Large knitting
Knitted scarves (that’s what this accessory was called at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries) were worn exclusively with an elegant dress, but their direct descendants, knitted scarves, are worn with a weekend wardrobe, and with fur coats, and even with swimsuits!
Large knit scarves occupy a special place in the line of knitted attributes of the fashion season. The hit of the cold seasons of 2021 are voluminous scarves in very large knitting made of merino wool.
Basically, of course, fashionable large knitted scarves are scarves knitted with knitting needles.
However, advanced Internet users generously share master classes, revealing the secrets of knitting this accessory... on their hands! Truly, when hands are golden, it doesn’t matter where they come from!
You won't go wrong if you choose a complex knitted pattern, classic braids and all kinds of weaving.
In any case, large knitted scarves become the soloist in the image, its main component. Ace & Jig, Baja East, Chanel, Tess Giberson, Veronica Beard, Victor Alfaro created their stylish ensembles based on large knitted scarves.
Oversized scarf
Fashionable scarves – well forgotten scarves? Sometimes this definition is true, especially when it comes to such a trend as oversize.
Some scarves in 2021 are surprisingly reminiscent of their counterparts from the 1980s, a time when major fashion trends were based on exaggeration.
In photos from the past we see huge triangular shoulders, peri-combed hair and complex designs around the neck. In modern photos, only the scarf remains.
Inspired by the 80s, designers Yohji Yamamoto and Jil Sander today sing praises to the oversize style, especially carefully elaborating such details as the neck decoration.
An oversized scarf is voluminous and avant-garde. But these are not all its advantages. “First of all, it’s beautiful!”
Secondly, winter with an oversized scarf becomes much more comfortable, because the voluminous scarf diligently performs its main function - it warms!
And thirdly, the warm accessory is unique in its all-in-one format, because it can be worn under outerwear, on outerwear and instead of outerwear.
Oversized scarves are suitable for girls who are not afraid of large sizes and love when the eyes of everyone around them are focused on them.
Fashion bloggers recommend several options for how to wear fashionable scarves for fall-winter 2020-2021.
Oversize is wrapped once around the neck (this is the classic version). The second oversized look - we don’t wrap the neck at all, but let the ends of the scarf float freely in space and time.
Another fashionable version for the brave and daring is to tuck the ends of the scarf into a waist belt.
Styles and models of fashionable blue coats
Speaking about popular models, it is worth noting that classic single- and double-breasted trench coats with a knee-length English collar are now in fashion. Also in trend is a women's blue unisex coat - in the photo you can see stylish jackets, pea coats and overcoats with a stand-up armhole or turn-down collar.
Vintage outerwear in ink or blackberry color below the knee looks very impressive. As a rule, such models do not have buttons - they are worn with wide belts or leather belts.
Those who put convenience and comfort first will love the oversized bright blue autumn cocoon coat - this model is characterized by a loose silhouette with a tapered top and bottom, visually reminiscent of the letter “O”. Also worth noting are the spacious, straight-cut coats with rounded shoulders and voluminous raglan sleeves.
Girls with wide hips should take a closer look at trapezoidal capes with an A-line silhouette - a short swinger or cape and a Chesterfield flared from the waist in ultramarine or royal blue.
Increasingly, in the collections of fashion brands you can find a light women's coat in dark blue, sleeveless, with short sleeves or three-quarter length sleeves - stylish, original and comfortable, they quickly fell in love with advanced fashionistas from all over the world.
In cold weather, a warm blue coat made of thick wool with a luxurious fur collar will keep you warm. A wide leather belt at the waist will add elegance to the image; designers also decorate the sleeves, pockets and hoods with fur, while the edge of a similar tone or, conversely, a contrasting color looks especially impressive.
The undisputed favorite of practical ladies will be outerwear in a bright azure or sapphire shade with a convenient zipper, which is located not only vertically, but also diagonally, which makes some models quite unusual and even slightly extravagant.
It is worth mentioning separately about the newfangled trend of combining different materials - wool and fur, cashmere and leather, suede and denim. This coat looks fresh and extraordinary; the inserts can be either similar or radically different in contrasting colors.
Advice! A feminine knee-length coat-dress, the bottom of which is cut like a flared circle skirt, will help you stand out from the crowd and create a truly unique look.
Fur scarves
Fur scarves came into fashion in 2012 with the show of the charming winter collection of Miu Miu, and since then fashionistas have never called these scarves anything other than magical.
Indeed, if you want to create a truly prestige look, you need to start with a fur scarf. His mere appearance in the ensemble increases the cost of the image many times over.
