Chiffon, satin, silk, cashmere, knitted fabric These are just the basic types of fabrics from which neckerchiefs, bandanas, scarves, and snoods are made today. Some serve to protect from the piercing wind, others cool in the heat and save from the sun. Of course, such a feminine and flirty wardrobe detail should be in the arsenal of any fashionista. But before purchasing, let’s try to figure out not only what to wear it with, but also how to tie it with taste.
Ways to tie a scarf around your neck
For your first attempts, you should choose the shape of a regular, equilateral square; with it it will be most clear and easy to master the basic types of folding stoles and scarves.
Harlequin
One of the basic skills of tying scarves is the Harlequin.
To begin, fold the scarf in half.
We place it on the shoulders as follows:
- The fold should be located further from the neck than the edges of the scarf;
- We tie the corners with a classic knot. We bend the edge on the outside up to the middle;
- Now we tie the ends that remain outside with the main knot. With this method of knitting, two wearing options are possible - placing the knots forward, and also moving them to the comfortable side.
IMPORTANT: This option looks most advantageous when the scarf clasps the neck quite tightly.
Ascot
The Ascot knot is considered quite ascetic, strict, but at the same time elegant. Take a large scarf measuring 90 by 90 cm. It can be made of silk, shiny satin or weightless chiffon. But a product made of cashmere or fine wool is also suitable. This option will look harmonious with both a classic men's jacket and a women's coat, jacket or medium-sized vest.
Before moving on to the pattern of tying a scarf, you need to learn how to fold a scarf with a “tie”. This useful skill will continue to be useful in the future, because more stoles are tied on its basis.
- Place the scarf with the wrong side up.
- We first turn the lower right corner to the center, then the opposite one. 3.Next, fold each folded side towards the center again.
- Now we fold the fabric in half, and it becomes a thin and narrow strip of fabric. It is this tape that serves as the basis for folding scarves into various variations.
Important! You can always adjust the width of the tie strip by increasing or decreasing the number of folds.
Let's go directly to the Ascot node itself. This option is convenient to wear in both women's and men's wardrobes. Be sure to try to master it.
- We place the resulting “tie” around the neck as follows: one end should go down about 20 cm below the other.
- Tie a classic knot.
- We place the longer side of the scarf on top and make a loop, bringing the end inward
- We spread the ends of the scarf to the sides, thereby tightening the knot, and we put the ends behind the neck and hide them under clothes.
Weaving
One of the brightest and most shocking ways to wear a square-shaped scarf is to tie two models of the same size, but different in color. The final version makes the weave pattern look like lace or a large necklace. This method always attracts the attention of others, especially if you use more than two scarves of different shades.
Reference! You should be careful when choosing a color scheme, because it can be based both on contrast (contrasting warm and cool colors) and on harmony (for example, weaving scarves of the same color, but of different saturations)
Let's note the trendy ways to wear large stoles this season:
- we tuck it under the belt or sash on the dress (it is advisable that the dress be plain, so it will create a good background on which the scarf will be an undeniable accent);
- placed on the chest like a multi-layered necklace, in which each row is slightly higher than the previous one;
- wrapped around the neck and tied with several knots just below the chest line;
- draped over the head as a hood, with the ends wrapped behind the shoulders (this option looks very feminine and mysterious if combined with a classic style in the wardrobe. A straight-cut coat or trench coat would work well).
The combination of different textures, fabrics and shades provide a huge field for creativity. When the simplest methods of tying scarves are within your control, move on to the advanced level! Such a hobby will not only captivate you for a while, but will also make you the star of any event, be it a working day at the office or a bright party with friends!
