From the classic knot to the shawl drape, from the turban wrap to the bandana — a comprehensive look at the most beloved ways to tie a scarf.
A scarf takes on an entirely different character depending on how it is tied. The same piece can create a completely different style — an elegant knot on the way to work in the morning, a shawl draped over the shoulders at an evening event, or a relaxed bandana at the weekend.
Featured Ways to Tie a Scarf
- Classic knot — an elegant, balanced look at the neck that suits every outfit.
- Shawl drape — a warm, striking stance draped over the shoulders.
- Turban (wrap) — a covered, chic style that wraps the head.
- Foulard knot — an elegant touch at the neck with small, fine foulards.
- Bandana / hair tie — a youthful, relaxed and energetic vibe.
The right way to tie is chosen according to the texture of the fabric, the size of the scarf and the mood of the outfit. A silk scarf shines in fluid knots, while a cotton scarf holds better in tight wraps. In this guide series we cover each method one by one, step by step.
