How to tie a scarf beautifully (photo and detailed description)

A scarf is an important element of clothing. This is warmth, beauty and the final chord of creating a fashionable image.

The ability to tie this accessory beautifully and originally helps to enrich your wardrobe without extra costs. After all, the same scarf with a bow will add coquetry, and tied in the form of a tie, it will dilute the office dress code.

A scarf is tied in cold weather with a fur coat, coat or jacket not only for warmth, but also for beauty. In spring, he adds fresh colors to a raincoat or jacket. In summer - originality and some audacity or romantic naivety, depending on the chosen style.

Tying a scarf beautifully is not difficult. A little training and a whole range of interesting, original options for wearing a scarf will surprise others.

Ways to tie a scarf

It is not at all necessary to tie complex, sophisticated and ornate knots every time. Sometimes the simplest things are the most effective and appropriate.

For example, simply throw a scarf over your shoulders, hanging the ends in front or behind.

Or you can wrap it around your neck, bringing the ends forward, backward or on different sides. You can tie it with a simple single knot.

  

To begin with, you should master several options for tying a scarf:

• on the neck;

However, there are many other, more complex and interesting options; a huge number of videos have been shot on this topic.

• with a coat;
• on the head.

In the future, you will want to study as many nodes as possible so as to never repeat yourself and create a new image every time.

Important! Before choosing a knot, you should decide on the scarf itself. The larger it is, the simpler the knot should be.

On the neck

To show off the pattern of the scarf and at the same time protect your neck from the elements, you can tie a neck scarf as follows:

 

1. Give the scarf a triangular shape.
2. To create a smoother texture, fold the strip of the top edge. If you need beautiful drapery, you should not bend it.
3. Place at the front with the angle down.
4. Tie your neck.
5. Tie the ends at the front with a knot.
6. Place neat folds.

As an option - make a knot under the canvas. This cowboy style is suitable not only for horse riding, but also for everyday life. Can also be tied behind without wrapping around the neck.

 

For the most part, a decorative option is tying a bow. Bows and bows are fashionable, elegant and a little frivolous. A variety of long scarves are suitable for tying.

The bow is tied as follows:

1. Hang the cloth around your neck. Cross the ends in front and pull the one on top through the resulting ring.
2. Form a bow wing from the bottom end. Place the top one behind the wing.
3. Form a similar wing and insert it into the coil, wrapping the first one.
4. Tighten the resulting bow, adjust and move to the desired location.

There is one more, a more original way to tie a bow:

1. Place the scarf around your neck, leaving one edge much longer than the other.
2. Roll the extended edge into a cylinder with several turns.
3. Flatten the cylinder by squeezing the middle.
4. Place the shortened edge under the narrow part of the former cylinder.
5. Wrap the future bow from bottom to top and insert the edge into the resulting loop at the back of the bow. Tighten and spread the wings of the bow.

 

A plain jacket in calm tones can be diluted with a bright scarf with several knots. Tying such a beauty is not difficult at all:

1. Hang the scarf over your shoulders.
2. Tie the ends with one knot. The knot should be voluminous; you should not tighten it too much.
3. Make another voluminous knot just below the first one.
4. Tie as many knots as the length of the accessory allows.

If you don’t have time to tie knots, you can make a blank in advance. Then, at especially critical moments, by throwing the workpiece over your shoulders, you can get a neatly tied knot in a matter of seconds, even on the go.

The preparation is easy:

1. Hang the scarf over your shoulders.
2. Tie a single loose knot on one side.
3. Arrange the folds in the knot to form a ring.
4. When you need to put on a scarf, thread the free end into the prepared knot.

Over coat

You can decorate a coat with a scarf as follows: wrap a corner around your neck, secure with a knot or brooch; insert the opposite edge into the shoulder strap; straighten out the folds nicely.

So the scarf will serve more of an aesthetic function than a practical one.

If you need a scarf to decorate and at the same time keep you warm, a pigtail knot will help:

This ornate knot is knitted quite simply:

1. Make one turn of the scarf around your neck. Pull the middle part so that it hangs slightly.
2. Twist the middle part.
3. Pull one end through the resulting loop through the top.
4. Pull the other end through the bottom.
5. Tighten the knot.

A similar node can be obtained in another way:

1. Place the fabric in the middle and drape it over your shoulders.
2. Pull one end into the resulting loop.
3. Twist the loop and pull the other end into it.
4. Tighten the knot.

