Find a scarf that contrasts with the color of your peacoat. Try a brightly colored or white scarf with a black peacoat. Contrasting colors prevent you from looking dreary or washed out.

Fold the scarf in half width wise so that the two short ends meet. Your scarf is now half as long as it was before you folded it. One end is "closed," or folded, and the other end -- the end where the two short ends meet -- is "open," or unfolded.
