1. The Neck Scarf

Refresh your look with this unique French-girl-chic scarf. Tie a bandanna around your neck, et voila! Pair with a simple sweater, jeans and some sweet loafers.

3. The Multicolored Scarf

If you’re like me, your wardrobe involves a lot of neutral colors. It never hurts to get a little spunky, though; so try a brightly colored scarf! It not only adds a little pop of color to your outfit, it is easy to throw on and looks super cute.

4. The Blanket Scarf

A blanket scarf is the perfect accessory to wear for warmth on those chilly fall days. I mean, who wouldn’t want to carry a super soft blanket everywhere anyway? Pair this with a fleecy pair of joggers, cozy socks and a thin sweater to stay real comfy during class.
