How to tie a scarf around your neck beautifully?
Fashion, beauty and style are invariable factors that daily disturb all girls who carefully monitor their appearance. But keeping up with fashion trends is not so easy, since they are very changeable and fleeting.
It is difficult to keep up with all the "rules" dictated by numerous fashionable couturiers, and in pursuit of style, at times, you can easily get lost and not see any special qualities in any thing, in addition to functional ones.
One of these things is a scarf, which you will not find equal in the daytime with fire, since it is this product that provides not only warmth in the most severe frosts, but also helps to beautifully and stylishly complement the image.
What is a scarf and its purpose
A scarf is called a warm woolen cloth, which in the old days was intended only to protect the neck area from cold winds and drafts.
Previously, scarves were made only of woolen, functional materials, and only with the variability of fashion trends, scarves from thin materials were introduced into the world of fashion, used as a decorative element.
It is worth mentioning that scarves can be worn not only tied around the neck, but also as a headdress.
Varieties and distinctive features of models
A scarf falls under the category of those products on which there is a consumer always and everywhere, regardless of weather conditions and circumstances.And it is this factor that is the reason for the massive creation of more and more new and unusual models that can satisfy the stylistic needs of fashionable customers.
The oldest and most famous model - scarf kerchief, is a square canvas. Most often, these items are made from fine fabrics such as silk or chiffon and are used as an accessory suitable for a light summer outfit.
Thin scarves can also be rectangular, made of one or two layers of material, depending on the structure of the fabric.
Shawl - a scarf that outwardly resembles a traditional headscarf, since it is also a square-shaped cloth. The main differences lie in the size of the products, as well as in the material from which the shawl is made - usually it is natural woolen yarn, from which a thin cobweb is knitted, or soft angora wool, from which the product is obtained using the felting technique.
The most elegant and luxurious model of a scarf made of fur (most often natural), called a boa... Such a product is combined with a coat, creating a semblance of a fur collar, or used as a decorative element that complements an evening look.
Recent unusual novelty - skate, is a fleece collar from a jacket with two elongated stripes, each of which is about ten centimeters wide. This model is a favorite and popular among athletes and ski lovers.
Another unusual model is scarf transformer, which is a non-standard product that can be used not only for its intended purpose, but also worn as an unusual top, and in some cases, even as a kind of mini-dress.
Speaking of scarves, one cannot but recall such favorite models as stole and snood... The stole is a long, wide, rectangular product made of thin, delicate cotton or warm, soft cashmere. A snood scarf is made from many types of yarn using numerous knitting methods.
Color variations and popular prints
In Soviet times, it was not customary to "dazzle" with clothes, and weaving factories had access to fabrics and paints for painting by far from all shades. Therefore, fashionistas of that time had to be content with what they have, but they always wanted something more unusual and bright.
Lovers of calm shades in clothes will like light scarves made of bed-colored materials. Creamy, creamy, light beige and delicate pink shades favorably set off the skin, giving it a healthy look and highlighting a slight glow.
Darker shades belonging to a warm color scheme also look very pretty. Warm scarves of coffee, chocolate, beige and brown colors will create an inner feeling of warmth and comfort, and the girl will give a sweeter, feminine look.
Bright colors such as pink, yellow, orange and green will also find their fans and become indispensable for creating a stylish look with "flashy" details. Scarves of the indicated shades will adorn both light and warm winter outfits.
Cold shades can also be very beautiful and bewitching, depending on the tone, giving the image notes of softness or hardness, a kind of romanticism or cold inaccessibility.
Deep blue, elegant cornflower blue, mesmerizing sky blue and delicate lilac are ideal options.
Other, more ripe and juicy shades are in trend, giving the image notes of seriousness and solidity, as well as emphasizing the femininity and passion of nature. Wine tone, deep marsala color, dark lilac and emerald, as well as unusual graphite color will look incredibly luxurious.
There is also a lot of variety among prints, some of which are more popular, while others are more and more forgotten from season to season, but only for a while, since we all know that any new fashion trend is a well-forgotten old one.
The long forgotten floral print gained unprecedented popularity last season, continuing to replenish the army of its fans more and more. A pattern of red and pink flowers with juicy green leaves, depicted on a white, creamy, black or blue background, looks incredibly impressive.
