How to Wear Long, Skinny Scarves

The long, skinny scarf is a versatile fashion accessory.

The long, skinny scarf is made from either ribbon yarn crocheted together or light, silky fabric. Depending on the kind of yarn used, a long, skinny scarf can also be knitted or crocheted, then used as a fashion accessory to spice up your weekend or workaday wardrobe. Add to your wardrobe by buying fashion scarves with patterns, in geometric designs or plain scarves with skinny tassels.

Things You'll Need

• Several long, skinny scarves

Instructions

1. Wrap your long, skinny scarf around your neck. Don't worry about wrapping neatly. As of 2010, the trend is to wrap a long and skinny scarf haphazardly around your neck.

2. Fold your scarf in half, wrap it around your neck and pull the unfolded end loosely through the loop. Go for a casual, loose look.

3. Wrap two long, skinny scarves together. Make one scarf plain. The second scarf should have a pattern or design, making it easier to coordinate with the plain scarf. Wrap the two scarves loosely around your neck several times.

4. Tie a long, skinny scarf around your head like a long hair band. This works better if you have longer hair. Allow one end of the scarf to hang over one shoulder.

5. Fold a long, skinny scarf lengthwise and slip it through the belt loops on your jeans. Tie it loosely at one hip.

Tips & Warnings
