A scarf is one of the most popular women's accessories, which is appropriate in both romantic and business styles. So that you can easily combine it with any clothing, let’s figure out how to wear a neckerchief correctly.

How to wear a scarf on your head?

  • As a ribbon in hair. You can use a thin scarf in various weaving options, including the classic French braid.

  • In the form of a decoration for a high bun, as in the photo. In this option, you can simply tie a scarf around the bun or completely hide your hair under a scarf.

  • As a headband for loose or gathered hair. For this option, thin scarves of short length are suitable for you.

  • In the form of a classic hair scarf. In this case, you will need to collect your hair, cover it at the back with a scarf and tie it above the bang line. You need to insert the free edge of the scarf under the knot. If it does not hold well (which often happens with silk scarves), simply pin it with bobby pins.

Tip: to prevent your look from looking monotonous, you can tie the scarf in a new way every day, making a rose from its ends, or tucking the curls behind the scarf if you wear it as a hoop. Don't be afraid to experiment, these types of looks are very popular now.

How to wear a scarf around your neck - classic options

A neckerchief can be tied in a variety of ways, depending on its size. So if you have a small square scarf, the easiest way is to fold it in half diagonally and tie it in the form of a scarf. The edges can be hidden under a scarf, or you can make a beautiful small knot for such a scarf on the side.

You can also fold a square scarf into an accordion, carefully straightening its folds, wrap it around your neck and tie the ends into a loose knot. Don’t forget to straighten the edges of the scarf after this, otherwise it will simply look sloppy.

But if you are dealing with a thin, narrow accessory, such a scarf will be easiest to tie like a regular men's tie. If you want him to look elegant at the same time, complement your look with a large brooch. This option is suitable not only for an everyday look, but also for various special occasions in the office or a festive autumn or winter outfit.

Step by step tying a scarf:

How should you wear a scarf with a coat?

Both a thin silk scarf and a stole. You can tie it in different ways:

  • Lay out the scarf in beautiful folds, wrapping it around your neck. In this case, it is advisable to hide the ends of the scarf under the collar of your coat. In this way, it is better to tie a large scarf that matches the color scheme of your outerwear.

  • Wrap the stole around your neck several times. You can leave the ends hanging or hide them under the collar of your coat, in which case your look will look more neat.

  • Fold the scarf into a braid, wrap the ends around your neck and hide them under the edge of your coat. Thus, it is better to wear bright accessories that contrast with the color of your outerwear. Please note: you can also tie a Pavloposad scarf this way.

  • Raise the collar of the coat and tie a stole underneath, carefully placing its folds on the chest and also on the shoulders. If you have wide hips and narrow shoulders, you can tie a wide, bright scarf in this way - it will make your breasts visually larger.

You can also wear a stole with a raincoat or jacket as a hood. In this case, it is recommended to wrap the loose ends of the stole around the neck. Please note that a scarf tied in this way will stay better on a high hairstyle, rather than on loose hair.

What to wear with a scarf in summer - fashionable options

In the warm season, you absolutely do not need to give up a scarf as a stylish accessory; you just need to figure out how to properly wear a neckerchief with light dresses or blouses, especially since silk scarves and headscarves are again relevant this season. In summer you can wear them in different ways:

  • On the head as a bandage. This season, a silk scarf can be worn as a headband, or you can tie it around a high bun on your head. In this case, you will get a great pin-up look.

  • Around the neck, tying a large bow at the side. This is the best option for organza or chiffon scarves, as they can hold their shape well. This option is recommended in the summer by many fashion houses, including Gucci.

  • As a makeshift necklace. This option is good for thin scarves. You will need to wrap this scarf around your neck several times and hide its loose ends.

A neckerchief can either match the color scheme of a dress or blouse or contrast with them. However, in most cases, the brighter your scarf is, the better your summer look will be with it.

How to tie a neckerchief beautifully?

Found in almost every woman's wardrobe. But not every one of them can correctly apply this decoration. For a long time, there have been a wide variety of options for tying scarves, which helps any woman to easily emphasize her femininity and extravagance.

Scarf as a fashion accessory: an independent element

According to stylists, every modern woman should have a fashionable scarf or scarf. In recent years, this accessory has been considered an indispensable attribute of both women's and men's style. Along with this, it is not just part of a stylish image, but also acts as an independent element.


The ability to tie a scarf is also important, since it is this ability that will give the image that very piquancy, thanks to which it will be stylish and elegant.
In the selection process, it is recommended to focus less on the shape; the most important thing here is the color and texture of the product.

