How To Fold a Shawl Style Scarf

Scarf Style Needed: Rectangular (oblong) Scarf (120 cm long)
1. Fold your rectangular scarf twice lengthwise to form an "S" fold.
2. Drape the folded scarf over one shoulder so that the end in front hangs halfway between the bust-line and the waist.
3. Pin the scarf into place at the shoulder.
4. The protion of the scarf hanging over the shoulder can be left trailing down the back, or can be brought over and hooked into the crook of the elbow of the opposite arm.

Fold your rectangular scarf twice to form an "S" fold and lay the folded scarf over one shoulder. Use the jewelry pin of your choice to secure the scarf in place. The scarf should hang at least mid-way down the torso to a point between the bust-line and the waist in front.

The longer portion of the scarf can be left trailing down the back, or brought over to drape over the crook of the elbow of the opposite arm, if desired.

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.

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.
