There are many ways to wear long scarves, but some methods may require readjusting. Winter scarves are not well suited for decorative methods. Scarves can be worn as shawls, belts, or hair decorations. Scarf pins can add security and less damage to delicate materials.
You can wear long scarves in many different ways, although some of the recommended methods are not very stable and may require readjusting from time to time. Other ways to wear long scarves keep scarves securely in place and can add script, color, or contrast to the other things you’re wearing. In fact, there are probably over 100 ways to show off your long scarves, so this article will focus on some, but not all methods.
First, long scarves should look different from winter scarves. Winter scarves intended to keep the neck and face, and even the head, warm are generally not well suited to some of the methods described for thinner, more decorative long scarves. Especially if the winter scarves are bulky, heavy wool, there are three ways to wear them that make them more functional. Here are some examples of how you can wear long scarves that are voluminous and wintery.
Simply place the scarf evenly over the back of the neck and wrap one or both ends around the front of the neck, or let the ends hang loose in front of your body.
Fold the scarf in two, tuck it evenly at the back of the neck and tuck the loose ends through the fold at the front of the neck
Wrap the center of the scarf over your head, bring the ends of the scarf forward, then wrap each one around the front of your neck and let the ends hang down your back.
If the scarf is wide enough, wear it as a shawl, pinning the ends in front to keep it in place above or below the shoulders.
For long scarves made with much lighter material, you have many more options for how to wear them. You can wear long scarves that are wide enough as shawls, pinned in the front, or worn over one shoulder, threaded through a belt to keep the scarf secure. There’s no reason why a long scarf can’t work as a beautiful sash or belt. If the scarf is very long, place the center of the scarf at the front of the waist and wrap the ends until they meet the front of the waist. You can securely tie them up or pin them down.
A simple way to wear long scarves is to simply allow the ends to hang loose or to wrap one end around the neck. You can also tie a loose knot a few inches below the bottom of one end and thread the other end of the scarf through it. You may want to look at scarf pins, some of them very beautiful, that you can thread your scarf onto for added security and less damage to delicate materials.
Do not underestimate the use of scarves as hair decorations. Long, narrow oblongs make perfect headbands, and a long, square scarf is ideal for protecting hair from the elements. If you really love scarves, consider investing in a good book on scarf fashion so you can come up with more ideas for displaying these beautiful accessories. Don’t forget to search online, where there are many sites that can give you advice on how to wear long scarves.
