How To Tie A Scarf

A beautiful scarf adds glamour, class and sophistication to a simple attire, which maybe a dress, skirt and blouse, formal shirt and trousers, casual jeans and top or the Indian salwar kameez. But then it is all about how you wear it. Though sometimes one is required to let it just fall over the shoulders as the entire garment get up requires it, most often it is tied in a way to further enhance the basic style.

If you are one who likes wearing indian scarves then you should learn how to tie a scarf. Some companies where it is a part of the dress code are taught how to tie a scarf, as there should be no difference in the knots and style. This is more so in the airline and hospitality industry.

However, here are some ways in which you can tie a scarf for that complete look.

You could tie a small scarf around your neck with the knot either in front or on either side

Your triangular scarf could be draped with one pointed end at the back and the other two ends tied together in front, making it look like a cape. Alternatively you could tie it over one shoulder with the free pointed end falling over the other shoulder.

In formal settings where you are required to wear a indian scarf over a shirt, it is preferred that you tie it the cowboy style. This is where the scarf is either triangular or a square folded into a triangle, the pointed end is in front, with the knot tied behind under the collar.

You could tie it as a head scarf either to make a fashion statement or protect your hair from damage.

There is so much one can do with this piece of clothing. In fact it is more exciting when you accessorize it.
