There are many ways to successfully complement your look by decorating it with stylish accessories. And everyone, for sure, knows a couple - three ways to tie a beautiful scarf around the neck.

But there is also the option of wearing the product as a headdress, which also requires a beautiful and neat tying, which will be discussed in this article.

What is a scarf?

A scarf is a piece of material of varying lengths and shapes that is tied around the neck, waist, or over the head for warmth.

A bit of history

The historical origin of the scarf is quite interesting, because according to some sources, the first scarves appeared about two thousand years ago in the most ancient state - China.

In 1974, during excavations of monumental burials of that era, archaeologists discovered a product that outwardly resembles a modern scarf, which, according to scientists, was part of the military uniform of the imperial troops.

In general, the very name "Scarf" is borrowed from the German language. In the languages ​​of the Czechs and Poles, there is a word similar in pronunciation, which also means a military bandage around the neck.

Indeed, initially a scarf was considered an item belonging to a military uniform, and in the Russian troops it served as an insignia of different military ranks. Later, the scarf began to be considered an item of everyday wardrobe and was made only in warm models, since it was intended solely to protect the neck from the draft and frosty wind.

And after some time, according to the idea of ​​fashion designers, the scarf became not just a wardrobe item, but a popular accessory that performed not only any functions, but also served as a stylish decoration.

Scarves models

There are a great many types of scarves and, although there are certain similarities between them, they are still different independent products, each of which has its own disadvantages and advantages.

The most popular and common scarf, often used for winter and late autumn - snood, presented in the form of a wide knitted "loop" or ring. The advantage of the product is that it does not need to be specially wound on the head; it is enough to just pull one of the edges.

Well-known and actively used stole needs no special introduction. The product can be made of a denser or very thin fabric, representing a rectangular wide piece of fabric with a light fringe on two opposite edges.

Name scarf bactus can lead to a kind of stupor, since it is not often heard. The product is a narrow scarf with elongated edges.

Back in the Soviet Union, grandmothers wrapped themselves and their children in warm thick, dark gray downy shawls. Everyone will understand what kind of product we are talking about - of course, the most popular warm scarf, suitable even for severe frosts, is shawl.

Boa often referred to as collars and capes, but in fact it belongs to the category of scarves. The product has one significant drawback - it is not worn on the head and is worn exclusively on the shoulders, as a decorative addition to an evening look.

Scarf model name "Arafatka" also little known, since it is also very often confused with ordinary scarves. The scarf is a large square cloth made of thin cotton or woolen fabric, decorated with a rather long fringe along the edges.

The scarf is also referred to as a scarf, and other models are often presented in the form of rectangular scarves of different lengths and widths.

Choosing a scarf

Not every scarf is suitable for tying a product on the head, since some of them have a completely different purpose. In order not to be mistaken with the choice and purchase a comfortable, and most importantly high-quality scarf, you should pay attention to some, at first glance, not essential, but important details.

Long scarf especially relevant for winter, since it allows you to cover not only the head, but also to protect the neck from cold wind and snow. In addition, for more warmth, the long scarf can be wrapped around the head and shoulders several times.

Large scarves in principle, they are very popular, because if necessary, you can wrap yourself up in it like a blanket and protect yourself from the cold. In addition, a large blanket can be easily thrown over all clothes, if the need arises.

Wide scarves The good news is that to provide more warmth, they can be folded in half or even three times, making you feel more comfortable.

If you have to choose a summer product, it is better to stop at narrow scarves made of chiffon or silk fabric.

Good for the off-season cotton, satin or linen scarves... As for soft stoles, their relevance remains unshakable regardless of the season or occasion.

Colour

Much depends on the choice of color in the image, whether the scarf will be a bright detail, or vice versa - something calm and balanced, against the background of other, brighter and more prominent things.

This applies to dark and light shawls down shawls, which will be in perfect harmony with deep blue, orange, red, green and other bright shades of outerwear. The dark gray and milky colors of these scarves add light notes of calmness, restraint and moderation to the image.

Bright scarves work best with dark outerwear, because in any look it is important not to overdo it with colors.

