In this tutorial, I’m showing you how to wear a large silk scarf in three different ways.


All three styles have the same triangular base fold so you’ll easily remember them. The large silk scarf I’m styling today is a Russian silk shawl. Let’s style!

Tools and materials:

  • Large silk scarf
Cowl neck style

1. Cowl neck style


1. Wrap the silk scarf around your neck

Starting with the triangular base fold, wrap the long side of the silk scarf to the back of the neck

2. Cross the sides over each other

Cross each side to the opposite side and tighten it around your neck.
