Silky Ways
6 ways to scarf-it
Scarf-ace
The scarf dates back to ancient Rome, where the Romans used a piece of linen cloth to wipe their faces and necks. It then became a male fashion accessory, worn either around the waist or tied around the neck. Women quickly adopted this style, followed by the biggest fashion houses of our time. Today, hundreds of knotting and tying styles exist, so Bespoke selects the 6 most attractive ways to tie a silk scarf.
1) Ascot Wrap
Fold the scarf in half, in the shape of a triangle, and begin to neatly pleat it from the wide end to the narrower end. Then wrap it and end by tying a neat knot around your neck. This silky look is best for a professional, yet elegant occasion.
2) Butterfly Wrap
A little more style in the wrap comes by creating a butterfly knot. Place the scarf around your neck, and do as you would if you were tying a knot, but keeping one end still in a loose bow shape. The effect of the asymmetrical flowing ends can top off any outfit.
3) Hair Band
Pull your hair back, and place the scarf on your head. Tie a knot at the nape of your neck and then add a finishing touch to the look, by making an uneven bow. This style can work both day and night, just make sure the scarf compliments your hair colour.
4) Undercoat
A main concern in the upcoming fall season is keeping your neck warm. There is no easier or stylish way to do so, than choosing a pretty silk scarf, and simply tucking it into your coat collar.
5) Casually Sleek
Hold the scarf from the middle at equal lengths, grab the scarf from both ends, place it around your neck and insert the loose ends into the loop. And there you have it, a simple, casual and sleek look for any daytime rendezvous.
6) Gypsy
Tie your hair in a neat bun first, then go ahead with folding the scarf in half in a triangular shape. Place the wider end of it on your hair line, and sweep it back, covering your mane and finishing the look off with a little knot on the nape of your neck.
