They might seem like they're only for the sartorially advanced, but trust us: scarves are surprisingly easy to wear. They'll give any outfit a rakish boost, and come in an exhausting amount of fabrics and styles to nail whatever look you're going for.
Of course, you've got to know how to make 'em look good once you decide to wear one. There's a variety of knots to use, and they've all got a slightly different vibe, from coffee house to corner office. Study up, then choose whichever knot suits your look the best.
