Fall, by far, is my favorite season of the year. Here in the bay, the weather stays fairly warm in the fall (think high 50s to 70s), and temperatures don’t hit winter lows until about January. Just because we have great fall/early winter weather doesn’t mean never gets cold and breezy! We have warm days but our nights get cold and windy fast.
I look forward to wearing scarves fall through spring, since they bring color and excitement to any outfit. You can make an old outfit or a plain outfit look completely redone and spruced up solely by adding a scarf. They totally pull a casual outfit (say, a white tee and jeans) together. I tend to look at printed scarves because they are far more exciting than plain scarves. Here are some of my favorite picks for fall.
1. Mercator To Your Tastes – Modcloth.com – $64.99 (Pre-order)
This scarf caught my eye quickly, as I haven’t yet seen a scarf with a printed map as the pattern. Being white with blue text, the colors aren’t bold, but the print itself is what brings attention to this accessory. This item is available for pre-order this at Modcloth.com.
2. Diane von Furstenberg ‘New Rochelle’ Scarf – Nordstrom – $185
A DVF scarf is always a classy addition to any wardrobe. With fun patterns and neutral colors, this scarf can be worn casually or can be used to make an outfit more fun for work. It’s price tag of nearly $200 is much more of a splurge, but if DVF patterns really catch your eye, you’ll end up holding onto this piece for years to come. There is also a giraffe pattern of this scarf available which looks just as classy and clean as this pick.
3. Floral Fringe Scarf – Forever 21 – $8.80
Forever 21 is a great place to pick up scarves for a nominal price. Their patterns are normally very fashionable yet affordable. If you’re unsure of a pattern, this is a great place to purchase a scarf as you will not be finding accessories this fashionable for this price point anywhere else. This bright yellow scarf goes great with fall neutrals such as brown, cognac, or oxblood. However, this scarf also works very well in spring, with teal colors. This scarf is also light, so it’s best worn in mild seasons like fall and spring.
4. Cooperative Conversational Print Scarf – Urban Outfitters – $25
Urban Outfitters happens to be one of my favorite places to purchase scarves. Often, their patterns are one of a kind, and their quality is much like that you would be paying for a $50+ scarf. This bright yellow scarf once again goes well with fall neutrals, but this scarf is also bright enough to go with a black jacket or a white tee.
5. Tube Scarf – H&M – $9.95
Circle scarves are all the rage right now, but there aren’t many ways you can wear them. This circle scarf from H&M is no-fuss in a neutral pattern (but also available in a bright, bold cheetah print).