An animal print looks bright and extravagant, suitable for confident young ladies with light notes of bitchiness and insolence in character.
Such a pattern is an image in the form of the colors of the skins of different animals: a snow leopard, a tiger, a zebra, or the most popular - a leopard.
Striped and checked scarves look beautiful, the width and size of which is chosen solely from individual preferences. No less popular is the "pea" print, thanks to which you can create an image in the best traditions of retro style.
Classic ways
But it is not enough just to choose a beautiful product of a popular shade, because not every girl knows how to wear a scarf in such a way that it looks not some ordinary thing, but an item of luxury and chic.
Tying a scarf correctly and beautifully is far from the easiest task, since certain methods are not suitable for every model, so it is worth delving into this issue and considering it in more detail.
- Thin scarf.
You can tie a thin scarf, for example a silk one, in several ways, depending on the model, even for the same scarf - there are two options for scarves.
- First, it is necessary to fold the product in the form of a triangle, and then tuck it in such a way that the triangular tip sticks out minimally or even remains invisible under the folded part. Then you can tie it around your neck, simply by throwing it or winding it twice, and secure it with a beautiful bow or knot suitable for a tie. The same method works for rectangular lightweight scarves.
- Second - it is also necessary to fold a triangle from a square scarf, then, throwing it over the neck, tie a small elegant knot. The product will shrink a little, and the folds will look like small waves and will look just charming!
- Warm winter scarf.
Tying a winter scarf can be much easier, since many knitted models can be simply wrapped around the neck without resorting to knots.
This method is applicable to the stole, but this product looks most beautiful if it is tied with a loop. It is necessary to fold the product in half, throw it over the neck and thread the free ends of one side into the loop obtained on the other side.
Models of square woolen scarves are quite simple to tie. For example, a shawl - thrown over your shoulders, you can cross the ends under the bust and fasten at the back to create additional warmth.
A round wool scarf is much easier to wear as it doesn't need any specific tie. It is enough just to twist it in such a way that it forms a figure eight, then, folding it in half, stick your head through the hole. All ingenious is simple!
A more detailed description of these methods, as well as some other options, can be found in this video, which presents the most popular and beautiful ways of tying a scarf.
How can you tie a scarf of different lengths?
Long scarves are always much easier to tie than short ones, since it is with a long product that you can create an image with notes of lightness, airiness or stylish negligence.
You can spontaneously throw a long scarf around your neck, wrapping it several times, thereby creating the appearance of a lush, voluminous product.This method is good for an image that does not imply the presence of outerwear, since in combination with it, the outfit will be overloaded with volumes.
The good thing about a short scarf is that you can use it as an unusual stylish tie, combining it with different blouses and shirts.
Sophisticated and trendy options 2021
A truly exquisite version of a scarf is a snood made using the technique of small, machine knitting, into the yarn of which lurex threads and small sequins are added. Such a product shines in the light and gives the image a more elegant look.
Boas decorated with large precious stones and silk ribbons in the form of strings look gorgeous.
This kind of scarf will look pretty good and will definitely make a lasting impression and cause envious glances and sighs.
Do not forget about stoles, which can have not only an everyday look, but can also be decorated with painting in the form of graceful oriental patterns, flowing lines, using shiny yarn with the effect of gilding.
What to wear a scarf with?
Scarves are actively combined with many elements of the wardrobe, since, as already mentioned, they serve not only functionally, but also help to complement the image as an accessory. Let's take a closer look at which scarves are best combined with certain clothes and how to make the right outfit.
To begin with, it is worth noting that the choice of a scarf does not depend on the choice of clothing for the lower part, be it a skirt or trousers, since the scarf in no way affects this part of the outfit. The same goes for shoes, which gives the green light for choosing absolutely any pair.
It is much more difficult to choose things when it comes to a light, summer outfit that does not require outerwear. Light scarves will be appropriate only with clothes that open the neck, and they look especially elegant and even piquant with models of dresses and sweaters that open the shoulders.
But you should be careful with such an outfit, since it looks beautiful only on slender girls with thin arms and a graceful shoulder line.
Light raincoats, windbreakers and trench coats also look good with light flowy scarves, since these outerwear models themselves are made from a fairly light material. Stoles of different density and from different fabrics, tied around the neck in a certain way, are also suitable.
