How To Create an Ascot Wrap

This is a traditional scarf tying style, providing a conservative, yet sophisticated look. The style is excellent for summery skirt / pant suits where the addition of a blouse would be too warm for the climate.

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf (120 cm square)

Tying the Scarf:

Fold the square scarf diagonally from corner to corner. Drape the folded scarf around the neck, passing the folded corners back over the shoulders. Cross the folded corners behind the neck and bring them forward over the shoulders once more.

Draw the scarf to a snug fit around the neck and tie the folded corners together to form a simple knot or bow (your choice).

This scarf-tying style creates a very soft, feminine-looking accent to a suit, and is equally purposed for concealing décolletage in low-cut, jacketed dresses, and blouses.

Wear a Scarf to Highlight Your Beauty

Scarf Styles: Throughout history, scarves have been made from a variety of fabrics - from heavy wool knits to fine silk weaves, patterned or plain - each style appropriate to its setting or the fashion of the period. Today, fashion scarves are commonly made from silk, rayon or acetate, which offer a light weight, fluid movement, strength, and a shimmering finish. Other common fabrics for scarves are cotton and wool, which make for a slightly heavier scarf, with structure and often textured finishes.
