Clara and I wear scarves a lot, she wears them for slightly different reasons than I do but in the end we are both scarf obsessed and it is odd to see either of us not wearing a scarf at least once in a week so I figured why not share all the wonderful ways we like wearing our scarves with you.
What do you need to follow these tutorials?
- Square scarf preferably a smooth fabric such as silk, satin or very fine cotton.
- Normal scarf pashminas work wonderfully
- Superlong scarf
PinUp Hair scarf:
I love the pinup scarf look, it is a great way for me to get my curly bob under control when the weather is rainy and my hair just won't listen to anything that I say or want. I use a silk scarf because it helps smooth my hair and doesn't dry my hair the way cotton would.
Steps:
- Fold scarf in half then fold till it makes a funny sort of rectangle.
- Have the broadest part of the fabric at the back of your head, the ends facing forward.
- Tie into a knot
- Either tuck the ends back into the scarf or tie a bow if your scarf is long enough.
The Bow
Is there anything that makes one feel more like mini Mouse than a bow?
- Using your normal scarf, drape it around your neck with the ends hanging in front of you.
- Knot loosely more or less where you want the bow to end up (This takes practise to get the distance right).
- Carefully tie it into a bow, wither by knotting to loops together or by doing the bunny in a burrow method.
Too infinity:
Sometimes your favourite scarf really just needs to be infinite for a little while.
Steps:
- Tie the end of your scarf, again pashmina or shorter length works well.
- Knot the one end to the other end, either both ends directly to each other or just a corner of each end, this is personal taste.
- Be bold and wrap this around your neck a few times.
My Favourite:
Whether the weather is wintery or summery this is my usual go too, the perfect casual but oh so smart way to a scarf.
Steps:
- Fold the scarf (Longer the better the drape of the fall) in half.
- Loop the half around your neck so the loop is on one side and the ends on the other side.
- Push the ends through the loop and pull tight.
The Summer Sunner:
Pretty over a basic top or dress, this one is a pure statement.
Steps:
- Fold a giant triangle, out of your widest scarf.
- Putting the triangle over a shoulder, carefully pull the ends tight so that it hangs around your neck.
- Tie into a simple knot and voila.
- If your scarf is superheavy, you can use a fun broach just to secure it onto your clothes.
I used rather bright scarfs as they are the easiest to see what I was doing on a photograph. you honestly don't have to go buy bright scarves, these look just as wonderful with more neutral scarves.
