Oh thanks PerrySmile My dd's will love this! Reminds of one I posted once with different ways to tie a sarong.

(Juggling Fish tail plaits are easy and look a bit different)

ThingsThatGoFlumpInTheNight · 02/11/2011 14:04

I want one of those scarves. Found a link to other colours though - brown doesn't really do anything for me. Am very tempted by the purple - has anyone got one in a colour other than brown and what's it like? Recommendations please!

DrinkYourWeakLemonDrinkNow · 02/11/2011 14:06

I like the scarf too but if we all wear one it'll be like a secret mn badge won't it?Grin

FunnysInTheGarden · 02/11/2011 14:16

wow, so many ways, but they all look freakishly similar.......

So are they all stylish? Am I still OK with my European loop style scarf?

ThingsThatGoFlumpInTheNight · 02/11/2011 14:41

Hmm didn't realise I too have been doing the 'european loop' for years.

Don't really want to change now though - it fits really nicely in the nape of my coats & cardi's in that shape

Have just ordered the MN scarf in purple - couldn't wait for the recommendations in the end Blush. Someone will probably come along and tell me the purple is grim now...

Brown just doesn't suit me, btw - I've had my colours done and I'm a 'winter'.

Things and Funnys - I hope you have long necks. Trinny and Susannah say you can't do that one if you have a short neck. (I have a short neck)

ThingsThatGoFlumpInTheNight · 02/11/2011 14:52

I am a virtual giraffe Grin. And am 5ft 10 (all of me, not just my neck) so I think that helps.

schroeder · 02/11/2011 14:54

My neck is short and I do the european twist too, it's nice n tidy in my jacket.

Fuck trinny and pinny, I say, what do they know? All they do is is put on an outfit they don't like and stand badly with a grumpy face on- and then put on one they like and stand tall and smile.Hmm

FunnysInTheGarden · 02/11/2011 15:06

I have just assessed my neck with the help of a friend and we have agreed that I have a reasonably long neck. Phew.

I also do a kind of infinity loop thing but much prefer the ole EL

Popbiscuit · 02/11/2011 15:39

That's awesome! I have lots of gifted scarves that I have no idea how to wear; now I know! Thanks :)

caramelwaffle · 02/11/2011 16:24

Oh that is fantastic

melonsmaygotobed · 02/11/2011 17:09

I have had to buy one - purely on the strength of wanting to try all the styles on the video. Fantastic and thank you!

And the daft thing is we're off to Oz in December. But I will have a very stylish 7 weeks in the UK...

ManateeEquineOhara · 02/11/2011 18:21

Brill :) I am a 'European Loop' wearer too, but must now try some more!

Bunbaker · 02/11/2011 18:27

That has to be the most useful link I have seen on MN. Thanks. I only wish the film wasn't speeded up at the point the model shows a different technique.

I have a long neck and like to wear scarves to make it look shorter.

fretfree · 02/11/2011 18:29

I love the European Loop - really keeps your neck warm, but I have often wondered if it is not a bit dangerous if you are walking home at night: if someone grabs the scarf and pulls they will start choking you. Maybe I am just being a bit paranoid.......

latrucha · 02/11/2011 19:10

So, which is the trendiest, do we reckon?

gingeroots · 02/11/2011 19:34

Saltire · 02/11/2011 19:45

latrucha · 02/11/2011 19:46