Scarf as a fashion accessory: choosing a size

As for the size of the scarf, long scarves that can be tied in a couple of knots and wrapped around the neck are becoming increasingly popular. This scarf option is suitable for women who prefer a “casual” style.


For the summer period, to add lightness to the style, fabrics such as chiffon, silk, satin are suitable, and for winter - cashmere and wool.


As for the color of the scarf, the most universal are lilac, red, soft pink, and pastel colors. For short girls, an untied long scarf will help add height.

Scarf as a fashion accessory: choice of color

Fashionistas who have scarves and scarves with bright and colorful colors can wear them with plain outfits. This kind of look will look very fashionable and stylish.

If rumors are to be believed, scarves don’t suit almost anyone. At least to me
I have not yet met a single girl who claims that she likes them. But the first phrase when it comes to scarves is “I really like it on you, on Masha, on Lena, but no, no!” In them I look like a bright representative of the collective farm “Shining Path”.

This has nothing to do with reality. Scarves suit almost everyone. Conversations about what exactly you have tried many times, turned them this way and that, but you still don’t like the result, can hardly be considered objective.

I'll explain why.

To begin with, scarves are not a self-sufficient thing. If you just try them on in a store, without makeup and a more or less suitable outfit, then the impression will really not be the most pleasant. Try trying on a scarf at home once, after doing a full make-up. I assure you that the result will already impress you. A scarf, as you might guess, automatically draws attention to the face. All irregularities, pimples and other delights will be visible, which is why proper makeup is needed. If there are no problems with your skin, then bright lips are enough. In any case, makeup is necessary.

The next step is to figure out how best to tie it for you. By inertia, girls usually approach this matter this way: they take a scarf, tie it under their chin in a knot, and say that it “doesn’t suit them.” But this suits few people at all. There are a huge number of ways to tie it, look at the instructions on Google, there are a million links and pictures there. The main thing is to try different options.

The most common mistake is to pull the scarf close to the hairline. It is best to place the edge of the scarf in the middle between the crown and forehead. But in any case, you need to try in different ways, here every centimeter plays a role. Like that:

Next, you need to understand which side the tails of the scarf should be on. Should I wrap them around my neck or just leave them hanging? There is no universal recipe; each appearance has its own version. It is better for dark-skinned and dark-haired girls to leave them hanging if there is no purpose to show religion. For blondes this is not important.

For example, let’s take Lena Perminova, and imagine that she would pull the scarf closer to her forehead and tie it under her chin - all the gloss would be “licked off with her tongue,” because Lena has large facial features, and if you add the tails from the scarf to them , then she would have turned out to be quite a peasant girl.

The classics will look lonely.

For those with bangs.

There is nothing worse than bangs sticking out strangely from under a scarf. There are interesting stylizations in the spirit of the USSR of the 60s, but this is rare. More often we can see something like this.

If your bangs are curly, try to style them like Kim Kardashian.

Hair length is also of great importance. The longer, the more interesting you can use scarves. I really like this “bandage” method:

A few ideas for a bob. And it doesn't matter what shape your face is. When making makeup, you should pay special attention to your cheekbones and highlight them.

The color of the scarf must match the color of the clothing so as not to look foreign. A color accent from it is not the best idea. Also, the entire image should be built around the scarf, supporting it in every possible way. So that it doesn’t turn out like Christina Aguilera:

The fashion world is quite unstable; every day designers have new thoughts, interesting ideas and original ideas. Catwalks give us surprises, including a return to the past. Out-of-fashion slip dresses, platforms, and overalls are again being bought up by fashionistas with incredible enthusiasm. And this applies not only to clothes, but also to accessories, one of which is twilly.

This is a narrow silk ribbon that you could see in photographs and lookbooks back in 1960. The convenience of this accessory is that it is multifunctional. But even with such a variety of ways to wear it, many still wonder what to combine it with and how to wear it.

And the answer is absolutely simple: the use of twilly is limited only by your own imagination. So, let's look at seven of the most popular and simple ideas.

Popular

The bow tie

The best replacement for a scarf is twilly. With this accessory you can realize those ideas that are difficult to implement with a regular scarf. Try tying it like a bow tie. This detail is suitable for every day looks. Yes, and it looks unusual.


Choker

Of course, there is no longer such a massive craze for chokers as there was in the 1990s, but for lovers of this accessory there is an interesting alternative - twillies. Simply tie it around your neck and release the ends or tie them into a tight knot.


