By Jozy CaulfieldPumpkin spice and everything nice, fall is finally here and tis the season for sweaters, booties, layering and my absolute favorite, blanket scarves. With prints and colors of every assortment, a blanket scarf is the must-have addition to your fall wardrobe as they pair nicely with just about everything, adding a cozy touch to a fall sweater or a little bit of warmth to a cute vest. I’d be lying if I said these adorable pieces weren’t worth the price as I’ll admit, I own twelve! Like many other fashion staples, these scarves come in many different styles from the traditional rectangle to a gigantic square. Typically, I like to opt for scarves that come in big squares that make it easy to fold and wrap into cute chunky bundles (not sure how to wrap? - it’s easy! Check out the how-to below.) Luckily for you, blanket scarves are an easy find as they are sold at just about every big retailer. I have already seen several stores this fall selling these classic fall staples; Target, H&M, Forever 21, Old Navy and GAP are some of the larger retailers but on a local scale, check out Heartbreaker in Uptown and Urban Violet in NE Minneapolis. Grab some coffee and support these local stores, and ultimately, find your perfect fall scarf! . . . (P.s. for all you online shoppers, be sure to check out amazon and Lulu's for some super cute options! I advise to read comments and reviews prior to purchasing for the best results.) Found that perfect scarf? Great! Here’s a few tips and tricks to get the most out of your new scarf. 1. Classic The simplest and most common way of wearing a blanket scarf. Fold the square diagonally to make a triangle, drape the scarf over your neck with the ends facing the back, cross the ends behind your neck an pull forwards bringing the two ends to the front. Style Tip: Make ends meet Clean up the classic loose style and make ends meet by taking the ends of the scarf hanging in front, tie into a knot, and tuck behind the main triangle of the scarf to create a handkerchief look. 2. Shawl Effortlessly casual, another quick and easy option for making the most out of your blanket scarf, simply fold the scarf into a big triangle, wrap around your body and drape the ends over your forearms. Style Tip: Dress it up! Take the shawl to another level with a skinny belt! Instead of draping the ends over your forearms, let the ends hang loose in the front, take a belt and wrap it around your waist, fastening in the front. How do you wear your blanket scarf?
