I love my scarves
Cashmere, Knit, square, etc.. When it comes to scarves, there are so many choices out there. And to complicate matters, each style requires a different trick to tying! To get to the bottom of scarf tying, here are some quick tips to wrap up your look.
Classic is always a contender. You can't go wrong with old school glam when it comes to silk and satin scarves. Wrap the scarf around your neck, leaving one end in the front and the other in the back. Now you have an elegant and timeless look.
And simple is another favorite. There are many ways to go, but I love to use a wide and sheer scarf, like a cashmere number, as a cover up. It may look slightly askew, but that is good. The end result is sexy and sophisticated.
Square is hot. This style is named for the shape of its scarf and will work only with squares. Simply fold the square into a triangle and stretch the triangle in front of your neck. The triangle should be upside down and pointing downward. Then wrap the ends around the back of your neck; ends in front.
Go boho by wrapping the scarf around your neck loose and draping open. Just stretch the fabric in front of your neck, around the back, and let each end hang in the front. Your done. And this style is so chic with patterned scarves.
Need some warmth? Wrap the scarf around your neck and go around as many times as you can. The ends tuck underneath when your done for a cozy accessory. This style looks great with dressy jackets and blazers because the scarf won't cover collar details.
And ideal for any cool day is the "when in doubt" of scarf tying. Bring the ends of your scarf together and fold it in half. Drape the folded scarf around the back of your neck and let each end hang in front. Then find the loop of the fold and pull the other end through it. Chic, sleek and ready to go.
Last, and maybe the best tip of all, pair any scarf in your wardrobe with your favorite over-sized bag for flair or to you best ladylike handbag for an edge. Just a simple knot at the scarf's center will do just fine. Where to hang in is all up to you and your own personal tastes.
Hello Casey,
I met you once when you were very young. I am your cousin, Phillip Ceicel's Daughter. I really enjoy Stile Haus - I'm not a nerd, but have definitely benefited from your fashion tips. (ok, and I am proud that your my cousin)
