4 Ways to Continue Looking Great and Keep Your Neck Warm

et us assume that you have taken full advantage of the scarf benefits and already have a few scarfs at home. Now the question turns to how exactly you are wearing that scarf. Hopefully not just half-hazardly draped around your neck. If you are no worries, I myself had the same attitude not long ago, this guide will help you find the right style for you.
There are four major ways to tie your scarf; the slip knot, the wraparound, the necktie, and the four in hand. They almost all look completely different, and some vary in difficulty. For instance, if you are in a hurry I would not suggested tying a four in hand knot.

The Slip Knot:
The Slip Knot is one of the simplest ways to tie and wear your scarf. Simply drape the scarf hanging around your neck with one end lower than the other. With the longer side of the scarf in hand pull it around the back of your neck and then back down through the loop you have created. Done! That's all it takes to tie a slip knot scarf.

Dressing for a Black Tie Event When You Are Over 40

If you are over forty and you are looking for an outfit for a formal event such as a black tie affair, it is important to follow the proper protocol for formal events. Most times, the event will take place during the late afternoon or evening. You will have a wide variety of fabrics to choose from as well as styles.

One customary thing, though, is that the dress has to be full length, an evening gown or an elegant cocktail dress. One of the main gaffes in dressing formally is that women try too hard to find the cutest dress and that may not work out very well. Don't forget that you want to be the person who stands out in the crowd and your dress is only there to offer support! If you don't know what to purchase, always go for simple. Choose styles that flatter your body when you are not sure. You cannot go wrong with a long evening dress, the right accessories, the right hairstyle and the right purse.

Choose something with a simple design and metallic finish to add elegance and an outfit that keeps up with the standards of formal wear. For women over forty, pay attention to how the sleeves and neckline are cut. Many formal gowns tend to be without sleeves and have plunging, but not really low cut necklines.
