The Aviator Scarf: How to Accessorize

We can all agree that there is something quite classy and yet modern about the aviator scarf. Perhaps it is because of its unique cream color, silky material, or detailed tassels – but all aviator scarves remind us not just of carefree pilots but also ruggedness and sophistication all at the same time.

Unlike other scarves, the aviator scarf has a very standard and single look. It is usually white, can be made of a specific fabric, and may or may not have tassels. They are also usually purchased at the same lengths. With this singularity, you might think of it as a very limited scarf, at least in terms of fashion. After all, just how much creatively can you wear the same white scarf over and over again? The truth is a lot farther from this than you may think. The truth is that fashion is subjective. Wearing a nice looking aviator scarf or other garment will not guarantee that you will look good instantly. It will also depend on how you wear it, as well as what you wear it with. How do you accessorize your entire ensemble with an aviator scarf? Here are just some of the ways.

Leather, and Lots of It:

The cream or white color of aviator scarves makes them easier to match with a variety of different looks, rather than limit them. Leather especially looks good with the aviator scarf, because they both evoke feelings of the rugged outdoors and therefore complement each other. To give homage to the pilots of the 1920s and 1930s, you can wear the scarf with brown or caramel-colored leather jackets and khaki pants. This creates a classy look because flying in itself was considered a rich man’s sport in the 1920s, and is still the same today. Brown hues and cream also go well together since they belong to the same color family.

If you do not have brown jackets, you can also wear the scarf with a black leather jacket. Aviator scarves in this sense are not only reminiscent of plane pilots but also spunky motorcycle drivers. Add the finishing touches of this look with dark denim jeans and even leather boots. This is well-suited for both men and women.

Bright Colors:

What if you’d rather veer away from classic and vintage looks, and want a more current appearance? For this purpose, you can wear brightly colored tops along with the scarf. Because of their light colors, aviator scarves can be matched with practically any color under the sun. Just be careful and do not overdo it – do not wear too many colors all at the same time. One color will be sufficient, or two at the maximum. You can also inject other colors into your outfit through your earrings, shoes, belt or even bag.

Thick or Thin:

The way you tie aviator scarves can also be different. You can create an effect of a thick and snug-looking scarf by bunching your scarf and making large knots to increase its thickness.

This style works much like a cravat, but is less formal and can be worn for the outdoors. You can create a more carefree appearance, meanwhile, by tying your scarf or only draping it, so that its ends hang freely and follow the wind.

Gold:

Women of the early 20th century wore white scarves matched with gold jewelry, creating an air of authority and sophistication. You can wear dangling gold earrings, for example, together with your scarf.

You can also wear gold necklaces, provided that you position them carefully enough together with the scarf. Some wearers tie their necklaces on purposely so that they are on the scarf and thus highly visible.
