Chiffon, satin, silk, cashmere, knitted fabric. These are only the basic types of fabrics from which neck scarves, bandanas, scarves, and snoods are made today. Some serve to protect against piercing winds, others cool in the heat and save from the sun. Of course, such a feminine and flirtatious part of the wardrobe should be in the arsenal of any fashionista. But before you get it, we’ll try to understand not only what to wear it with, but also how to tie it with taste.
Ways to tie a scarf around the neck
For the first attempts, you should choose the shape of a regular, equilateral square, with it it will be most understandable and easy to master the basic types of folding palatines and scarves.
Harlequin
To start, fold the scarf in half.
We place it on our shoulders as follows:
- The fold should be located farther from the neck than the edges of the scarf;
- We connect the corners with a classic knot. The edge located outside is bent up to the middle;
- Now we bind the ends, which remained outside, with the main knot. With this method of knitting, two wearing options are possible - by placing the knots forward, as well as moving them to the convenient side.
IMPORTANT: This option looks most advantageous when the scarf quite tightly wraps around the neck.
Ascot
Quite ascetic, strict, but at the same time elegant, the Ascot knot is considered. Take a large scarf measuring 90 by 90 cm. It can be made of silk, shining satin or weightless chiffon. But a cashmere or fine wool product is also suitable. This option will look harmoniously with a classic men's jacket, as well as with a women's coat, jacket or medium-sized knit vest.
Before proceeding to the scheme of knitting a scarf, it is necessary to learn how to fold a scarf with a “tie”. This useful skill will be useful in the future, because on its basis a larger number of stoles is tied.
- Put the scarf on the wrong side up.
- First, turn the lower right corner to the center, then the opposite. 3. Further, we turn each bent side towards the center again.
- And now we fold the canvas in half, and it becomes a thin and narrow strip of fabric. It is this tape that serves as the basis for folding scarves in various variations.
Important! You can always adjust the width of the tie strip by increasing or decreasing the number of folds.
We pass directly to the Ascot node itself. This option is comfortable to wear both in women's and men's wardrobe. Be sure to try to master it.
- We place the obtained “tie” around the neck as follows: one end should go down about 20 cm below the other.
- Tie a classic knot.
- We place the longer side of the scarf on top and make a loop, we wind the end inward
- Bring the ends of the scarf to the sides, thereby tightening the knot, and remove the ends behind the neck and hide under the clothes.
Weaving
Help ! You should carefully consider the choice of colors, because it can be based both on contrast (contrasting warm and cold colors) and harmony (for example, weaving scarves of the same color, but of different saturation)
Note the trendy ways to wear large stoles this season:
- we fill under the belt or belt on the dress (it is desirable that the dress is monophonic, so it will create a good background on which the scarf will be an undeniable accent);
- placing on the chest as a multi-layered necklace in which each row is slightly higher than the previous one;
- wrapped around the neck and tied to several knots just below the chest line;
- draped over the head as a hood, with ends wound over the shoulders (this option looks very feminine and mysterious, if you combine it with the classic style in the wardrobe. A coat that is straight cut or a trench coat will work well).
