ONE OF LIFE’S ultimate pleasures is the fabulous cashmere scarf: It works well with everything.

Men love cashmere too. Think of Brad Pitt, who’s been seen sporting a gray cashmere scarf. Men have been wearing cashmere as a stylish item for years. It’s all in the attitude.

Here are several ways for men or women to wear a cashmere scarf.

Classic No. 1

Fold scarf in half lengthwise.

Wrap around neck from back to front.

Pull ends through loop.

Let ends hang freely.

Classic No. 2

Wrap scarf around neck, front to back.

Cross in back.

Bring two ends forward.

Let ends hang or tie casually. tıps

Savvy style

Neck wrap

Wrap the scarf loosely three times around your neck and tuck in ends.

Shoulder wrap (women)

Place scarf around your shoulders as a simple shawl.

This works well, whether you pair it with jeans or a dress.

Waist scarf (women)

Roll or fold the scarf lengthwise, and slip it through your belt loops.

Alternatively, tie the scarf around your waist to reflect your own individual style.

What are some other ways for women to update existing wardobes and and look smashing this fall?

Consider chic dolman-sleeve, cowl-neck tees. The cut is flattering for most shapes and sizes. They’re perfect with cropped-to-the-ankle pants and small heels or boots.

Step confidently into fall with classic fashion, which works easily with your existing wardrobe. C
