Opt for fine wovens
Maria has left a new comment on your post "13 Ways to Wear a Pashmina or Long Rectangular Sca...":I LOVE scarves and know dozens of ways to tie them, but I believe they're a little too much for my petite frame. Is there any way to wear one without looking neckless, bulky, and even shorter than normal?
Chunky scarves overwhelm petite figures
Thanks Maria for this question. So how not to be overwhelmed by your scarf? It's all about applying the rules of scale. Make sure that your scarf is not too big or bulky or long as this will make it look too large for your small frame.
A lightweight rather than heavy weight scarf
Opt for scarves that are lighter in fabrication (rather than heavy or bulky knits, fine knits and wovens, or chiffons and light summer weight fabrics).
Be careful of the length, long tails will draw the eye down
Also make sure that scarves are not too long on your body, otherwise they'll drag the eye downwards and you'll look shorter, so loop them around a couple of times if they're on the longer side.
If you don't want to look shorten your neck, try looping loosely rather than tightly round your neck, or even knotting your scarf lower.
