Take scarves for example – they have the ability to elevate and transform any outfit just by tying them differently. And not to forget, you can also wear it as a headscarf to create a stunning look! So here's how you can wear a scarf after 60 to look fresh and fashion-conscious!
Stylish ideas on how to wear a scarf after 60
At 60, you belong to the category of pensioners, but this does not mean at all that you have to dress like a grandmother. There are dozens of ways to stay stylish. One of them is to learn how to wear the scarf in a fashionable way.
Wrapped around the neck, with a twist
To look both stylish and casual, you can wrap the scarf around your neck several times and leave the ends open or tie them. Both are good options, but which one you choose also depends on the thickness of the fabric. If the scarf is very thick, it sometimes doesn't stand well when the ends are tied together. So experiment at home and decide which option suits your coat best.
Also try leaving one end at the front and the other at the back - this is a very flirty way to wear a scarf.
Simply draped over the shoulders
Just as there is a wide range of scarf designs to choose from, there are also many ways to tie it and wear it around your neck. However, sometimes you don't even need to tie it, just drape it over your shoulders and let the ends fall freely over your coat. However, this only serves the aesthetic function of the scarf without actually keeping your neck warm. We therefore advise you to use this styling option only on autumn and winter days with milder weather.

Don't have an XL knitted scarf? No problem! A cozy sweater that you put over your raincoat will also do the trick. However, be careful when applying this type of styling. In this case it works because it is a monochrome outfit in a sporty-elegant style and the green sweater on the shoulders creates a nice contrast.
Tied on the side for a retro chic look
A silk scarf can do wonders for your look. Simply choose a scarf with a nice pattern that matches your outfit and tie it at the side - this is the most flattering way to wear a scarf after 60. It combines form and function, conceals the neck and possible signs of aging and draws attention upwards, to the face. This technique looks wonderful paired with a clean dress or a neutral sweater.
