Stoles have been popular with fashionistas for several seasons. This beautiful, feminine cape has taken its place in the women's wardrobe. Stoles can be worn both in the cold season and in warm weather. The main thing is to learn how to correctly combine the stole with other things and tie it beautifully.

How To Wear a Stole With a Coat

The coat is meant to be worn during the cold season. This means that to combine with a coat, you should choose stoles made of wool or other dense and warm fabric.

For a coat without a collar, many options have been invented for tying this accessory... Most often, the stole is straightened in the form of beautiful tiers, giving them an extension downward. In such a case, a pin or an inconspicuous brooch is used as a fixing element.

Stoles go well with coats of different styles. Stoles with fringes or tassels look very beautiful. Such an accessory is thrown over the shoulders and one end is thrown over the back over the shoulder.

For a coat in a classic cut, a cashmere stole is suitable. Usually, a stole is chosen that matches the color of the shoe or a color contrasting with it. But at the same time, stoles of bright shades must be sure harmonize in color with other accessories. For example, a tippet of bright colors will be perfectly combined with a black coat if its shade matches the shade of the handbag.

If you are wearing a coat made of thin fabric, then tie the accessory so that its main part is on the chest, and the ends are tied on the back. In this case, the color scheme of the stole and coat should be contrasting. In addition, other elements must be present in wardrobe in the same color as the selected accessory.

How to wear a stole on your head

There are some simple ways to wear this fashionable accessory beautifully on your head. Here are a few of them:

The easiest way is to tie a stole in a casual way. In this case, throw the accessory loosely over your head and throw its ends over your shoulders back.
The second method is called "Charleston". It is also very simple to perform. It is enough to throw a stole over your head and align its ends. Then you need to tightly wrap your head with a stole and tie the ends at the back of your head. Then the stole must be straightened, forming beautiful folds.

To tie a peasant-style stole, you first need to put your hair in a bun at the back of your head. Then wrap your head with one end of the stole so that the hair is completely closed. The second end of the stole must be rolled up with a tourniquet and wrapped around the head.
Another interesting way is to wrap the stole around your head twice, crossing its ends at the back of the head. When you form the topmost layer, twist the end of the stole into a rope and tuck the end of the fabric at the back of your head under the bottom.

The most successful decision when choosing a stole will be one in which the stole becomes the main accessory that collects the whole image into a single whole. This means that for a monochromatic outfit, the stole can be selected with a color pattern or also monophonic, but combined in color with the rest of the outfit. You should not choose an accessory made of fabric that does not match in any way with the fabric of the main outfit.