If the coat has a collar, then it is better to hide the ends of the scarf under the coat. For example, a knot with a turn is suitable.

Tying such a knot is not difficult at all:

1. Place the accessory in the middle and drape it over your shoulders.
2. Pull the ends into a loop.
3. Twist the loop, dividing it into two.
4. Pull the two ends into a new loop.
5. Hide the ends under the coat.

It is not at all necessary to hide the ends under the coat if there is a collar. But the outline of the knot should follow the shape of the neckline of the coat, completely covering it.

Important! Pigtail and twist knots will look more impressive on scarves that are plain or have longitudinal lines.

Scarf as a hood

Sometimes the weather turns bad, but there is no time to think about a hat. In such cases, you can make a hood out of a scarf.

The simplest option is a hood made from a snood scarf. You can make a snood from an ordinary scarf by connecting the opposite ends with a seam, buttons and a brooch, or simply tying it with a knot.

A hood is made from a snood as follows:

1. Hang the snood on your shoulders.
2. Twist it in front to form a loop.
3. Place the loop over your head and spread it out.

If the weather is changeable, the hood can be easily removed (you get a double wrap of the scarf around the neck) and put back on the head.

Another version of the hood is made from a triangular or large scarf folded into a triangle.

The triangle is placed on the head. One corner remains in front, the other is thrown over the shoulder back.Such a hood can also be removed from the head, without unwinding, but simply lowered onto the shoulders.

A more complex, but no less interesting version of the hood can be tied from a long scarf in the following way:

1. Cover your head with a scarf, making one end longer than the other.
2. Twist the extended end with a rope.
3. Make a coil around the neck.
4. Pull the same end under the tourniquet from top to bottom.
5. Tighten the knot and spread out the folds.

Such a hood will perfectly replace a hat in inclement weather.

Scarf on head

Among other things, scarves make excellent summer hats. Scarves will protect women from exposure to ultraviolet radiation, excessive overheating and will add brightness and originality to the image.

Light scarves or silk neckerchiefs are suitable for headwear. The first option for wearing a headscarf is to tie it like a bandana.

The bandana is tied as follows:

1. Fold the scarf in half into a triangle.
2. Cover your head with a scarf from forehead level. At the back there should be a right angle of the triangle pointing downwards.
3. Bring the ends with sharp corners back and tie them with a double knot above the fabric of the scarf at ear level.
4. Unfold the folds.

Second version of the bandana:

When tying a scarf according to the second option, you can tuck your hair under it or leave it. For this:

1. Fold the scarf in half into a triangle.
2. Cover your head with a scarf so that the wide angle of the triangle is between the eyebrows, and the fold line of the scarf is at the back of the head.
3. Bring the ends with the sharp corners of the triangle forward.
4. Tie a knot at the top of the head above the fabric.
5. Pull up the straight corner, bend it and hide it behind the knot.

If the length of the scarf allows, you can wrap it around your head again. Then, after bringing the ends forward, they do not need to be tied.Having made a cross on the top of the head, bring the ends back and tie a knot there. Hide the right corner of the scarf under the crosshairs on the top of the head.

One of the variations of this method is obtained by twisting the ends into ropes. In this case, a more voluminous headdress is obtained.

General recommendations

It is not difficult to tie a scarf beautifully. However choosing a scarf that harmonizes with other elements of the image is a more difficult task. A few recommendations to help solve this problem:

• The thicker the clothing, the thicker the scarf is required. The exception is the fur coat. The combination of a fur coat with a silk scarf is a classic.
• A bright scarf will go well with plain, neutral-colored clothes.
• A plain scarf goes well with colorful clothes. The color of the accessory must be present in the clothing design.
• A long scarf goes well with long clothes. With a short jacket, it needs to be tied so that the ends do not fall below the middle of the jacket.
• A scarf that is too bright will not match a business suit. For the office it is better to choose calmer colors.
• The scarf should not completely blend into the clothing. This is an accessory that should stand out, even if the focus of the image is not on it.

Of course, there are exceptions to every rule. You can tie a thick scarf with a summer T-shirt or a knee-length scarf with a short jacket. But for such combinations you need to have a sense of style so that such experiments do not look stupid. Although any outfit, even the stupidest one, can be presented in such a way that everyone around will admire it.

Therefore, you should not be afraid of experiments. And if a scarf has always served only a practical function, it’s never too late to start tying it for beauty.
