How to tie beautifully in different ways?
You can effectively complement clothes with a kerchief, adding individuality to your image. For example, an interesting solution is to tie it on the hips, place the knot on the side. The small scarf can be tied around the wrist or on a bag.
In cool weather, this accessory is most often tied around the neck.
The simplest thing is, of course, to tie a scarf under the chin, but this option is not suitable for every type of face and hairstyle. If you wear a product in the form of a bandana, then pay special attention to makeup - highlight your eyes or lips. A miniature scarf can be turned into a neat hat - hide short ends under it. It is appropriate to throw a wide model over the head as a hood, and take the crossed ends back and fix. This romantic and comfortable way is especially appropriate in windy weather.
Many wear a kerchief around their neck like a pioneer tie, an extravagant arafat or a cowboy scarf. The original way is to make a necklace out of it: on a scarf rolled into a strip, you need to tie several knots that will imitate large beads. By the way, instead of knots, you can use rings or brooches.
The kerchief looks flirty, a light kerchief in retro style.
The French way is also uncomplicated in execution. A strip is formed from a medium-sized headscarf, tied around the neck, the ends are pulled out behind the back, and then tied in a knot on the chest.
What to wear with?
Winter kerchiefs (shawls, fur products) look harmoniously with sheepskin coats, down jackets, coats of various silhouettes.This ensemble is best complemented by a warm sweater, but do not choose the option with a large voluminous collar.
It is appropriate to wear a kerchief with a formal suit or dress. Summer cotton options are perfectly combined with tops, T-shirts and sundresses.
