A women showing how to wear a scarf 9 different ways

I don’t know about you, but I long for the fall weather to come. By the middle to end of summer I’m over the heat and ready for some cooler temps, lattes (especially pumpkin spice lattes), tall boots, and of course, scarves! A friend of mine tells me that there are 50 ways to tie a scarf, but there are only a few scarf looks that I really love. Today, I want to share with you a few different and fun ways you can wear scarves! Because wearing them the normal plain way is a little boring to me. Why not switch it up a bit?

I absolutely love scarves and actually just made a thrifted infinity scarf from a old sweater and made this short ombre one! I may have a few too many scarves, especially purple and pink ones for some reason. This post has been updated from the original 2013 version.

We are definitely needing some scarves here in southern Illinois, it’s freezing! Of course Monday was 71 degrees and then the next day was like 20! What do you expect!?

If you are shopping for some new scarves, I’m kind of obsessed with these adorable (and cheap) flannel ones for fall. Pair that with a cozy sweater and tall boots, and forget about it. Basically, my love language. Or how about these adorable floral scarves?

Just so you know I totally just made up names to some of these ways :)… Here we go!

  5. Thanks for this! I bought a cute scarf to dress up my outfit for maternity pictures, then realized I have NO idea how to make it look “chic” (and not just “warm”). I’m thinking #5, #7, or #8.

  16. Thanks for sharing!! I never can figure out how to wear a scarf. I may have to try #1…I always feel like I am choking when I wear a scarf…so maybe the twist will help with that.
