Summer Scarves for Men

Gone are those days when men worry about how they wear their summer scarves, those days when they just hide and tuck their scarves on their jackets and just only show them on their button up shirts. But generation has evolved. Men became trendy and confident as they think this is how they can magnet women.  Men of today became metro sexual and are now wrapping. Twisting, knotting and looping a scarf which adds up charm and sex appeal to their persona.

Here are few great tying techniques that will allow you to showcase the creativity you have been hiding.

·         Beach kerchief – whenever you are heading out to a beach or a boat, be a cowboy and wear a summer scarf around your neck. Here’s how:

1.       Fold the scarf diagonally to make a triangle.

2.       Get the two other corners and tie it at the back of your neck. Let the scarf dip low in your front.

 

·         Flip it, baby – just like the other accessories; you should look cool and composed.  After wearing your shirt, take a light, long scarf and place it around the neck. Let one end hang longer than the other. And that’s it. You are ready to go!

 

·         Lover in Paris – Parisian knotted scarf is worn by folding it in half and holding it in both hands. If your scarf is fringed, just make sure that the fringed ends are together when you hold it. Place the middle of the scarf around the front of your neck. Then bring the loose ends back to the front and pull together from the loop. Pop your collar and go tight or loose with the scarf.

 

·         Headband or hat band – Summer scarves are technically light and it can be worn around the head like bandana or simply a headband. They can also add up jazz to your hat like fedora or straw hat. For a head, a cotton scarf works great; for a hat, a silk or lines is good to go. Folding a scarf is a headband and a hat band is just the same and similar to beach kerchief. Just fold the scarf diagonally to make a triangle. Take the middle point and fold it until you reach the other end. Then wrap it around your head or hat and tie the ends.

It is rare that celebrities such as Alexa Chung, Emma Watson and Sienna Miller, are photographed without a covetable vintage or contemporary scarf, donned with a quirky modern twist. It's no wonder that silk scarves have become so popular...

Sexy SCARF Tops!

A versatile scarf comes in many styles, colors, fabric and patterns under the sun. And if you choose to have a large scarf, you can turn this into a head-turning piece of sexy clothing. You can make it is a halter top, bikini or a toga.

Below are the instructions on how to do it:

HALTER TOP

·         Get a very large scarf to make a sexy halter top. Fold the scarf diagonally to make a triangle.

·         Hold the fabric so that the top point faces up.

·         Separate the ends of the top point and place it around your neck and tie a knot.

·         Finish it by placing the two other ends of the scarf around your back and tie them together.

 

BIKINI TOP

·         Go for a mega sexy bikini by folding a large scarf lengthwise as many times as you wish up to your desired thickness.

·         Place the scarf at the center of your back and bring the ends to the center of your chest, covering your breasts.

·         Make a knot between your breasts and adjust it if deemed necessary to securely cover your breasts.

 

TOGA

·         Make a cute toga-style top with a large rectangular scarf.

·         Place the scarf horizontally behind your back; Hold each end on each hand.

·         Wrap the fabric on left hand under your armpit.

·         Hold the end firmly on your shoulder top.

Top 3 Scarf Styles

Scarf_ascot_dolce_gabbana

A magnificent, adorable, multi-functional and versatile scarf can be worn in hundreds of ways. But I bet most of us only know at least one or two and at most 10 ways to wear it. A scarf is a staple in fashion and can be worn together with any kind of outfits whatever the season is. From a thin and light scarf to a knitted thick scarf, you can always find what you have been looking for. Below are the top 3 styles of tying a scarf.

1.       European loop – This scarf style is one of the most popular scarf styles. It is very easy to do and looks great on any clothes. It is best to use this style with a light- medium sized scarf. Here’s how to do it.

·         First, take a long scarf and fold it in a half crosswise.

·         Drape the scarf on your neck, the two ends and the loop in front of you.

·         Get the loose ends and slide it on the loop created by the fold.

·         Pull the ends up to your desired tightness.

 

2.       Ascot knot – This style is very common and I think you have already used this without you knowing that this is an ascot knot. This tie is very similar to how men wear their tie. Here’s how to do it:

·         Get a scarf and let it hang around your neck.

·         Let the left end hang over the right end

·         Then bring the left at the back of the right end.

·         Pull it up through the neck loop and bring down to let it hang.

·         If you want a tighter knot, loop the left end around the right end twice.

 

3.       Basic – As obvious as its name, this style is very basic and common, yet still stylish. This is technically not a knot, as what you need to do is just tuck, toss here and there. Here’s how to do it:

·         Get a scarf and let it hang around your neck, the ends hanging evenly.

·         Get the right end and pull it over the right end.

·         Then get the right end through the neck loop and throw it over the left shoulder.
