Scarves are best worn when the weather is cold. Your girl will get the most wear from them in winter, but if you live in a cold part of the country, she's likely to keep taking hers out through spring and fall.

Scarves can make any outfit feel warmer, so they're perfect for days spent outdoors, playing in the snow, or shopping at open-air malls. Once she steps into an air-conditioned room, she's likely to find she no longer needs her scarf. However, most varieties fold up enough to stash inside a backpack or tote.

There's no occasion where a scarf wouldn't work. They can help make her play clothes warmer when she's out enjoying a snowball fight and keep her neck toasty while she's seeing a movie or enjoying a meal out with friends. The chunkier the knit, the more casual the scarf will look.

Scarf Styling Tips

Scarves are so versatile. You can knot them in front, drape them around the neck, wear them about the shoulders like a wrap, and so much more.

Gather the scarf over the collar of a crisp tailored shirt or drape it under a blazer's lapel. Browse the internet and you'll find so many ways to wear scarves and so many ways for your girl to change up her look.

Perfectly pair scarves with other winter accessories like knitted girls' sweaters, tailored pants or jeans, and wool coats. They'll even work with heavy skirts, but you'll want to put girls' tights underneath to keep her legs warm. Girls' hats, especially those made from felt or wool, are another great accompaniment for girls' scarves.
