight scarves (think silk or summer-weight pashminas) are great for adding a touch of style without a lot of bulk. Especially with some pattern or texture, even subtle, I think it can actually draw attention away from the bust to the interest of the scarf itself. Experiment with different ways of styling, too. Leaving the ends long and dangling with an easy once-around can lengthen and draw the eye down, too. Sorry this is so long – obviously I heart scarves!

i have a question for you ladies — i love scarves, and own several, but don’t manage to wear them often because i feel like they add too much weight (or interest, depending) to an already very full bust. does anyone have any advice about scarf styling for the ample of chest? preferably without making my head look small and disembodied… thanks!

I like your definition. As an non-native English speaker, the word scarf have always been a question for me. I like to use more specific forms as they are available to me in other languages I speak when I talk about scarfs. I would love to see your take on different types of scarfs. What are the best uses? What are different methods to wrap them? What are the origins?..

A few examples are:
– Foulard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foulard
– Shawl: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shawl
– Pashmina: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashmina
– Bandana: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerchief
– Kerchief: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerchief
– Neckerchief: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neckerchief

I know this sounds so much like a paper review, but I’m sure it reaches you well as it is Academichic. :)
