2 Classy & Easy Ways to Tie a Winter Scarf

After a few months of wearing the same puffer jacket on repeat, I can easily start to feel ‘bored’ over my winter wardrobe. However, one of the ways I re-engage with it is by accessorizing in creative ways! I learned these 2 easy ways to tie a scarf a few years ago, and am excited to share them with you.

The Loop-Twist Method

I gave this simple scarf-tying method a name of my own, and have been using it for years since I saw it off of Pinterest. The loop-twist method helps to reinforce the scarf around my neck, while not feeling as bulky as an actual tie-knot. Here are the steps for the loop-twist method:
