A great scarf transforms an outfit. An all-black outfit becomes a canvas for a piece of art when a brightly colored scarf is added to the mix. An everyday white-tee-and-jeans look turns sophisticated and cool with an extra layer over it. No matter your climate, scarves are a great way to look fall-ready, so we’re here to break down the different types of scarves and the various ways you can style them.

pink and red printed lightweight scarf

The Lightweight Printed Scarf

If you live in a warmer climate where temperatures drop in the evening but stay warm during the day, the lightweight scarf is perfect for you.

Often featuring a thin and translucent fabric, this scarf can add an easy pop of color and layer of sophistication to any outfit. Great for traveling because of their versatility, lightweight scarves can be worn in your hair, on your bag, as a vest, or even as a belt.

The Blanket Scarf

If you live in a colder climate, where scarves primarily serve as a practical way of staying warm, the blanket scarf is for you.

These bigger, thicker, and warmer scarves can be worn as a poncho or shawl, tied around the neck in a variety of ways, and are a great layering piece to snuggle up in.

These two types of scarves are among the most popular in the Dia&Co Community.
