Tips for choosing the right scarf for YOUR wardrobe
Upgrading your wardrobe doesn’t mean replacing everything you own — sometimes, it’s about making thoughtful, powerful additions that elevate your existing style. One of the simplest yet most effective ways to do this? A handwoven scarf! Not just any scarf, but one with intention, texture, soul — and the *right colour* to complement your vibe.
Whether you’re dressing up for an art opening or just want to feel more like yourself on a slow Sunday walk, choosing the right colour scarf can transform your whole look. Let’s unravel (pun intended!) how to make that choice with confidence, creativity, and a hint of witchy wardrobe magic.
Start With Your Palette: What Do You Already Love?
Before diving into colour theory, take a look at your current wardrobe. What colours dominate your closet? Are you drawn to earthy neutrals, deep jewel tones, or soft smoky pastels? A handwoven scarf should feel like a natural extension of what you already wear — or an intentional contrast that makes your staples pop.
Understand Your Undertones (But Trust Your Gut)
If you're into colour analysis, knowing whether your undertone is cool, warm, or neutral can help guide your scarf choices. Cool-toned people tend to glow in colours like charcoal, blue-grey, plum, and icy lavender. Warm undertones suit ochres, rust, olive, and golden browns. Neutrals can often swing either way, depending on mood and intention.
That said, trust your intuition! If you’re neurodiverse or just deeply connected to texture and colour, you'll likely feel when a hue resonates with you — regardless of what charts say. A scarf should feel like a second skin, not a costume 😂
Consider Mood and Meaning
Colours carry energy. Black adds drama and mystery. Red empowers. Blue calms. Green connects. Choose a scarf colour that supports how you want to feel that day — not just how you want to look.
If you’re building an uplevelled wardrobe, think about how you want to show up in the world. Maybe you're stepping into more visibility in your creative work. A bold-coloured scarf becomes a statement of confidence. Or maybe you're curating a more grounded, introspective style. A handwoven scarf in muted tones or blended greys can become a signature piece.
Textures and Layering Matter Too
A scarf isn’t just colour — it’s movement, structure, and story. Handwoven textures add depth and dimension that factory-made accessories simply can’t. Choose a piece that feels tactile and alive. Something that drapes with weight and intention.
Layer a darker-toned scarf over a monochrome outfit for a moody, artistic edge. Or wear a lighter-toned one to soften an otherwise stark ensemble. Your scarf doesn’t have to match — it just has to *belong*.
Final Tip: Think Seasonless Investment
Choosing a handmade scarf in a colour you love means it won’t be relegated to winter-only wear. Use it as a wrap in summer nights, a statement layering piece in autumn, or a creative comfort in spring. Think of your scarf as part of your signature style — not just an add-on.
