Used Clothing Style: The Ultimate Fall Scarf Guide

508819173Leaves are starting to change colors. The temperatures are dropping just a bit. Pumpkin spice EVERYTHING is emerging. You know what that means? It’s fall! While fall means a lot of things, one of the best things in the used clothing world is that you can start layering items and wearing scarves.

Scarves can be used for many different things other than just around your neck. Even when used around your neck, there’s a bunch of ways to tie it that we bet you’ve never thought of.

Fear not, we’ve got your fall guide to scarves and used clothing right here.

But first, we’re going to let you in on a little secret. One of the best places to find cool scarves for a low price is your local thrift store. Used clothing stores often sell clothing that actually hasn’t been used and is trendy and in line with current fall styles. Just like The Arc Store and its trendy little section that sells new and used clothing called the Timeless Boutique.

Some scarf lingo you should know:

Bandanna Scarves: A piece of cloth in the shape of a triangle or square. These scarves tend to be a bit shorter and are worn tighter and closer to the neck. They do not hang low or wrap many times around the neck. These are good for summer time or for when you want to keep your shirt uncovered. These are also great for wrapping around your head for the use of a headband. 

Infinity Scarves: A type of neck scarf that forms a single circle with no beginning and no end. These types of scarves are good for people who don’t want to worry about tying or looping a scarf themselves. Infinity scarves are convenient and cute.

Neck Scarves: These are the most common type of scarves. Most scarves that you see will fall under the classification of neck scarves. These scarves can vary in lengths but often require you to loop or tie them.

25 Ways to Wear a Scarf

Some tips when shopping for a scarf this fall season

Be open to pattern

Choosing scarves that have some sort of pattern or different colors running through it is a great way to add spice to any outfit. Plus, if there are different colors you can wear it with lots of different outfits.

Try it on before buying

While scarves may be something you’ve never thought of trying on before you purchase it, you definitely should! Have you ever gotten home with a scarf that was too big for your body or even worse, too short or small for your neck? Avoid the problem and try it on in the store before you buy it. 

Remember the staples

Having scarves that are plain, simple colors should be a staple in your wardrobe. Scarves that are plain can be paired with almost anything that matches and can be dressed up or down. 

Just remember to have fun with your scarves this fall season! Be open to trying new things and always check your local used clothing stores to find the best prices on cute scarves to add to your collection!
