Tie Your Autumn Outfit Together with the Perfect Scarf Choice
November 2, 2011
Emi Hamo, GSB ’14:
Although most people view scarves as a way to bundle up and avoid that nasty cold, a true fashionista or fashionisto uses a scarf to express individuality and keep their outfit up-to-date, even in the chilliest and most depressing weather. Emi Hamo, Gabelli School of Business (GSB) ’14, emphasizes her color-block inspired outfit with a fun polka dot scarf. Her scarf adds a nice feminine touch to her oversized grey blazer and the polka dots are subtle and not loud. Hamo’s blue empire-waist dress, grey tights, and bright red suede pumps heighten her girly look which compliments her scarf.
Kevin Corona, FCLC ’12:
Kevin Corona, Fordham College at Lincoln Center, FCLC ’12, is a great example of how the popular “circle scarf” can be incorporated into a male wardrobe. Corona’s combination of a wool jacket, faded blue jeans and rusted brown combat boots flow nicely with his grey cotton-blend circle scarf. The choice to have the scarf rest slightly over his head creates a very stylish and new approach as the scarf slouches comfortably around his neck. Although Corona doesn’t view himself as a “fashionisto,” his look is very put-together and stylish but with an effortless air. “I don’t really have an inspiration to be honest. I just wear whatever I find comfortable and durable,” Corona said. He encouraged people to not simply follow trends but to “wear what suits them best since not all trends complement everyone.”
Alex Randrup, FCLC ’12:
No need to look at a scarf as just another practical addition to your outerwear. A scarf can be color-coordinated into an outfit as well. Alex Randrup, FCLC ’12, pairs her romantic floral scarf (covered in hints of red, pink, and green) with green corduroys and coral loafers, Randrup’s scarf creates variety and keeps her outfit from looking too boring.
Carinna Gano, FCLC ’14:
Aside from patterns and solid colors for your scarf options, the tie-dyed look is a fun way to keep your look summery even on the chilliest of days. Carinna Gano, FCLC ’14, rocks a tie-dyed scarf in a colorful whirlwind of violet, magenta and with a eggplant, that adds a creative spin to the conventional solid-colored knit circle scarf. Gano’s scarf is also snugger on her neck than your average slouchy and chunky knit circle-scarf.
With the early arrival of snow, a chunky knit-scarf from H&M would be a smart choice for a fashionista or fashionisto as it is sure to keep you warm. This scarf costs only $12.95 creating a look that is chic for cheap. With such a low price you can buy both the black and the navy and white blend colorways that H&M offers this scarf in.
