Tie One On: Vintage Fashionistas Find Multiple Uses for Scarves

Mary Kincaid on Oct 2, 2009 8:29 AM PDT

I tweeted the other day about an Apartment Therapy post that highlighted how beautiful shopping bags can look when framed and hung on the wall. Then today, I spied a lovely shot of a framed Vera scarf that also does double-duty when framed and hung as art. Now if you're anything like me, you have more beautiful scarves in your drawers than any one fashionista could ever wear and thinking about them as art just may inspire you to bring them a few of them into the light of day. Or perhaps this idea is just the excuse you need to wrap your manicured hands around just one more silk beauty for your collection. Click the slideshow and you'll find some vintage scarves that can adorn both your jacket and your mantle!

Springy Men's Scarves Move To The Lightweight Division

Dino-Ray Ramos on Apr 26, 2009 9:19 AM PDT

In essence, a scarf is one of two things: 1) a piece of fabric that you wrap around your neck to keep you warm or 2) a decorative item that hangs on your neck like garland on a Christmas tree. For the spring and summer seasons, the latter is what we look for. Ultimately, a scarf in the warmer season doesn't really serve a purpose. I have a lightweight scarf that I wore on a nice sunny day and no matter how warm I got, I refused to take it off because it pulled the outfit together in a way no other accessory can. Also, I didn't want to expose my neck in fear that it would be grotesquely sweaty. Nonetheless, lightweight scarves for the warmer seasons work well when the fabric is breathable and when it is wrapped loosely around your neck with dapper flair. For something a little simpler, opt for any of American Apparel's sheer jersey scarves. If you're going for that urban bandit look, Urban Outfitters can make you look like the ultimate hipster. And if you really wanna go all out, Phillip Lim's beaded silk scarf can turn a bunch of heads. Check out the slideshow for more man-friendly scarves.

Get Your Hair Out Of Your Eyes And Under A Hip Headband!

Alex Gambardella on Jan 22, 2009 5:17 AM PST

Whoever coined the phrase "let your hair down" as a means of relaxation must not have had the high-maintenance mane I have. While I can't bear the thought of getting rid of my characteristic side-swept bangs or the considerably weighty length of my hair, I have to admit that my default long straightened style does tend to hinder my productivity at times by obstructing my view of whatever it is I'm trying to accomplish. My usual solution (especially when I'm frustrated with my fringe constantly sneaking it's way back into my vision) is to just whip out a couple elastics on the spot, tether it all back & then stick in a dozen bobby pins to harness in the strays... but I can't help but feel bad for my stressed tresses, not to mention horribly un-chic. However, with so many hot hair accessories that are stylish right now, ranging from suede and beaded headbands to peacock plumed elastics (and even the resurrected scrunchie?!), there are tons of trendy ways to maintain a carefree coif that doesn't get in the way when you're trying to work! Say goodbye to haphazard messy buns and too-tight last-minute ponytails with more trendy hair pieces in the slideshow!

Avoid Winter Accessory Overload With A Hoodie Scarf!

Anna Yu on Jan 16, 2009 3:22 PM PST

When you want to brave the winter chills outside, you may put on a hat and scarf, and while it may not always coordinate, it will at least keep you warm, right? Well, why bother worrying about mixing and matching when you can have a hat and scarf in one piece! I'm talking about hoodie scarves (scarves with hoods) that will keep your head and neck nice and cozy. Some hoodie scarves even have pockets so you might even forgo your mittens or gloves! This thick hooded scarf by Eugenia Kim has a futuristic sci-fi feel to it. Meanwhile, the ubiquitous circle scarf from American Apparel can be worn a dozen ways (or more if you're really inventive). Take a look at the slideshow for more hoodie scarves that will keep you nice and toasty all winter long.
