One Scarf Two Ways


Scarves seem to be the most wondered about accessory. So I thought I'd do a series on possible ways to wear them.
Here is a small square chiffon scarf worn in two ways.

Firstly, folded into a triangle then tied with the widest part of the triangle at the front, ends tied underneath at the front after wrapping around my neck.


And simply just folded into a triangle, then rolled up and knotted to one side.

Loved this. I wear scarves a lot, especially in the cooler weather - and I have about 50 of them in various lengths and shapes. I just need some way of storing them easily - any suggestions?

I love both of these looks Imogen, especially the second. I had forgotten about wearing scarves like this until this timely reminder. Thanks!

Thank you! The first one is my favorite...
...and the photos of you are very flattering.
;^)
You look great!

I have that same scarf and I've always loved it but again, with a short neck and big bust I felt it never looked right on me. It looks great on you, and you have a long neck. Can you recommend the kinds of outfits this scarf would look fabulous with?

Nicely done!

Anything about how to wear a scarf is most welcome. Thanks.

I have a question for you--maybe for a post? It seems to me that a shirttail hem is kind of a good solution for reducing the visual width of hips--since it creates a kind of wavy rather than horizontal line. What do you think? And is there a way to wear a shirttail out and not look sloppy?

I´m lost with other than winter cashmere scarves and pashminas. On you, this little scarf looks fresh and cute though!

nonSupermum - 50 - will have a think about best ways!

Mervat - I sometimes wear a small scarf like this instead of a necklace.

Cynthia - thanks!

Anonymous - a collared shirt can work, or an open v-neck with a jacket.

Deja - from that master - thanks!

Sallymandy - will do.

Metscan - will do something on winter scarves too.

thank you! These look young and fresh; neither hippyish nor ladies who lunch. Can't wait for more!

Nice and easy scarf solutions. I need easy. I will never be a scarf origami master like Deja Pseu!

Imogen this is great - I never wear scarves because I just don't know how to. I know that my neck is long enough to pull it off. Better get cracking whilst there is some cool weather around up here in Brisbane :-)
