As the temperatures drop, it’s time to start thinking about how to stay warm in style. One of the most versatile and fashionable cold-weather accessories is the scarf. Scarves are a must-have for fall and winter, but there are other creative ways to style scarves year round. With so many styles and ways to wear them, it can be hard to know how to wear a scarf. We’ve put together nine stylish ways to wear a scarf, complete with tips on how to achieve them. So whatever your style, there’s a way to incorporate a scarf into your wardrobe!
The Classic Drape – Simple Scarf Style
For a classic look, try draping the scarf around your neck. This is the simplest way to wear one. The Classic Drape can be done with the ends hanging down evenly or one end longer than the other. Around your neck is the most common way to wear a scarf, and it’s perfect for adding a pop of color or pattern to your outfit.
The Loop – Cozy Scarf Style
Alternatively, you can loop the scarf around your neck. This creates a snugger fit that is ideal for colder days. For the Loop, drape the scarf around your neck with one side longer than the other. Loop the longer end around your neck and even out the ends. Voila!
The Toss – Casual Scarf Style
The casual style of the Toss works for those non-windy days. Similar to the Loop, drape the scarf around your neck with one side longer than the other and toss the longer end over your shoulder. Then throw in a hair flip for good measure.
The Pull Through – Cuddly Scarf Style
The Pull Through is another easy scarf style and works great with shorter scarves. Before draping the scarf around your neck, fold the scarf in half lengthwise. Take the hanging ends of the scarf on one side, thread it through the loop portion on the other side, and pull through. You are good to go.
The Double Loopy Knot – Intricate Scarf Style
The Double Loopy Knot or Bunny Ears is a bit more intricate but easy once you get the hang of it. To achieve this look, drape the scarf around your neck with one side significantly longer than the other. Loop the longer end around your neck twice and even out the ends (the double loopy part). Now, tie the ends in a simple knot (the knot part). Adjust and tuck the knot within the loop layers and situate the ends how you like and there it is…the Double Loopy Knot.
The Infinity – Endless Scarf Style
The Infinity is a scarf with no ends, a circle. You can purchase a scarf already like this or tie the ends together of an oblong scarf to make a circle. Hang the infinity scarf over your head (some stop here), and twist the hanging portion into a figure eight. Flip the newly created circle over your head.
Other creative options with infinity scarves include wearing as a tubetop, shoulder wrap, and vest. The options are endless.
The Shawl ~ The Cape ~ The Wrap – Chilly Scarf Style
This is a great way to add extra warmth on chilly days or create a dramatic look for evening wear. To wear a scarf as a shawl, simply drape it over your shoulders like a shawl. For a capelet effect, fold the scarf in half and drape it over your shoulders, letting the ends hang down in front. You can also try tying the ends together in a knot or bow for added interest. Whatever style you choose, wearing a scarf as a shawl, cape or wrap is a great way to stay warm and look chic all at once. There are many possibilities when it comes to wearing a scarf, so get creative and have fun!
So, go ahead mix it up and have some fun with it. With so many options, you’re sure to find a style that will work for you!
