Putting on a scarf is simple, but the style depends on the scarf type and desired look. Here's a basic method and some variations inspired by online resources:
Basic Scarf Drape
-
Drape: Hold the scarf loosely and drape it around your neck. Let one end hang longer than the other. The YouTube video "10 Ways To Tie A Scarf" demonstrates similar techniques.
-
Adjust: Adjust the length and position of the scarf to your preference. The longer end can be left loose, or used for tying a knot or bow. InStyle magazine suggests an uneven drape (https://www.instyle.com/how-to-tie-a-scarf-5380556).
-
Optional Knot/Tie: Many tutorials, including the YouTube video "20 ways to wear a scarf + how-to tips," show various knots and ties for added style and warmth. A simple knot is easily achieved by tying the two ends together. Another YouTube video, "10 Ways To Tie A Scarf," provides additional knotting ideas.
Variations:
-
Double Fold: Fold the scarf in half lengthwise before draping, as shown in the "10 Ways To Tie A Scarf" video snippet. This creates a thicker, warmer drape.
-
Loose Loop: Drape the scarf around your neck and loop one end over the other, creating a simple, casual style.
-
Twice Around: Wrap the scarf around your neck twice before adjusting. This works well with longer, thinner scarves. This is shown in a step of the InStyle article (https://www.instyle.com/how-to-tie-a-scarf-5380556).
-
Knotted: Tie a simple knot at the front or side of the scarf once draped for a more secure and stylish look, referencing "How to Tie a Scarf 19 Ways (With Video Tutorials)".
Tips for Choosing a Style:
Consider the fabric, length, and width of your scarf when selecting a style. Experiment to find what works best for your outfit and personal style. Many tutorials, such as the "How to style a scarf for winter❄️" YouTube video, provide visual examples of different styling methods.
