Scarves are more than just for keeping you warm! Accessorizing with a scarf can completely change the look of an outfit. I often dress around the scarf I want to wear, donning neutral colors and allowing my scarf to take all the attention.
The newest trend is the square, cowboy-style scarf. Popular among hipsters and fashionistas alike, the square scarf adds a little variety to our scarf wearing options.
There's so many different ways to tie the scarves and the possibilities are almost endless! Read more for a complete list of scarf trends, how to wear them and (as always) affordable finds you can snag right now!
1. Simple tie.
This looks best with your winter coat, with the collar turned up and the scarf lying under the collar to help secure it.
2. The easy once around.
This is a great look with a coat, jacket or just a tee shirt. It's a great way to add some color around your face.
3. Fancy twist and knot.
If you have a fringed scarf, this is a fun look and another way to put color right up against your face. This works best with a large triangular scarf (or shawl). Fold in half with the points in front, wrap around back once and tie in front.
4. Cowboy Style look.
Simply take your square and fold in half. Tie like you're putting on a bib.
5. Shawl wrap.
Shawls and pashminas are wonderfully versatile scarves and work well over your outfit when it gets a little chilly, or can add warmth when worn over your coat. Simply drape around your shoulders and tie in front. You can also leave one end longer and sweep it over your shoulder for more drama and warmth.
6. Butterfly wrap.
One of my favorite. A beautiful way of tying a scarf, accenting the elegant you. Just fold your scarf, let it hang around your neck, then tie these as illustrated. You'll get your beautiful butterfly wrap ready.
7. Fold, tie and loop.
Just fold your scarf in half lengthwise, wrap around your neck and pull the ends through. Voila!
8. Let it hang.
Just let the scarf hang around the back of your neck so that the two ends are in front, on either side.
