Everything About Scarves!

A scarf is brilliant piece of clothing worn around the neck, head, or waist to keep warm or cool. It is also used to cover the head and neck for religious purposes. There are so many kinds of scarves and they vary in sizes, shapes, colors, fabric and design. Historically, it is believed that it is the Romans first used scarves to wipe their faces and neck during the summer. Scarves are called sudarium in Latin which means sweat cloth. Originally, it was the men who wore scarves. But now, scarves are also commonly worn by women. Since the 19th century, scarves have become a staple as a fashion statement for both men and women.

Scarf knitting has also become a source of trade in some countries. Scarves, which are knitted by the hand, are truly appreciated and are a popular gift item. Some of the high quality fashion designer brands of printed scarves are Hermes, Dior, Chanel and Prada. Scarves are sometimes also worn with school uniforms and some athletes or sports lovers, to identify their teams. There are many kinds of scarves; there are plain and printed scarves and there are hand-knitted. Some scarves are also made of cotton, polyester, rayon, wool and satin. Cashmere and pashmina silk scarves are commonly worn at special and formal events. Scarves are typically used for their functional uses including climatic conditions and the exposure of the environment. Scarves are very essential during winter as they are used to keep people warm. During the warm seasons, people wear head scarves and bandanas to protect their heads from the scorching heat of the sun. If one’s hair becomes dry from sun exposure, a head scarf really helps you avoid getting spit ends and dry, frizzy hair. Scarves can also be worn as a skirt or around a skirt. They can also be worn on the waist as a belt to your jeans or pareo. A very small scarf can be worn to tie your hair. You can use it as an accent to your ponytail. These days scarves are prominent to men and women to signify a high taste of style and fashion.

Your Guide To Scarf Tying

Undeniably, a scarf is a truly versatile accessory. Because of its wide variation in sizes, shapes, colors and styles available in the market, a scarf is the perfect accessory that we all should not miss, no matter what the season or time or event is. Scarf tying is not as hard as some people think. Actually, there are even lots of scarf tying techniques available on the internet for you to follow and they are very easy to learn.

Before I teach you some of the best scarf tying techniques, I would like to go over three basic folds.

·         Straight fold

1.    Lay the scarf on a flat surface, the wrong side facing up.

2.    Get one edge and fold it towards the center.

3.    Get the other edge, and meet it to the center with the folded edge

4.    Roll the scarf on your desired width.

·         Bias Band Fold

1.    Lay the scarf on a flat surface, the wrong side facing up.

2.    Get one pointed edge and fold it towards the center.

3.    Get the opposite pointed edge and meet it to the center with the folded pointed edge.

4.    Continue folding the folded edges until you reach the desired width.

·         Triangle fold

1.    Lay the scarf on a flat surface, the wrong side facing up.

2.    Fold the scarf diagonally to make a triangle.

3.    Then get the pointed edge and fold it.

4.    Roll it towards the end.

Below are some of the popular scarf tying techniques you might like to apply on your scarves.

·         Ascot Wrap – This scarf technique is very easy and can be used for all occasions.

1.    Get a square scarf and do a bias band or straight fold.

2.    Hang your scarf equally on your shoulders.

3.    Get one end and wrap it around the other.

4.    Bring it up to make a knot.

5.    Adjust both ends to make them hang equally.

·         Twice around Ascot Wrap – This technique is just the same as the ascot wrap but you need to do the wrapping twice. This technique works best with a long scarf or a bias band folded scarf.

1.    Let the scarf hang on your shoulder, one end longer than the other.

2.    Get the longer end and wrap it around your neck and hang again your front.

3.    Get again the longer end and wrap it around the other end.

4.    Pull up to make a knot.

5.    Adjust both ends to make them hang equally.

·         Bow Tie – This technique is good to match with a business suit. Ace your business deal by wearing this confident look.

1.    Do the bias band or triangle fold.

2.    Drape the scarf around your neck. Make one end hanging two inches longer than the other.

3.    Cross the longer end over the other. Pull the longer end up to make a knot.

4.    Double wrap the shorter end by itself to form a base loop in front.

5.    Loop the longer end over the center loop you made.

6.    Double wrap the longer end by itself and insert it on the loop behind your bow tie.

7.    Adjust the tie by pulling the ends to straighten the knot.

·         European Loop – This technique will give you a sophisticated look. It can be worn during the casual days or on working days.
