Without a doubt, the standout accessory of the season has to be luxe winter scarves. This versatile accessory will not only amp up your look, it will also help to shape or disguise certain parts of the body. Wear it around your neck to disguise a bigger bust, for instance, or as a belt to define your waist and give your outfit a lift.
You can also use your scarf as an extra layer over your sweater or dress and nip in the waist with a belt to enhance your figure and create a lengthening effect. To take your look to the next level, be sure to add a scarf that deserves a second look with a bold print. Remember, the brighter the scarf, the simpler the bottom part of your outfit needs to be.

Snoods
A casual look also needs a lift and a fun way to update yours, is by adding a snood scarf to keep your neck warm. For colder, windy days, tuck in your face from the nose down. For a little more versatility, opt for a larger snood that you can create different layers with.