Models of dark green and cornflower blue shades look very beautiful. Such a scarf, tied over the head, will perfectly accentuate slightly dark skin, a slight blush and eyes of gray and blue shades.

Pink scarves, as well as models of light shades close to white, look very romantic, so they are ideal for dreamy young girls. In addition, a knitted product of this tone visually looks very cozy and creates a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Bright greens, yellows, reds, purples and many other shades are great for diluting a too “dark” and gloomy outfit and creating a bright accent on an interesting detail, which is a scarf tied on a head, because it still looks much more interesting than a regular hat ...

Popular prints and decor

Scarves can be plain and look beautiful without any patterns and decorative elements, but an unobtrusive print will never ruin the product, but only give it a more interesting look.

The most popular are scarves with animal prints, namely with colors similar to leopard or tiger skin. The image can have both a natural shade and be made with other colors that are not characteristic of these animals.

Scarves can have a standard thick or more subtle stripes as decoration. A product in a nautical style can be painted under a vest or decorated with the image of small anchors or any other marine paraphernalia.

Checkered prints are also popular with various sizes of stripes, the intersection of which forms cells, as well as with various independent images of cubes, rhombuses, rectangles and other geometric shapes.

Lightweight scarves are very often decorated with simple masks, flowing lines that imitate waves, various light curls and patterns in an oriental style. Most often, such images are applied with bright colors to make the product most suitable for the warm season.

And, of course, do not forget about the classic "pea" print. Depending on the size of the peas, the product will look more daring and “flashy” or, on the contrary, feminine and sophisticated.

How to tie correctly in different ways?

You can tie a scarf not only on the neck, as we are all used to, but also on the head, using it as a decorative element or even a warm headdress.

In late autumn or winter cold, a warm scarf on your head will be better and more functional than any, even the thickest, hat.

The easiest way is to tie scarves such as snood, pipe, figure eight on your head. Part of the product is thrown over the neck, and the other part is put on the head. This method is good only for light coolness, because in strong wind and frost, the head will still be exposed to cold.

The scarf collar, although it is lighter and thinner, is nevertheless tied according to the same principle. A thin collar can be tied in the form of a summer headband.

In general, there are not as many winter scarves and ways to tie them as it might seem, but although the choice is not great, it is still there, and, having considered each of the options in more detail, the advantages of each of them will become obvious, so it will be much easier to make a choice ...

A shawl folded in half is perfect for the harsh northern frosts, and an ordinary woolen scarf-shawl will do for light coolness. Usually, such products are worn on the head like any scarf and tied around the neck. The stole can be used in a similar way.

Thin long cotton or silk scarves can be wound around the head in the form of a turban. This headdress is a traditional part of the costume of oriental peoples, it looks unusual and quite attractive, therefore, created from bright, unusual scarves, it will give the image an extraordinary touch of chic.

Muslim women tie a headscarf on their heads in a special way, covering their necks as well, since this is required by their religion.

By the way, speaking of religious aspects, one cannot fail to mention Christianity, since the church requires women to go inside the temple with their heads covered. Some people tie a scarf at the back like a bandanna, but the classic and most common way is to tie a scarf like a regular Russian headscarf - under the chin.

How to choose a method according to the type of person?

There are no identical people and the shape of the face, accordingly, can also be different for sure. The type of face can have both advantages and disadvantages, and it is important to choose a hat in such a way as to correct these smallest shortcomings.

For convenience, the table shows the most common face types and describes the methods of tying a scarf that are most suitable for each of them.

A scarf tied in the form of a scarf will do, since this is the method that will most successfully help to correct the fullness of the cheeks.

A slightly covered forehead or a voluminous hairstyle in this area will look good, so a yoke scarf tied in the form of a rim will look great.

A scarf - snood, loosely draped over the head, will help to correct the shape of the face with the help of loose hair.

An elongated face with an elongated chin and a high forehead.

Round

The face is rounded with a round chin and full cheeks.

A shawl tied so that the cheekbones and cheeks are slightly covered will help soften the facial features.

Shoes for such an outfit will suit the appropriate - sneakers, slip-ons, light tennis slippers, flat sandals or simple ballet flats.

In winter clothes, the combination of warm shawls used as a headdress with other clothes is much more diverse than light models.
