A scarf is not just a warm accessory. It's an important element of your fall outfit. However, a poorly chosen scarf can easily age your look, making it appear dull or even outdated. Ukrainian stylist Halyna Denysiuk shared tips on how to choose the right scarf and wear it stylishly in fall 2025.

The most common mistake is tying the scarf tightly and symmetrically. This creates a too-formal appearance and is often associated with outdated ideas of style.
Instead, the stylist recommends a loose, relaxed style, for example, a plaid scarf casually draped over the shoulders or hanging loosely around the neck. This adds texture to the outfit without looking old-fashioned.

Another stylish option is the loop knot (or European knot). Fold the scarf in half and pull the ends through the loop. This method keeps you warm while maintaining a modern, neat, and effortless look.

What to pair your scarf with
Scarves pair perfectly with a wool coat, trench coat, or classic blazer. They not only enhance the aesthetic but also help complete your outfit.
In men's wardrobes, a scarf can balance a strict look or soften the overall style.
Length matters: medium to long scarves allow you to create volume without overwhelming the outfit.

Striking element
Scarves also give you a chance to experiment with color. If your wardrobe includes more neutral tones, such as black, gray, or beige, a scarf in a bright shade or with a contrasting print can become a true focal point.
In 2025, geometric patterns, checks, gradients, and rich, deep colors, such as burgundy, dark green, and navy, are especially trendy.

A scarf is about more than just a warm piece; it's about style. Choosing the right model and wearing it right can easily transform even the simplest fall outfit into a memorable fashion statement.
Don't be afraid to experiment and allow a little extra freedom with details because they create impact and define individuality.
