2 Classy & Easy Ways to Tie a Winter Scarf

February is one of those months where the end to winter feels almost in sight…but not just quite. 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. Remember to screenshot these step-by-step visuals, or save from my Pinterest!

Scarves are a tricky one to style, especially when they are bulky. The two methods I share below work best on longer scarves of light to medium thickness (sharing some options below). One reason I love them so much is that they do a great job of keeping me warm, and they look unique! I find that they cover every gap around my neck and chest, and layer well under a coat.

Easy Ways to Tie a Scarf: Elevated Scarf Knot

This elevated scarf knot is an easy way to tie a scarf, while still leaving it securely fastened to your chest. For such a sophisticated look, the steps are quite simple. And with a few practices, I am sure you will do it successfully on your own in no time. I am wearing a neutral scarf from Mango.

1. Create a loop with the scarf around your neck.
2. Tuck one scarf end through the loop.
3. Tuck the other scarf end over, and through the loop.

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:

1. Loop the scarf around your neck so that the two ends are evenly hanging on both sides.
2. Pull the loop downwards, and twist it.
3. Insert both ends of the scarf through the hole.

I hope you found these easy ways to tie a scarf helpful ways to spruce up your winter outfits! Be sure you follow me in Pinterest so you can save this content for future inspiration. And don’t forget to check out my recent post on the winter capsule wardrobe I wore for travel.
