Trend on Campus: Scarves

Kean University is a very fashionable school. Everywhere you look on campus, whether it is down Cougar Walk, in the STEM building, or at the Cougar's Den in the University Center, you'll notice something. Look around at almost every girl, maybe occasionally some fashionable guys too, and you'll see it around their neck. It's the SCARF. Yes, this trend is all round campus during this cold fall season and is sure to last into winter.

“It's the thing right now,” says sophomore Adrienne Middleton. Toma Korgee, senior, agrees, “Big scarves are the must accessory. I love scarves.”

The great thing about scarves is that they are an accessory that is cheap, versatile and reusable. They can make a plain outfit become dressy with just that one addition. It's like the recipe to become an instantly fashionable person. Want to be fashionable? Just add a scarf!

Scarves come in many different materials, sizes, colors, patterns and more! If you want to you can use a scarf as a wrap for your shoulders, a belt for your waist, or a hair accessory. It's a must buy because it saves you money and they are useful in so many ways.

Even if you don't use your scarf for fashion, but for the purpose of keeping you warm, it's okay. Sophomore Kristina Sosa likes to use her scarf for both purposes. She says she loves fashion, as you can tell by her picture above along with Middleton. “I like that scarves are very comfy and keep you warm when you're cold,"  Sosa says. "I use them for their purpose and not just for fashion.”

Whether you use your scarf to keep you warm, to be fashionable, or just because, it's a trend that is seen everywhere around campus. It's cute, comfy and useful. One trend that is unique, but adorable is the wearing the scarf in addition to a hoodie. It keeps the outfit cozy, but it adds that extra pop that takes an outfit from “eh” to “that's so chic! 

Here is a quick video that can show you really cool ways to wear your scarves!

Until next time! XOXOXO