Tie

Women take almost everything from men's fashion: formal trousers, jackets, boots, shirts with cufflinks - these wardrobe items have gained popularity in women's clothing. Therefore, an accessory such as a tie will definitely fit into both an evening outfit, which will add sexiness to your look, and a business look - and will go perfectly with a white shirt.



Hair ribbon

One of the most popular ways is to secure the ribbon in your hair. You can make a ponytail, a voluminous bun and beautifully tie a silk ribbon on top. Don't forget that Russian motifs are currently at the peak of popularity, so weaving twilly into your braid will be the ideal solution when creating a romantic look for a date.



Belt

Stylish accessories will make even the simplest look original. Straps and belts occupy one of the first places among them. Twilly can help in this case too: take two ribbons, fasten them together into a beautiful knot and tie it up with a long white blouse or highlight your waist in a shirt dress.

A little life hack! If you knit 2 twillies, you will have many more options for styling your look. This option is ideal for plus-size girls.



Bracelet/Twilly watch

This year's trend is the bracelet/twilly watch. You can tie a silk ribbon on your wrist as an original bracelet that will suit a business style set, an evening or casual outfit. You can also attach a dial to the twilly, and then you will have a stylish accessory on your hand that will definitely attract the attention of others.


Choker/necklace

A little black dress will add elegance to the look even when alone, but a stylish and moderately bright accessory will set the necessary accents. By tying a twillie around your neck, you will create a kind of silk necklace that you can wear not only on special occasions, but also in everyday life.

1. On the neck

Let's start with the banal: naturally, a silk scarf is worn around the neck. But how to tie it is an individual question.

There are about 20 ways to tie a scarf around your neck. To master at least a few stylish options, watch the training video:

The main thing is practice. Train and experiment!

2. Instead of a belt

Another very popular fashion idea for using a colorful silk scarf is to use it as a belt. Roll the scarf into a rope, thread it through the loops (belt loops) and tie the ends into a neat knot. Ready!

A silk scarf can become your favorite fashion accessory, you just need to find the right use for it. So, where and how to tie a beautiful scarf to complement your look?

There are a lot of ways to wrap your hair in a scarf in a cool way: look for the options that seem the simplest or the most unusual to you and try it!

4. On the bag

Before going out for a walk, decorate a black or beige bag with a multi-colored scarf - and the accessory will sparkle with new colors! A scarf can match your outfit or, conversely, be the only bright accent in your look.

5. Drape it over your shoulders

Fold the scarf diagonally in several layers and drape it over your shoulders. That's all - a simple outfit automatically becomes an original look with a twist.

6. Tuck under the belt

A rather unusual and interesting way to wear a scarf (and not necessarily a silk one) is to wrap it around your neck and tuck the long ends under a thin belt. The only condition is that the scarf must be large enough so that its edges are below your waist level.

7. Like a wide belt

With a slight movement of the hand we turn a simple scarf into a “samurai belt”. Take a scarf and wrap it around your waist, and carefully hide the ends under the belt itself. By the way, such an original accessory will highlight!

8. Like a bracelet on your hand

How about making a voluminous bracelet out of a scarf? Plus, silk on the wrist is so elegant!

9. Like an ankle bracelet

However, the bracelet can be worn not only on the hand, but also on the foot. We tie a scarf around our graceful ankle and step towards a new day. Particularly impressive - over dark thick matte tights.

10. Instead of a necklace

Some needlewomen manage to turn an ordinary scarf into a necklace. Practice with knots and you will get a unique handmade decoration.

11. Like a beach top

Don't know what to wear on a hot day? Wear a scarf! Yes, yes, we are absolutely serious. A large silk scarf can easily replace a stylish top. Tie two corners of the scarf behind your neck and the other two behind your back at waist level. Cool, now you have an exclusive designer loose-fitting top!

12. Braid

You can buy a similar scarf in the store

And again we return to hairstyles: a beautiful scarf can always be woven into braids! Easy to make and looks great. A great option for a fun party.

13. Instead of a hair tie

Yes, a scarf can serve as a hair tie. In fact, not exactly an elastic band, but rather a decoration that will hide this elastic band. Make a neat bun, secure it in the usual way, and tie a bright scarf on top in the form of a large bow. Beauty!

14. Like a scarf

We repeat after the delightful Miroslava Duma and put on a silk scarf like a regular scarf. And yes, now you can consider yourself a fashionista in the style of a la Russe.
