How to Wear Scarves Around Your Neck

The simplest way to wear a neck scarf is to tie it in a knot.

Scarves come in many shapes, styles and textures. From short, thin silk ones to long, bulky wool ones, the way a scarf is worn varies by its wearer's preference. Thin ones might be knotted a few times to make a short scarf close to the neck, while longer scarves are sometimes placed on shoulders. The simplest way to wear a scarf is to get one at least a few feet in length and tie a simple knot in it.

Things You'll Need

• Scarf

Instructions

1. Pick a scarf that is appropriate for the season. During winter months, wear thicker and longer scarves; during fall and spring, pick thinner scarves. A scarf that matches your coat or outfit is also best.

2. Fold the scarf in half lengthwise.

3. Line the middle of the scarf up at the back of your neck. Both ends should be at the same length on both sides of your neck.

4. Grab both ends of the scarf and tie a loose knot. Tighten the knot and pull it toward your neck, leaving about an inch of room.

5. Pull some of the loose fabric over the knot to cover it, if desired.