A fur boa, an extravagant boa or a modest round collar with a satin bow guarantee a sensual and, most importantly, feminine perception of your Self.
As for colors, the main thing in the color issue is matching the color palette of the season. Black and beige furs are beyond competition.
And besides, burgundy, coral, golden yellow, indigo and taupe are popular in 2021. Fashionable winter scarves in predatory colors are still in demand - leopard print in the top.
But the length of the fur on the scarf does not matter. Just like its naturalness!
Pile substitutes, velvet, velor – fashionable fur scarves this season are more “green” than ever, even if they are of a different color.
Carolina Herrera and Dries Van Noten showed us all possible combinations of fur scarves in their collections.
They also showed how to wear fur scarves. Of course, you shouldn’t decorate a Chinese down jacket with such a scarf, but the shaggy accessory fits perfectly with a fur coat, formal coat or dress.

Designers advise tying fur scarves in a knot at the neck, wrapping them around the neck like a necklace, wearing them over one shoulder and, whenever possible, securing the scarf with a sparkling vintage-style brooch.
The “magic” of a fur scarf also lies in the fact that its season is not limited only to winter. Spring and even the beginning of autumn with such an accessory will be marked by elegance!

Scarf Snood
Turtle neck, neck warmer, neck up, scarf collar - in English-speaking countries this item of clothing is called differently. More familiar to us under the name scarf-snood, this little thing can be found in both men's and women's wardrobes.
The fashion house Burberry gave the green light to the snood scarf in 2009. Photos from old catalogs remind us that back then it was a rabbit fur snood; today more practical knitted options are in fashion.
Simple solutions for snood and women were suggested by Stella McCartney. A laconic model made of cotton and viscose - this is, according to the English designer, a fashionable knitted scarf in 2021.
Prada gives preference to aristocratic models. A cashmere snood or an alpaca scarf in pastel colors is a favorite on the catwalks!
A short scarf-snood can be used as a cape on the head, and a long one can be folded in several turns (even 4!) and draped at your discretion and sense of proportion.
How to wear a snood with an evening dress? We hope your sense of proportion tells you that a snood scarf is an element of everyday wear and is not suitable for the Debutante Ball? But for a denim promenade, with a jacket, down jacket, or coat, the snood is optimal.
In general (strictly between us), the main rule of wearing a snood scarf is that there are no rules!
Scarf models
Before purchasing an accessory, it is important to consider how it will fit with the main item of clothing. Therefore, the choice of model should be treated with special attention.
The following styles can be called universal, suitable for any occasion:
- Classic scarves made of fine wool or cashmere . It is better to give preference to plain models without prints or frills.
- Warm scarf . Options are allowed here: these can be plain scarves in contrasting colors or products with fashionable prints. If you choose an accessory with a pattern, make sure that it contains at least a minimal amount of blue, ideally the same shade as the outerwear.
- Snoods . In this case, an important point must be taken into account: the larger and more voluminous the collar of the coat, the less revolutions the snood should have.
- Fur scarves . It is also important to consider the style of the coat here. If it already has fur on the top of the item, it is better not to buy a fur scarf. Narrow pieces made from sheared fur in contrasting shades will look interesting.
If your outerwear has fur inserts on the pockets or on the bottom, you can choose a fur scarf that is similar in texture and color. A scarf knitted from fur will look stylish. At the same time, you also need to remember about the right color combination.
- Stoles . When choosing such voluminous shawls, it is important to choose the right color and texture so that the image does not look too bulky. Give preference to monochrome or products with fashionable prints: polka dots, checks, stripes, abstraction.
Scarf pipe
Some will call it a ring scarf, others will say it is a typical collar. Old and new fashionable variations of collars were presented in their winter collections by Burberry, D&G, Lacoste, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors and other fashionable comrades.
This “Moebius strip” is very versatile; it fits under a down jacket, a parka and even a fur coat.
Which tube scarf is right for you? One that you or your grandma will knit! Yes, in the case of a trumpet, the more noticeable the Hand Made, the better!
Moreover, a transformable scarf, knitted by loving hands, will protect you from frost many times more stylish than a factory one. If you have a tube scarf in your wardrobe, you can skip the headdress altogether - such a scarf will protect your neck, ears, and smart thoughts.
By the way, the idea of such a scarf model first occurred to armed people. The “pipe” was a uniform item in the Wehrmacht infantry, and in everyday life it was previously worn by hunters and fishermen.
In general, a tube scarf is designed for extreme conditions, providing its owner with warmth and comfort. The Ministry of Defense guarantees!
