Tie it up

Fall is coming and one of my favorite accessories to wear is a scarf. Often I just find just one way to tie it and I keep wearing it that single way. So I decided that we all could use a more versatile piece. I'll show you the many ways to tie a scarf from images and tutorials all over the internet so we can keep it all in one place and refer back here when we need a little help in the morning. 

From Wendy's Lookbook this video has 25 ways to tie a scarf, yes, 25!!




Tutorial of the scarves below is found at The Fashion Spot

How to tie a half-bow scarf


To tie the half-bow scarf, you should first loop the scarf around your neck and tie once-- like the first step of tying your shoelaces. Then, take one side of the scarf and make a one loop, as if you were only tying one side of the bow on your shoes. Take the longer section of the scarf and wrap it in front and then behind the entire scarf, next to your neck. Fluff the loop afterwards to taste. This is a variation on this half-bow scarftutorial. Check the video link if you have any trouble.

Wrap the scarf around your neck and make sure both ends are even. Then, tie the scarf just as you would tie any bow. You need a longer scarf for this one.

How to braid a scarf


Although it looks complicated, this scarf style is easy to tie. Just double up the scarf and wrap it around your neck. Take one end and thread it through the loop, rotate the loop, and then thread through the other end.

Wrap a longer scarf around your waist and then twist it until the scarf starts to curl around itself. Keep twisting and place the twisted sections around in a flower shape. Tuck in the ends.

How to tie the half-bow cinch

With the center of the scarf on the front of your neck, wrap the ends around your neck and back to the front. Then tie the ends together and bring one end up in a loop like tying a "bunny ear" on your shoelaces. Tighten and fluff.

How to tie the knotted loop

Take both ends of the scarf and tie them together. Then open the loop and put it around your neck. (This tying method works better with skinny scarves.)
