Last week, I wrote about Amy Winehouse and how she wears the scarf as a headband. Here are other ways you can wear it on your head, as seen on these hot celebrities:

As a headband with a pony or with your hair down; Let the ends hang loose along with your hair.

For this you will need a longer but thinner (narrower, about 6 to 12 inches) scarf.

Blake Lively as Serena Van Der Woodsen

Lacey Chabert

As a good ol’ bandanna tied around and over the head and forehead. If you want the ends to hang loose, get a long scarf. Otherwise, you can stick with the square bandanna scarf.

Nicole Richie

Beyonce Knowles

As a scarf bun as seen on JLo. Simply put the scarf over your head, twist it along with your hair (like you’re creating a bun), than tuck the ends under.

For this one, use a wider scarf (about 18 inches wide) with some stretch in it.

Jennifer Lopez

Lucille Ball style. This one is very similar to the way Amy Winehouse wore it, except that the scarf is not twisted and the hair is up.

Kylie Minogue

For long scarves, you can try these:

So how much does Jessica Alba love wearing the scarf? How about if I just let the photos below tell you?

Get the picture? Actually there’s more, but then it would be too much to post all of them.

Jessica simply loves wearing the scarf, whether its winter or spring. And she sure knows what type of scarf to use to keep herself fashionable.

The last one is the latest photo taken of her. It was captured this month, while she and Honor were lunching together.

As you can see, Jessica wore a thin and light scarf  that was very appropriate for the spring weather.

Let’s learn from Jessica, shall we? A scarf is not just an accessory used for keeping warm. It is an accessory that can be used to complete an outfit or achieve a certain look. Besides, wearing a scarf will always make you look elegant.

However, it is important to make sure you wear the right scarf for the right weather and occasion.

Here are some cool and lightweight scarves that would be most appropriate for spring:
