As a continuation of the theme to enhance the look of your favorite t-shirt, we will be styling scarves with our t-shirts. Now the scarf doesn’t change the shaping of this boxy t-shirt, but it certainly pulls the focal point of your look up and away from your middle trunk area!
Quote of the day: “The miracle is this: The more we share…the more we have.” Leonard Nimoy
There are many lightweight scarves if you think wearing a scarf would be too hot around your neck in the warmer months.
To give you a comparison of how the t-shirt looks another way, our same t-shirts were shown paired with a jacket too and then with a skirt.
Do you realize how magical scarves can be?? They can be worn around almost every part of your body and come in both heavy and light versions depending on the weather.

Best Places to Find Inexpensive Scarves to Style with your T-Shirts
I’m a sucker for finding a deal, so I appreciate sales and budget-oriented options. Here are our favorite places to find inexpensive scarves.
1-Thrifting
2-Drug stores
3-Friend’s closets (swapping is a wonderful activity)
4-Make them from pieces of material or blouses that have worn out.
5-Hospital and museum gift shops
6-Always check the sale racks.
7-Many times your other clothing items can be transformed into scarves.
Want to see my examples? Here is a kimono turned into an infinity scarf.
And here is where I took 3 different tops to make them infinity scarves. (Do you wonder how I come up with these ideas? Sometimes I even surprise myself, haha)
Styling Scarves with T-Shirts for Color
T-Shirt: Maurices ~~Jeans: Express-thrifted~~Shoes: Chinese Laundry ~~Scarf: Boden
The idea of styling scarves with t-shirts or any solid-colored top can give it a punch of color. Besides color, there are other details that can make a scarf stand out. For instance, this orange scarf has small tassels on the end of it which makes it seem whimsical.
It’s also a cotton material which makes it more ideal for warmer temperatures.
How to: I held the one end of the scarf in my right hand at my waist, and then took the other end in my left hand and wrapped the scarf around my neck twice. Then I took each end and tucked them through the loop in front.
This makes it seem like a fabric necklace.
Infinity Scarf Styling with a T-Shirt
T-Shirt: Gerard Darel~~Pants: Lee ~~Shoes: Lifestride ~~Scarf: no label
Infinity scarves can be the easiest to style since you don’t have to figure out how to tie them. This particular infinity scarf is quite wide and seems overpowering.
The trick to tame it? I rolled it before wrapping it twice around her neck.
Nancy wore a very neutral outfit, so by adding the colorful scarf and shoes, you give the look a focal point and is more interesting to our eyes.
Wrapping a Scarf over the T-Shirt
T-Shirt: Annex ~~Pants: Jantzen~~Shoes: SO- Kohls~~Scarf: no label
This is one of the simpler ways to wear a scarf.
How to: This is done by holding the scarf in front of you. Place the middle of the scarf at your neck in the front of your body and wrap the end in your right hand around the back of your neck to the left front side. And then wrap the end in your left hand around the back of your neck to the right front side. Let the ends hang down.
The difference of colors between the yellow t-shirt and the blues/purples of the scarf give off a wonderful contrast. It is a perfect example of how you don’t need to “match” to the colors of your shirt.
The pants are a seersucker pattern, yet because they are such a small print, they look almost like a solid from far away. Therefore, Charlotte is print mixing with this example.
