How to tie a long scarf?

How do we wear short scarves? Usually they hide in the necklines of blouses or peek out from under the neck of a coat. But their long counterparts are tied, wrapped, twisted, and in the most visible place.

A long scarf is an accessory that can turn even the most banal outfit into a stylish bow. The main thing is to tie it correctly.

A long scarf is an incredibly practical thing, and it is not necessary to wear it strictly around the neck. Much depends on the season and the scarf itself.

A winter thick scarf is usually worn on top of a jacket, down jacket or coat. The simplest and prettiest option:

• put the scarf around your neck at the back and adjust the length of the hanging ends: pull one side down until the other end rises to the length you need;
• wrap the neck with the long end and leave it on the chest;
• if the scarf is very long, make a few more of these turns.

"Knot". Ideal for tops with high collars.

• fold the scarf in half and throw it around the back of the neck;
• on the chest, thread the ends of the scarf into the loop that formed at the other end;
• adjust the tension of the scarf: the knot can be tightened tightly, then the ends will hang down on the side. If the knot is loosened, the image will be more relaxed, and the ends of the scarf will be in the center of the figure.

"Complicated knot" - a little more tricky, but the effect is amazing! You will need a long scarf made of cotton or wool without patterns so that it does not slip and keeps its shape.

• fold the scarf in half, throw it around the back of the neck;
• on the chest, thread only one of the ends into the loop - the one that is lower;
• put the upper end of the scarf first on top of the loop, and then thread it through it.

A woolen scarf of medium thickness (demi-seasonal) can easily be turned into a snood. For this, the ends of the scarf are cleaved with each other with pins so that a ring is obtained. Snood looks great with outerwear, both freely hanging and wound in several turns. Scarves with a pattern are perfect: knitted braids, checkers, herringbone.

To lay a snood around the neck in several turns

• put it over your head;
• cross the ends on the chest;
• lift the loop formed at the bottom and stick your head through it.

Snood looks very stylish in spring or autumn, in the company of a light jumper or cardigan.

If the scarf is not only long, but also wide enough, you can put a snood from it on your head.

So that the accessory tightly covers the back of the head, ears and neck

• put a ring from a scarf (in a straightened form) on your head so that the upper part is at the crown, and the rest hangs freely down;
• cross the ring on the chest with a “figure eight”, and put the loop that turned out below on the neck;
• lay the remaining length around the neck, repeating the previous paragraph;
• straighten and carefully lay the loops that have formed around the neck.

If you want a snood on your head to look casual

• lay out the scarf ring on the floor;
• make a symmetrical "eight" out of it;
• fold the "eight" in half and put it on your neck;
• from the back of the neck, pull one of the loops to the back of the head, which will act as a "hood".

A narrow silk scarf is ideal for a dress below the knee or to the floor. Usually it is tied at the side of the neck, leaving one end hanging down on the chest and the other on the back. The accessory fits snugly to the neck, like a necklace, and emphasizes it.

In the same way, a narrow scarf is tied under a cardigan or jacket in combination with trousers. A narrow bright stripe will add a little gloss to a strict look. This is a good option for going to a cafe or a movie after work.

For wearing with open tops, blouses with a deep neckline or strict shirts, a narrow scarf can be tied with a tie. For this:

• throw a scarf around your neck at the back;
• Tie a knot at one end, but do not overtighten. The height of the node can be located anywhere;
• thread the opposite side of the scarf into the knot and tighten it slightly.

To emphasize the neck and chest and visually stretch the figure, try the following method:

• attach the scarf to the neck, cross the ends at the back and bring them to the chest;
• just below the collarbones, tie the scarf panels into a loose knot.

In the same way, you can tie a narrow knitted scarf. True, it is worth relaxing the loop a little.A knitted scarf looks original in the company of a knitted jumper.

In the cold, when the face freezes, a long scarf can be tightly laid around the neck. It turns out a warm and original addition to a short jacket, a smooth simple down jacket, a straight coat.

• put the scarf on the back of your neck asymmetrically, so that one side is very short and the other is very long;
• circle the long end around the neck in tight rows.
• when there is no more length left for the next turn, hide the end of the accessory inside, behind the collar of the clothes, or under the scarf itself;
• to prevent the scarf from unwinding, pin it with a brooch or a decorative pin.

If you make the coils loose, you can create an airy and relaxed look, but remember: the scarf will be very voluminous. The ideal companion for him in this case is a short jacket or a discreet cardigan.

Urban fashionistas have long spied on the catwalks a rather bold look with a long scarf tucked into a belt at the waist. You can wear it with tops, blouses, dresses, but this combination looks especially beautiful on a coat. The scarf is thrown over the shoulders and tucked into the strap. You can cross the ends on the chest. It looks interesting if the scarf is worn asymmetrically, for example, diagonally.

Thick knitted scarves in this case will not work, as they create too much volume. Soft stoles made of fine wool are ideal here: they drape well and do not slip. For a coat, you should pick up a scarf with tassels, small pompoms or fringe at the ends.

At fashion shows, you can often see how a scarf tucked into a belt hangs down to the ground.For wearing on the streets, you should limit yourself to the maximum length to the knee - below the accessory will simply interfere and look ridiculous.

There are situations when a long scarf can not be tied at all. It is enough just to throw it over your shoulders and freely let go of the ends. So you can complement the outfit in ethnic style, or boho. The mood is created by voluminous knitting and brushes at the ends.
