5 easy ways to wear a scarf with a coat
Winter is here and it’s time to bundle up. What better way to stay warm and stylish than by pairing your coat with a scarf? Not only does a scarf add a chic touch to your look, but it also provides extra warmth. Here are five easy ways to wear a scarf with a coat:
The classic drape
This is the most traditional way to wear a scarf with a coat. Simply drape the scarf around your neck so that it hangs evenly on both sides, then tuck the ends inside your coat. This style works best with longer scarfs, like cashmere or wool.
The loop or infinity
For this style, you’ll need a scarf that’s long—about 70 inches or longer. Fold the scarf in half and loop the folded end around your neck. Then, take the loose ends of the scarf and thread them through the loop, creating a knot. Adjust the knot so that it sits comfortably against your neck. This style looks great with bulky coats.
The turtleneck
If you want to keep your neck and chest extra warm, the turtleneck style is perfect. Start by draping the scarf around your neck and then tie the two ends in a knot. Take the knot and pull it up towards your chin, so that the scarf covers your neck and chest. This style works best with thin scarves, like silk or cotton.
The belt
This style is perfect for when you want to accentuate your waistline. Start by draping the scarf around your neck so that the ends hang down in front of you. Then, take a skinny belt and wrap it around both the scarf and your coat. Adjust the scarf so that it sits just above the belt. This style works best with longer scarves, like oversized pashminas.
The asymmetrical
If you’re feeling a little adventurous, try the asymmetrical style. Start by draping the scarf around your neck so that one end is longer than the other. Take the longer end and loop it around your neck a second time. Then, adjust the ends so that one hangs down longer than the other. This style works best with thin scarves, like chiffon or jersey.
