Fall is right around the corner and one accessory that will guide you comfortably from a warm day to a cool night is a scarf.

Not just for winter anymore, scarves made from linen and cotton are being worn with t-shirts, dresses and tank tops. Worn loosely, these lighter scarves are meant to be casual and are an easy accessory to toss in your purse to keep you warm and add a touch of color to any outfit.

Lindsay Lohan, Lauren Conrad, Nikki Hilton, Jessica Alba and Amanda Bynes are fans of Italian linen scarves by Love Quotes, $85. Sold online and at Lisa Kline, 10% of the proceeds of Love Quotes scarves are donated to international children’s charities. These are available in a wide variety of colors including beach, blue pearl, parfait, raspberry mousse and surf. An inspirational quote is included with each scarf.

If $85 is a little too pricey, Amici has some beautiful options (shown below) including a deep purple cotton print, $12, a sand brown cotton print scarf and a deep blue bobble trim scarf, $18.

ElleGirl has a great slide show on how to tie the scarf several different ways, including the slip knot, the reverse wrap-around, the cowboy collar and the bow tie.
