How to wear a scarf????

[lucysmam]

As in a nice, decorative one, not a going out in the snow kind of one

I bought 2 yesterday to brighten my wardrobe up a bit but not sure the best way to wear them without looking like a little old lady

Anyone give me any hints/tips? Although I appreciate it may be difficult without visuals

Ta

look on youtube, clear and simple instructions of the diffrent ways you can wear them

Thats how i learnt to dress mine : )

I usually wear mine in one simple loop at the collar, or put on back to front, cross over and bring ends round to the front, sometimes pin a brooch on too.
I like square scarves the best, they make a nice triangular shape round the neck.
Mmmm, I like having a warm neck, and it hides my Deidre.

off to youtube & will experiment in the morning. Thanks

Liberty do great tutorials:

Erm, what's a Deidre? Is it a wattle?

I'm a big fan of the "European Loop with a Twist".

Fold a long scarf in half and drape the folded scarf around your neck.

Instead of bringing both ends through the folded end (which gives you the standard "European Loop"), bring one end through the loop from one side, and one from the other side, then arrange to suit.

It makes for a lovely twisty look, and people often comment and ask me to show them how it's done.

I'm pretty sure I first heard about it on MN....

CointreauVersial, I'm off to try that one (should be doing other stuff but ... you know) .

Cointreau, I'll try that in the morning when I get dressed, thanks & thank-you too EenyMeenyMaya, I'll copy & paste in a bit
