Scarves are a must have for every Season - they're inexpensive, available in a wide variety of styles, colors and patterns,and they'll fit no matter how many Pumpkin Spice Lattes you throw back. Oh, and all the celebrities are wearing them (not thatwe care about that, though, right?). Scarves are the ultimate day to night accessory! From wrapping up a bad hair day toadding a little flair to your simple jeans and tank, to elegantly using as a wrap with a cocktail dress, scarves provide an array ofsass-it-up options.

You've picked out a scarf (from PurseLove of course!) that's just the right color scheme for your winter skin, just the right printfor your wardrobe, just the right weight for your climate. Now what? Are you standing in front of the mirror in various self-inflicted headlocks as you attempt to tie it around your neck just right? Worry not!

5 Basic Scarf Tying Techniques1. The No-Tie Tie. You can't get any easier than this: Just drape it around your neck, and viola! When to do it: When you'rewearing a necklace, when you want to break up a mono-chromoatic outfit with a long splash of color, or add a solidcolored scarf to a patterned top.

2. The Simple Knot Tie. It's so easy you haven't even thought about it yet. Just drape it around your neck and tie it in abasic knot - like the first step of tying a bow - that hits just above your bra cups. Rearrange the tails a little so that theyfall one in front of the other (as opposed to side-by-side), cleverly hiding the simplicity of the knot. When to do it: To spiceup a yoga pants & t-shirt ensemble, with a v-neck tee.

3. The Backwards Wrap Tie. Drape your scarf backwards around your neck, so that the center is flush against your throat and thetails fall down your back. Take the tail falling over your right shoulder blade and bring it across your back and over your left shoulderso it falls down the left side of your chest, and repeat with the opposite side. Keep it wrapped tightly for a polished look, or slouch itdown a bit for a more relaxed vibe – letting it frame a gorgeous necklace or choker. When to do it: Instead of a statement necklaceif it is up against your neck, or to cover up a spit-up stain on your shoulder.

4. The Backwards Wrap + Knot Tie. Complete look # 3, then add look # 2. Presto Scarf-o! When to do it: Under a buttoned up blazerwith the tails hanging out past the hem, when your scarf is super long.

5. Button-Hole Tie. Fold your scarf in half (making it half as long) and drape it around your neck so that you have both tails hangingover one shoulder and the folded center over the other. Open up the folded center a bit to create a button-hole, and thread the thetails through the hole. When to do it: With big earrings, with your hair up, when it's freezing outside.
