The scarf is the most non-committal article of clothing when it comes to transition season dressing. Somehow adding a scarf manages to never look too wintry or too summery - providing the convenient illusion that you are ever season-appropriate. Short shorts and a t-shirt look justifiable on a cloudy 62-degree day when topped with a scarf.

StyleCaster: Which scarf shape do you prefer: rectangle or square? Or is there a particular size that is more diversifying than another?


Lynn Roberts: That's such a hard question to answer as they are both so different. I love oversized rectangulars as you can do so much with them. Then again I love the classic silk square as they're always so chic and elegant.

SC: What are your favorite three ways to wear a scarf?

LR: An oversized rectangle scarf can be wrapped a few times around your neck with the ends hanging loose or tied in one single knot. Or just drape the scarf over your neck and let the ends hang free. Rectangle scarves can also be tied hacking style - when you fold the scarf in half, drape it around your neck and pull the ends through the loop. Wearing a rectangle scarf any of these ways looks great and very fashionable.

The classic silk square can be folded halfways into a triangle and knotted in front, or the triangle can be placed in front with the ends tied underneath-- cowboy style. Square scarves can also be tied into your hair, worn as a belt, tied on a handbag, or even worn as a blouse!
