Scarves are a timeless accessory that can elevate any outfit, but sometimes it can be tricky to find new ways to wear them.
Whether you’re looking to add a chic touch to your dress or want a cozy layer over your favorite fall tunic, mastering different scarf-tying techniques is key.
In this video tutorial, you’ll discover 10 stylish and creative ways to tie a scarf that will transform your look.
From simple knots that highlight the fringe to intricate braids with a pendant effect, these methods will help you make the most out of your scarves, adding versatility and flair to any outfit.
Let’s dive into the fun and fashionable world of scarf styling!
Scarf with Fringe Showcase
- Start by folding the scarf in half twice to create a rectangle.
- Twirl one edge and place the scarf behind your neck.
- Knot it up, showcasing the fringe. This method is a great way to highlight the scarf’s fringe and change the neckline of a tunic or dress. It offers an elegant touch, especially for dresses with simple necklines.
Spray Look with Knot
- Fold the scarf diagonally a few times to create a neat line.
- Drape the scarf against your chest and tie the ends together with a double knot.
- Pull the scarf away from the neck to create a “spray” effect, spreading the scarf wider over the chest. Adding a delicate bracelet can enhance the look by threading the scarf through it and braiding the ends for a pendant-like appearance.
Capelet Style
- Create a capelet by partially folding the scarf and draping it over your shoulders.
- Tie the scarf tightly at the shoulder line to fit your proportions. This method acts like a third piece (a layering piece over your main outfit), offering a refined and slightly formal appearance.
Sliding Knot and Pretzel Look
- Return to the diagonal fold and create a sliding knot on one side of the scarf.
- Thread the other end of the scarf through the knot and adjust the placement (either above or below the bust) based on your body shape.
- To make a shrug, double-knot the scarf edges to form sleeves or armholes. Fold the neckline neatly to frame your face and highlight the scarf’s print.
- For the pretzel look, drape the scarf around the neck, crossing one end over and under, much like tying a pretzel. This technique can replace a necklace and looks great with a coat.
Scrunch Knot and Ethereal Style
- Start by folding the scarf diagonally, wrapping it softly around the neckline.
- Create a knot and then scrunch the fabric, forming a soft, textured effect around the neck. This style is described as ethereal, adding a gentle, feminine touch.
- Finally, the easiest technique involves folding the scarf in half and draping it around the neck for a simple, elegant look. The video ends by encouraging viewers to have fun with their scarves and shop online for more styles.
