When the temperatures officially drop and are finally here to stay, it’s all about the scarves. They’re an essential winter accessory if you ask me. They help to keep you cozy and warm, add a great layer to your outfit, and are just plain cozy! Who doesn’t love to wrap themselves in a cozy scarf (especially cashmere!).
There are so many ways to style a blanket scarf or a regular scarf. Depending on what you’re wearing you may want to be simply draped or wrapped up as much as possible around your neck. No matter what outfit you’re adding a scarf too, I’m sure one of these fun 4 ways will be a great update to simply wrapping it around your neck!
Watch the video below to see the 4 ways to tie a scarf. Which is your favorite? I’ve also broken each of them down with some of my favorite looks on how to style it.

4 Ways To Tie A Scarf
The Belted Wrap
The first look may actually be my personal favorite. Belting a wrap I think is key to helping to keep your shape. I loved the double belt that we used in the look above. But also adding a pop of leopard as we did below is obviously a good idea too. Note in the video on the back, it’s nice and draped without being held down with the belt. So you just want the belt to show in the front. After you tie your belt, make sure the wrap crisscrosses a bit in the front.
The Double Knot
The best way to bundle that neck up! Just wrap your favorite scarf around your neck twice, keep in mind to keep one side super short. Then when you knot it, drape one side of the knot over your shoulder. To me, that is a key step to keeping this one looking clean and not overwhelming.
The Pretzel
The ultimate knot if you ask me. This is such a fun update on your everyday scarf loop. Instead of doing one loop and putting both ends through, put one end through, then twist your loop, and thread the second end through. I’ll be wearing this a lot this fall as I think it’s such a great way to add some volume to thinner scarves and wraps.
The One Shoulder Drape
This one-shoulder drape was a fun and unique one that our stylist from the Garnet Hill shoot came up with. It’s a great one to use for warmer days when you just need a scarf, or for a wedding. It’s a nice way to wrap yourself in a stylish way that will for sure be different than everyone else in the room. The key to this one is to make sure you keep one side much longer than the other. You’ll grab the longer side, and grab underneath it, and pull the outer most part up and over your shoulder to create the twist. You can see in the below images how I turn the outer most side inward and upward. You can also play with how much or little you drape it which is fun.
