How to Style a Winter Scarf in 8 Different Ways
It’s freezing outside, so it’s time for you to master the skill of winter scarf styling.
I’ll show you how to style a winter scarf in eight different ways! Let’s jump right into it.
Tools and materials:
- Long scarf
1. Basic knot
This style is the most basic way to get the full length of your scarf.
Take the end on the bottom and tie it in a knot in the front.
Tighten the knot and thicken the front. This style looks great with long coats.
2. The necktie
This style is a bit like a necktie.
Place the scarf around your neck and make one side longer than the other.
Wrap the longer side behind and around the shorter one.
Pull the long end through the neck hole from underneath.
Feed the long end back down through the loop you created with the first wraparound. This one is cute, but it’s not too warm.
3. Basic fold
For something warmer, try out this style.
Fold the scarf in half over your arm.
Wrap the scarf around your neck from behind, and pull the tail through the loop around your arm.
This style is both cute and chunky, but it makes the scarf much shorter.
4. Basic wrap-around
This is one of the most common ways to wrap a scarf.
Place the scarf around your neck and make one side longer than the other.
Wrap the long end around your neck.
This style keeps your neck warm and the length long for outfits, but the ends can flail around in the wind, making it a bit impractical for windy days.
5. Wrap around with knot
This style is a direct improvement of the previous look.
Tie the ends in a knot to give it a shorter, chunkier look. This look is very warm and you don’t have to worry about flappy ends.
6. Criss-cross
Here’s another improvement on the basic wrap-around.
Loosen the loop around your neck, and pull one of the pieces up through the loop.
Don’t pull it all the way through.
Push your hand through the small loop you just pulled up, and grab the other end above the neck loop.
Pull that end through the small loop.
This is my favorite way to wear a scarf, and it’s very warm.
7. Faux infinity
This style looks great with cropped jackets.
Again, starting from the basic wrap-around base, loosely wrap the ends around the neck hole toward the back of the neck.
Make sure to tuck in the ends.
8. The hood
This style is for the coldest winter days.
Place the scarf over the top of your head like a hood with one of the ends longer than the other.
Wrap the long end around the back of your head and bring it back to the front.
Tie the ends in a knot. Having the extra layer over your ears and head makes a huge difference.
