How To Wear a Scarf as a Belt

There are times when you want to add a little "twist" to the traditional look of a belted slacks/blouse/jacket ensemble. By replacing the usual belt with a scarf in a complimentary color/pattern, you can create a flattering, and chic look.

Scarf Style Needed: Rectangular (oblong) Scarf (120 cm long)

Tying the Scarf:
Fold the rectangular scarf in half, twice, lengthwise. Thread the scarf through the belt loops of the pants (just as you would a traditional belt) and pull the belt to make sure the ends are even when fully threaded. Then, loop the scarf ends around one another and thread one end back through the loops on each side of the pants until they meet in the back.

At the back of the pants, tie the ends of the scarf into a knot and tuck any remaining ends back under the wrapped scarf. The result is a colorful alternative to the traditional belt.

This method can also be used as a belt-style tying of a scarf for simple dresses, and works well when tied in this manner at the hips.

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. Scarves come in many sizes and shapes, and many are designed for specific uses.
