Here’s How To Style Scarves, The Best Winter Accessory To Help You Look Chic While Shielding You From The Cold
We’re smack dab in the middle of the winter season and embracing all our cold-weather gear.
Dressing fashionably and remaining warm has always been a challenge for many people. With many parts of the U.S. experiencing intense, cold winds, now is a better time than any to bust out your favorite scarves.
Scarves are one of the most fun winter accessories, as they can bring a little flare to any look and are very versatile. However, you don’t only have to wear your scarf when you’ve got your outerwear on. Your scarves can be worn with everyday outfits and bring them to the next level.
You don’t only have to wear scarves in the winter either! Nice, light scarves make a great spring or summer accessory as well.
If you want to incorporate more scarves into your wardrobe, here are some easy ways to style them!
Over-the-shoulder drape
One of the most classic ways to wear a scarf is to drape one side of it over your shoulder elegantly. This is a great way to wear a thicker, larger scarf in the winter. Not only is it an easy way to wear a big scarf, but it’ll also keep you warm, acting almost like a blanket.
The loose knot
If you’re wearing a scarf more casually on a warmer day, a super cute way to style it with your outfit is to tie it in a loose knot around your neck. You fold the scarf in half, drape it over your neck, take the ends, thread them through the open loop, and make a knot.

The makeshift shawl
You can wear your larger scarves like a shawl or a wrap if you could use an extra layer of warmth on a cold day or if you need a little more coverage while sitting inside somewhere. Draping a scarf around you this way adds some extra elegance to your cozy look.
The square scarf
If you want to channel Audrey Hepburn and have fun with a dainty little square scarf, here is how you can wear one around your neck. Fold the scarf in half, then place it in front of your chest before grabbing the ends and wrapping them around your neck.
You can also use a square scarf as a makeshift hair tie or tie it to your handbag straps for an extra cute accessory.
The classic drape
If you’re going out on a day that’s not too cold but still want to have your scarf handy, you can simply drape your scarf over your neck, letting the ends rest evenly on either side of your chest, without tying it.
Not only will you have added a fun accessory to your look, but you’ll also have your warm scarf on hand if you get cold.
When pairing a scarf with your outfit, don’t overthink it! Tie it in a way that makes you feel confident or makes you warmer on those colder days. What’s your favorite way to wear a scarf?
