Everyday Looks Involving Scarfs
Here we go again, another polyvore adventure. This time around I did a little something different. Instead of making a bunch of different looks with scarves in them, I put together a basic outfit and then provided some options about what scarf would go good with the outfit. I did not stick to a price range on this because I thought it was better to see a variety rather than a specific price point. I left the link for all of the looks below in case you do see a scarf you like you can find it there. And here is a link to see the collection as a whole http://www.polyvore.com/winter_essentials_scarves/collection?id=3163511 [follow me :)]
Options for Look 1:
First up we have a black peacoat, jean combo with 6 options of scarves. Obviously with black you could do pretty much any print or color, but I still wanted to show some variations. The great thing about scarves is they can turn a winter coat into a different look completely. For a classic look, stick with solid, cable knit, neutral colors such as the cram and gray scarves shown here. Add some color for a little bit more contrast like the coral and striped infinity scarves. When you really want to amp up the look at some bright colors and prints like the final two scarves with blue stripes and polka dots.

Options for Look 2:
This gorgeous blush peacoat is brought to you by Victoria's Secret. If I had the funds I would most certainly have this bad boy in my closet, but since I do not, the least I could do was provide some scarves that would go with it. While this coat is great on its own, it can not hold up to the cold and then the scarf comes into play. I provided the usual neutral colors, black, cream, and tan. When picking a scarf in the same color as your coat, pick a few shades darker or lighter. This will be easier than trying to find the exact color of your coat. The scarves I picked for a bolder look are bright and play off the soft blush nicely. The striped scarf has pink in it so it does perfectly with the coat.
Options for Look 3:
These options are more bold than the previous and rather than match the coat, many of these will pop against the purple coat. I did not want to do a pure white with this coat, instead I picked cream and ivory. As far as black, this one has a bow embellishment on the end adding a little something to the neutral color. For a slightly bolder look, I stuck with solid colors, but picked colors that would stand out. Orange and Olive Green might be a little out there, however they look great against the purple of the jacket. For printed scarves I tried to keep at least one color in the print neutral. This way the pattern will still stand out, but it will not clash with the coat. The purple scarf I picked is for when a more uniform look is wanted.
Options for Look 4:
This coat is adorable! Finding scarves for it was fairly easy since brown is a neutral color. Even though I do not have one here, any shade of green would also go with this peacoat as well. As you can see I did not pick many neutral shades for this one. Cream is a color that can pretty much go with any other color and with this shade of brown it will look lovely. I chose colors that would pop against the brown so I picked pink, electric blue, and mustard. I chose more prints than solids simply because this coat can pull it off. My go to is stripes, but as you can see the heart printed scarf would add a cute touch to this outfit.
Options for Look 5: Red Peacoat
This is actually the same peacoat as from Look 1, just in a different color. For these options, I stuck more to solids and neutral colors. The coat is beautiful on its own and I would hate to take away from that. Cream and white would dress this coat up a bit, giving it a more classic look. The gray and black would also do that without taking away from the jacket. I chose the baby blue to show how you could make a scarf pop. The red of this coat is so rich that a baby blue scarf would stand out wonderfully. The green chevron and black/gold scarves are examples of how to add color and pattern without overwhelming the coat. As you can see the bolder, patterned scarves are made up of neutral colors. With a coat that is such a bold color on its own, finding equally bold colors to complement it may be easier said than done, so sticking with neutral colors in an interesting colors will get the job done.
Options for Look 6: Gray, Lined Coat
This coat is a little different from the others because it has two textures going on. One the inside, we have soft and light while on the outside we have tough and dark. That being said I decided to base my choices on the outside, gray, of the coat. The neutral color of the coat calls for bright colored scarves. Colors such as yellow, pink, and red will be more vibrant against the dark tweed like fabric. While I am not one to wear yellow all too often, it is my favorite scarf with this coat. If you wanted to go subtle, black and off white are the way to go. I also picked a hounds-tooth scarf in white and black. The cream infinity scarf with the light pattern would dress up the coat and be perfect for going to a holiday party.
Options for Look 7: White Peacoat
It goes without saying that picking scarves for a white peacoat is not the hardest task in the world. I wanted to show lots of options, bold and subtle. It would be silly to explain all of these and how they would look with the jacket since they all will look wonderful! All I can say is that if you have a scarf that sheds, keep it light or have a lint roller handy. A white peacoat is already a sight to be seen on its own, so take a risk and go bold with your scarf.
