The many chic ways of wearing a scarf

In India, our version of the scarf has traditionally been the dupatta or odhni. Larger and longer than regular scarves or stoles and covering a larger part of women's bodies than its western counterpart. 

Scarves are no strangers to us anymore, though. It's an essential accessory to jazz up a plain dress or add colour to a monochrome outfit. 

Wearing just one in different ways makes it look like a different scarf each time. Here are a few options:

A style that's perfect when you feel that nip in the air (like now!) 

Carry it off in style, draped across your arms, for an evening out
Falling down across your shoulders - looks chic as well as practical enough to leave your arms free











(The fuchsia embroidered scarf seen in the photographs above is available at A Full Moon.)

There are oodles more resources on the internet which show you intricate ways to wrap scarves, each one more creative than the other.
