How to wear an infinity scarf

Style 1

Let’s start with this basic infinity scarf look. Putting it around your neck is a simple way to wear it.

If you don't want it to look too wide and puffy, pull the infinity scarf to the front and give the sides a little twist. 

How to wear a silk scarf

Style 3

This is a silk scarf, but any lightweight scarf would work, too. The first way is to fold the scarf in half, put it around your neck and feed the ends through the loop, as shown. 

If you don’t like the ends being too long, simply take each end and wrap it around the main loop. 

Next, turn the scarf around so one end drapes on your back and the other in front. 

Style 4

The next style is similar to the first, except that you leave it a little looser and wrap both ends to the adjacent side of the loop. 

Wrap the ends twice, and this is how it ends up looking! So stylish and sleek. 

Style 5

Put the scarf around your neck and wrap each end around your neck, as shown. 

Pull the ends, so the scarf fits snugly around your neck. Then, tie the ends into a knot. This way, the ends aren’t too long. 

Style 6

Keeping with the above style, simply undo the knot and let the ends sit loosely on either side. This is so easy and looks great with a jacket, too. 

Style 7

Take the ends, tie them into a cute little bow, and place it to the side. This is surely one way of creating a bolder look. 

Style 8

You can also transform your scarf into a makeshift shawl if you’re cold. This is so feminine and definitely adds a delicate touch to your outfit. 

Style 9

You can also casually throw one end over the opposite shoulder if you want a more wrapped-up vibe.

Here’s the same style but with a different print. It’s so elegant and works well in an office setting.

Fold the scarf in half, so it’s a triangular shape, and wrap it around your neck. Tie the short ends at the back, and you have yourself a beautiful neckerchief look.
