Wear a Scarf Over the Shoulder

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf (120 cm square)
1. Fold your square scarf diagonally.
2. Take each side of the main fold and fold back and forth into an accordion-style fold one-inch deep.
3. Open the main fold and hold the accordion folds flat.
4. Pinch the scarf to hold the folds in place and drape the scarf over the shoulder.
5. Fan the scarf over the shoulder and down the back in a cape-like fashion.

Tying the Scarf:
Take your square scarf and fold it in half diagonally. If the scarf has a specific front and back, make sure the "front" is folded to the inside. Fold the ends back upward until approximately 1 inch remains folded. Continue folding in opposite directions until one layer of the scarf is folded in an accordion style.

Flip the scarf and repeat the process to create an accordion fold on the other side of the center fold. Open the center fold and lay it flat with the remaining folds intact underneath. Pinching the folds to hold them in place, drape the folded scarf over the desired shoulder and pin the scarf in place with the desired piece of jewelry.

The point at which the scarf is pinned should be between the breast and shoulder. Once the scarf is securely placed, the trailing end can be allowed to fan out over the shoulder and down the back.

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. There are bandanas and kerchiefs which are smaller in size (usually 14-16 inches [35-40 cm] on a side), to large shawl-like scarves (which can be up to 48 inches [120 cm] on a side). There are square scarves, rectangular (or oblong) scarves, and triangular scarves. Some scarves have hemmed edges, fringed edges, and fused edges. They can be batik dyed, tie-dyed, silk-screened, have woven patterns, or solid ...

Scarf Wrapping for The Crown

This style of scarf wrapping is named for the fact that it forms a fabric crown over the head. It is an elegant-looking wrap and is a good choice for bad hair days. Scarf Style Needed: Rectangular (oblong) Scarf Tying the Scarf: Drape the rectangular scarf over the head off-centered so that one end hangs much farther down the body than the other. Gather the ends of the scarf at the nape of the neck and cross them behind the head. Twist the longer end of the scarf to form a "rope" which should be laid along the front edge of the scarf approximately 1-2 inches from the edge (over the top of the head). Continue the twist around to meet the other, shorter, end of the scarf and knot the two ends together. The ends can be left loose to drape over or behind the shoulder, or may be guided along the back of the head and tucked under the scarf, out of sight. This is a terrific look for outdoor occasions or for anytime you want to create an exotic look and your hair won't ...
