If there’s one accessory that I can’t live without, it’s a scarf. Scarves are an excellent way to add color, texture and even function to an otherwise simple outfit. You can add a pashmina to evening wear, a wool tartan scarf to keep warm, or a lightweight fashion scarf on the warmest of days. They are so versatile and something every woman should have a few of in their wardrobe.
Most of us only know a few ways to wear a scarf, but there are actually many that will give you added style with this simple garment. Check out this great list!

1. Braided Scarf
I absolutely love this style, and every time I personally wear it I get double looks, followed by women coming up to me and asking me to braid their own scarves! This is a perfect look if you don’t have an infinity scarf and have a long, flowy one. You’ll be braiding it jus like you would you hair!
I know that braiding a scarf may seem complicated, but it’s easier than you think. You only have to fold the scarf in half and place it around your neck!
Next, take the scarf’s loose ends and thread them through the loop without pulling it too tight. After this step, we must turn the loop and pass the loose ends again, repeating until there isn’t more scarf.
Don’t worry about the weight! If you wear a lightweight scarf, it won’t feel heavy or overpower your face.

5. Blanket Scarf
I’m not gonna lie, blanket scarves intimidate me! They are just so huge and bulky, and I’ve never been able to get them to lay right. But this is a great style that I have to try because it’s so easy! This particular style works best with square blanket scarves, so why not give it a go?
We can use a blanket scarf in different ways. If it’s classic, you can wrap it around your neck, letting the loose ends fall in the front and pulling the loop out away from your face.
Are you looking for a more original idea on how to wear a blanket scarf? Wear it as a shawl! If you have a rectangular scarf, you only have to fold it so it has a triangle shape.
After that, place the point where the two ends meet facing down against your back, letting the ends hang in front. It’s one of the easiest ways to wear a blanket scarf, but it can change an entire outfit, especially if we add other accessories, such as a belt.

This style is the newest trend in wearing scarves, and it really means WEARING. If you have a large blanket scarf (or even just an oversized pashmina or other large scarf), instead of wrapping it around your neck, tie across the shoulders and securing with a belt. This will keep you warm, fashionable and so unique!
The first time I wore my square scarf like a shawl, I thought: “I can make this even better!” and I was right!
I thought about how to wear a scarf in the most versatile way possible in any season and said: “Why not add a belt?” As soon as I Googled it, I found that many other women had this idea and found the inspiration I needed!
