Pairing Glasses with Headscarves


This is your opportunity for instant celebrity glamour. You can really intensify the style of your ensemble with this key accessory, be it sunglasses, prescription glasses--or just non-prescription glasses for the added sophistication. Tying the headscarf over your ears helps keep it in place more securely, but can put pressure on your head if tied too snugly. For more comfort, tie the scarf behind your ears, so they're not pushing the frames into your skin, and wear a stocking cap or velvet headband underneath everything to prevent slipping.

1. Channel Jackie O vacationing on the Italian isle of Capri by pairing round sunglasses with a scarf that drapes down your back. It's a perfect combination for staying protected and cool while relaxing on the beach.

2. Cat-eye shades look great with a triangular scarf tied Old Hollywood-style, a la Audrey Hepburn. Great for a downtown shopping trip with friends.

3. Try wearing aviators on your next flight with an updo scarf style, like the Royal Wrap or Double Wrap; you'll feel like an undercover movie star while camouflaging jet-lagged eyes.
