Silk scarves have long been a fashion girl's go-to accessory to elevate pretty much any outfit. And as much as we love wearing them tied in a ponytail or wrapped around a handbag, in our minds there is only one way to wear a scarf this season.
Think of this versatile accessory as your alternative to a bold necklace or choker. Swap out your typical necklace situation with a folded neck scarf to give your look a stylish update. Opt for a classic bandana or otherwise modern geometric print, depending on your mood. We love how the print pops against a solid outfit.
How-To
- Choose a square scarf.
- Fold in half diagonally.
- Fold in 1- to 1 1/2–inch sections until the scarf is in one long line.
- Tie it snug and leave the knot in the back or show the ties in the front (we love it shifted just off-center).
- You might also want to leave one corner untucked for more of a bandana look.
- Depending on the size of the scarf, you may need to wrap it around twice to achieve the "snug" fit.