Scarves with fringe
If Queen Nefertiti, a great lover of scarves, lived today, she would definitely wear scarves with fringes, because they are very self-sufficient and pretentious!
Burberry Prorsum, Greg Lauren, Ralph Lauren, Temperley London offer to crumble the cold season into noodles.
However, it is difficult to call fringe 100% new. Rather, it is an undeservedly forgotten element, looking at which the Indians begin to nervously light the pipe of peace.
Yes, fringe has been fashionable for a very long time, long ago and very recently. Faithful squaws decorated their clothes with it, the neighbor at the desk probably decorated a hand-knitted bouclé scarf with fringe, you will also have to do this today.
Take a look at the photos from the latest shows. Knitted scarves with fringes are designed to impress with the fringes.
This decorative element at the ends of the scarf is clearly not enough; in a modern interpretation, fringe adorns the scarf along its entire length.
Originality and uniqueness - you can put these two words on the remnants of the fringe, looking with satisfaction at the work of your hands.
All that remains is to figure out how to tie such a scarf so that you can show off the fringe and not freeze yourself.
A knot a la Sherlock Holmes is very relevant. To do this, you need to fold the scarf in half and insert the edges into the resulting loop. Have you done this your whole life? Now you will know that thanks to the image of Benedict Cumberbatch, you did not just tighten the noose around your neck, but did it fashionably.
Another easy way is to wrap the scarf once around your neck and let one end of the scarf hang down the side of your back. This way the fringe will definitely not go unnoticed.
The bravest ones can wear “all the best at once,” that is, two or even three fringed scarves at the same time. This is the case when you can’t spoil the porridge with a scarf.
Finally, drape the scarf according to your inspiration and let yourself be warmed by the fact that as of 2021, the fringed scarf has become a timeless classic.
Coat length
When deciding how long a winter or autumn blue coat should be, you should also focus on the clothes that go with it:
- Outerwear of any length is suitable for short dresses and mini skirts - there are no strict rules here;
- with maxi skirts and floor-length dresses, stylists recommend wearing very short peacoats and jackets, but if the coat is long, the edge of the skirt should protrude from underneath it by at least 5 cm.
In the business dress code, warm clothing completely covers the hem of the dress.
Blue short coat
Today, many girls prefer a blue cropped coat of a fitted style. In the fast pace of modern life, wearing such clothes is much more convenient, especially if during the day you have to move around the city a lot on public transport. Active business ladies will be as comfortable as possible in short products - they are easy to wear and do not require special care.
Blue knee length coat
For a strict business look, a fitted chesterfield, a straight coat-robe or a voluminous cocoon just above or below the knee are ideal. If a dress or skirt is to be worn under outerwear, its hem should only show a couple of centimeters.
Blue long coat
Luxurious maxi models in all shades of blue will add a feminine touch to your look – it’s impossible to go unnoticed in a bright blue down coat! Long, warm products are universal - they look equally impressive with skirts, dresses, classic trousers and skinny jeans and will perfectly warm you up on the coldest and dank days.
Scarf-plaid
Are fashion trends dictated to us by designers? Sometimes it seems that the main dictator is IKEA (not advertising, honest noble). It’s just that some trends clearly have decorative elements as their ancestors. At least a scarf-plaid should not be ashamed of its roots.
Home decor is sweeping the streets in 2021 - a warm, cozy, plaid scarf leaves no one indifferent.
White, blue, red color elements allow you to combine a scarf-plaid with jeans, leather, and classic fabrics.
Back, Burberry Prorsum, Eudon Choi insist that it is a sin not to have something in which, if desired, you can completely wrap yourself in your wardrobe!
It’s interesting that a blanket scarf can easily turn into a stole, poncho, or shawl.
We recommend purchasing a matching strap for this scarf, into which you can tuck the ends of a street blanket.
To summarize, the 11th commandment of a fashionista is a blanket on the sofa, a blanket around the neck.
Bright scarves
Bright scarves stand apart from all scarves. It’s difficult to define their model; it’s easier to name the concept – lightness, joy, positivity!
The format of such an accessory shapes the mood. Juicy, ripe shades will delight the eye throughout 2021.
Fringe or large loops, snood or pipe - does not matter when Mr. Tsvet comes into play.
The MSGM brand proved this on the catwalk. But in ordinary life, the evidence, as they say, is clear to see!
In a knitted version, bright colored scarves look especially cute. We say to all citrus tones, all pink and lilac colors: “Yes. Yes. Yes Yes Yes!"
It is important that the color option you choose is deep and pure. By the way, a cocktail that mixes blue and green is trendy this year.
