7 ways to wear your scarf

Tied, knotted or laid? I'll show you how you can create variety with just one scarf and a few simple steps.

Tell me how you wear your scarf and I'll tell you who you are. No, a little joke on the side. I don't want to bore you with the psychology of scarf wearing. I don't have the necessary knowledge for that. Instead, I'm going to show you what you can do with your scarves to add variety to your outfits. As a starting point, I have selected an almost two-metre-long model from Pieces, because the longer the scarf, the more scope you have for styling.

#1 Classic

I was previously of the opinion that this variant was easy. However, since I have been asked several times on the street how this knot works, there seems to be a need for explanation. To make the "loop", fold your scarf in half around your neck and pull the two ends through the resulting loop. Et voilà.

#2 Editor's Choice

As I have seen the "classic" too often, I like this variation thanks to its exciting twist. The starting position is the same and looks more complicated than it is: double the scarf around your neck. This time, however, you only pull one end through the loop from below. Then knot both ends together. The scarf must not be too short for this variation.

#3 Fake loop

Would you like a round loop scarf, but don't have one to hand? No problem, because tricks are allowed. For a tube-look scarf, wrap your scarf around your neck twice (or depending on how long it is), knot the ends together and hide the knot under the fabric.

#4 Cold shoulder

Warning: This trend is not for the faint-hearted. This outfit doesn't really keep you warm, but it looks all the prettier for it. You'll need a coat with a tie belt for this look. Alternatively, you can use a normal belt for another purpose. You'll need it to fasten the scarf so that it doesn't blow around your ears. Place the scarf in the centre of one of your shoulder blades and tie the two ends with a belt at the waist.

#5 Playful

Tie a kind of waterfall (as this style is called) by twisting your scarf slightly around your neck and hiding one end underneath. Let the other end dangle down. Now tuck the whole thing in. The result should look messy in this case.

#6 Simple

This method is ideal for lazy people like me. Because I have to get up quickly in the morning - and the snooze function on my mobile greets me every day. As I'm always on the run, I leave the house at the last minute. That's why I just throw a scarf around my neck when I'm running and let both ends hang down at the front...

#7 Warm shoulder

...if I'm too early and have to wait for the bus at the station, I throw one of the scarf ends over my shoulder. That way, my neck is covered and I can snuggle my chin and mouth into it for protection if necessary. Top model Kate Moss also wears her scarves like this. If it rains, you can throw the end of the scarf over your head for protection instead of over your shoulder, like a kind of hood. [[product:6399311]]