The choice is much simpler and more obvious with warm outerwear such as bolognese and leather jackets, coats of different fabrics and down jackets. As with the previous category of outerwear, a variety of stoles are quite suitable for warm things, which can be either tucked in or out.
Fine knitted scarves, and voluminous yokes, and fluffy angora scarves will do. The color of the product should be selected based on the color of the outerwear.
Fur coats, as well as sheepskin coats, being quite voluminous outerwear, look good with thin but warm scarves that can be tucked under the product for convenience.
Stylish looks
- In summer, a scarf can come in handy in the same way as in a cooler season, while performing not so much insulating functions as decorative ones. A pink-menthol look will look very fresh and natural.
A light pink light jacket will look great with menthol shorts decorated with fringes, and the addition in the form of a thin turquoise scarf will be an excellent decorative detail.
- This outfit can be described in one phrase: sophistication and convenience! A gray coat with a length just above the knee, has an A-silhouette pattern, therefore it perfectly emphasizes the dignity of the figure.
It is complemented by black details - a thin hat and a voluminous scarf, and a coral bag will definitely become a bright highlight of a rather restrained image in shades.
- This bright checkered scarf is made of fabric that combines several shades: black, red and white.Such a product will certainly be a bright spot of any outfit, therefore it needs to be combined with more restrained things, such as a simple black straight-cut coat, patent ankle boots with neat low heels, as well as an elegant red patent leather handbag that will perfectly match a scarf ...
- Femininity and elegance in the image will definitely adorn any girl, so choosing sophisticated wardrobe items that go well with each other can become a very serious and important matter. A cappuccino-colored cashmere coat in combination with leggings and black leather boots with heels will be perfectly complemented by a narrow black belt strap and a knitted scarf - snood.
Small details in the form of watches and earrings - pearls also play an important role.
- The outfit, consisting of a pleated beige skirt, a loose thin blouse in light pink and white shades, and an elongated "creamy" jacket, although it looks very stylish, is still a bit boring. That is why a lightweight menthol scarf wrapped around the neck will be the perfect complement to your look.
As other details, this outfit will perfectly fit sand-tone platform shoes with an open toe, as well as a large beige rectangular bag.
- In the cold season, it is important for every girl to feel not only warm and cozy, but also comfortable, realizing that she is wearing stylish and fashionable clothes. To dilute the dull cold landscapes with bright, delicate colors, you should opt for a straight-cut menthol coat, complemented by a dense scarf-collar in a light pink shade, made of dense yarn using the purl knitting technique.
Combined with other, darker wardrobe details and accessories, the look will be harmonious and surprisingly stylish.
- Light shades give the feeling of lightness and airiness to the image, which means that white tapered trousers and a light gray knitted blouse will go well with beige sandals and a voluminous knitted scarf made of fine yarn. But any light image needs bright details, so we advise you to choose stylish massive gold jewelry on your hands, as well as an unusual rectangular clutch with a leopard print.
Such details will not only emphasize individuality and a great sense of style, but will also become the highlight of the whole outfit.
- Non-standard looks need exactly the same non-standard details, which can be a black mini - skirt with an unusual white print in the form of numerous lines and geometric shapes. Black tights and ankle boots, as well as a white sweatshirt made of fine yarn, one edge of which is tucked into the belt buckle, will be the perfect complement to this skirt.
A large burgundy scarf and a medium-sized trapezoidal bag of the same tone will become a bright "spot" and the final element of the image.
- A classic look that gives it a bit of mystery is the result of a combination of skinny jeans, a lightweight loose linen shirt and an elongated oversized black and white cardigan without fastening. The look is complemented by a classic black hat with wide brim and a wide long scarf of pale pink shade made of light cotton material.
The rest of the details also play an important role, so you should opt for black ankle boots with a small heel and a leather bag in the shape of a bag.
- A straight-cut cashmere coat of midi length, made of the most delicate cappuccino shade, will appeal to any girl, because it is impossible to come up with something more feminine and at the same time conservative.
Tight black leggings and stylish boots with heels will come in handy, and a bright woolen scarf in a cage with a predominant burgundy shade and a small fringe around the edges will fit perfectly and dilute the classic look.
