Knowing how to wear the hottest scarf styles of 2010 is all about understanding the hottest trends of 2010. The hottest scarf styles of 2010 take cues from the tough, glamorous, and polished trends that were staples in 2010.

Hottest Scarf Styles: Rocker Chic

The rocker trend was huge in 2010. Studs, chains, and leather were accents on everything from shoes to blouses.  Scarves were no different. In addition to finding scarves accented with studs, grommets, or other hardware, you can evoke the rocker look by wearing the scarves a certain way.  Wrap the scarf around your head for one hot scarf style. This works especially well if you have a textured hairstyle.

Hottest Scarf Styles: Polished and Pretty

Of course, one of the biggest trends of 2010 was the return of the lady. Lace, bows, and structured silhouettes defined this trend. Scarf styles that fall in line with this trend are all about polish and luxury. Think materials like silk or linen in classic patterns or rich solid colors. When it comes to wearing a scarf that follows the ladylike trend, it’s best to wrap it around your neck in a traditional way – this accessory is about being the finishing touch of an outfit. It helps add a little bit of polish and personality.

Hottest Scarf Styles: Glitz and Glamour

As a contrast to the ladylike trend, the starlet trend of 2010 grabbed a little attention with sequins,  stones, and metallic shine. If this is the style you like, look for scarves with some shiny detail, like sequins or metallic thread. Wear around your neck with a more neutral outfit, or wrap around your head like a headband to give yourself a trendier look.

Hottest Scarf Styles: Comfy and Cozy

In the cold months of 2010, the hottest scarf style was the joined scarf. This is a warm, fuzzy scarf whose ends are sewn together. This is still a popular style. Not only does a joined scarf keep you warm and cozy, but you don’t have to worry about tying and untying it every time you go inside or outside. Just quickly slip the scarf on or off, and you’re ready to face the cold.

The hottest scarf styles of 2010 took their cues from the hottest trends. Scarves with hints of rock’n roll, polish, glamour, and warmth all had found their places around heads and necks in 2010.
