How to wear a scarf so I don't look like a flight attendant or Russian peasant?

I have been given a beautiful and ££££ scarf - I would love to wear it but have no idea how. It's a square 27''x 27" (70cm). Any ideas?

Thanks

Look on YouTube - some good videos with loads of ideas Smile

I second jamster's suggestion. Wendy's look book is great - 25 ways to wear a scarf.

Thank you. The Wendy look book is really helpful but for a longer scarf. I did find a video for square scarves but some of the ideas are a little mental - platting your hair and scarf together? A turban! Might give those ideas a miss.

Try pinterest maybe?

How about this website? There are links to different knots on the right. Although I think it helps that she is naturally glamorous and very beautiful. I have tried copying and always look like an air hostess so the Hermes goes back in its box each time!

I second Titan, I have actually bought two scarf rings from Maitai, and I don't look like a flight attendant!

Third cheer for MaiTai - she is fantastic with knots and ways to wear scarves.

Yes! I clicked on here to suggest MaiTai's blog, too Smile

I always fall back on the Mary Berry way - there are a couple of threads on here, or just google Mary Berry scarf ( try not to be distracted by the auto-complete of Mary Berry scones! Grin)

Isn't tying it on your handbag a thing? I'm sure I've seen somewhere that actually sells handbags with scarves already tied on them if you can't manage it yourself!

The accent of the French woman doing the Liberty scarf demo is divine!

I like the MaiTai knots - no sure if I'm up to the scarf ring level yet. That show serious commitment to scarf wearing.

I like Mary Berry scarf trying, but the scarf I have is not long enough.
