Sachin Tendulkar makes a style statemt with his scarf, you can do it too

Off the field, Sachin Tendulkar is a relatively risk-averse dresser, but his recent scarf gamble at Rohit Sharma’s wedding has not gone unnoticed. It also led us to creating a handy guide for those experimenting with their wardrobe for the first time. Keep these key elements in mind.

-Choose the fabric of the scarf depending on the weather. If it is chilly outside, then opt for woollen and cashmere ones, else stick to cotton or lightweight linen.

-Know that the colour of the scarf can either make or break your entire look. Contrast is in, so a pop of colour on an otherwise pale palette ensemble or a neutral scarf teamed with a bright tee will help create a balance. When in doubt, stick to the classics in brown, beige, blue and black.

-Avoid scarves with tassles, fringes, pom-poms, sequins, add on bows, etc. They lend an effeminate edge to them.

-Decide on the drape. A scarf may look like just another fabric, but there are more than 10 ways to drape it. You can either throw it around the back of your neck or experiment with it a little. US President Barack Obama is often spotted wearing his scarf in the reverse drape — a practical style for cold weather. You tie the loose ends of the scarf around your back and button up the jacket over it. Twice around is another cold weather style where you take the longer end of the scarf and drape it around your neck twice for warmth. And just in case you’re wondering, Tendulkar is sporting the once around style.
