The Rule of Thirds: How to Style a Scarf Like a Stylist
Sometimes the smallest styling change can completely change an outfit. A different shoe, a new colour combination, or simply moving your scarf slightly off-centre.
One styling trick we love is the Rule of Thirds. It is a simple way to create more interesting proportions in your outfit, and a scarf is one of the easiest accessories to use it with.
Whether you are styling a small NOTSHY scarf or a printed Lescarf, here is how to make this simple fashion rule work for you.
What Is the Rule of Thirds in Fashion?
The Rule of Thirds means dividing your outfit into uneven sections rather than creating a 50/50 split. Think roughly one-third and two-thirds.
For example, instead of having your scarf sit perfectly in the centre of your outfit, try an off-centre knot or leave one side longer than the other. These small changes create more visual movement and can make an outfit feel more balanced.
It is not about following a strict rule. It is simply a styling trick to experiment with.
How to Style a Small NOTSHY Cashmere Scarf
The NOTSHY cashmere scarves at Gunnel's Fashion Marbella are smaller in size, making them perfect for refined everyday styling. Crafted from 100% cashmere, they combine a soft, luxurious feel with the brand's rebellious chic attitude.
Wear one close to your neck with the knot slightly to the side, or try the cowboy knot by folding the scarf into a triangle and tying it loosely at the front for a relaxed, rebellious finish. Pair it with a simple shirt, blazer, knit or jacket and let the scarf become the detail that completes your look.
You can also:
- Tie it around a ponytail or bun
- Wrap it around your handbag handle
- Fold it into a narrow band around your neck
- Match the scarf colour with another piece in your outfit
Because of their smaller size, NOTSHY scarves are comfortable to wear all day without adding extra volume.
How to Style a Lescarf
With Lescarf, you can play more with proportion. Inspired by Scandinavian design and classic Parisian elegance, the collection includes both 100% silk scarves and 100% cashmere scarves.
Wear your Lescarf loosely around your neck with one side longer than the other. With a blazer or coat, drape it over your shoulders instead of tying it tightly.
You can also style it around your handbag, wear it in your hair, or use it as the finishing touch to a simple dress.
Add Colour with Essentiel Antwerp Silk Scarves
If you love playful styling, Essentiel Antwerp scarves are an easy way to bring personality into your wardrobe. Made from 100% silk, they are known for vibrant colours, eye-catching prints and a fun approach to fashion.
Tie one around your neck, wear it in your hair, or knot it onto your handbag for an instant pop of colour without changing your entire outfit.
The Secret Is in the Details
The best thing about the Rule of Thirds is that you do not need a new wardrobe to make it work.
Pair your favourite jeans and knit with a blazer and a small NOTSHY cashmere scarf. Or style a simple dress with a colourful Essentiel Antwerp silk scarf or an elegant Lescarf with one end left longer than the other.
The outfit stays almost the same, but the proportions change.
That is why designer scarves are such a useful accessory. They add colour, print and texture while giving familiar outfits a fresh feel.
