I love scarves, as do many other women. But I get tired of wearing them the same way all the time. Lucky for me, and now you, I found a great
website with chic illustrations showing some great ways to incorporate scarves into more of your outfits. Below are some of my favorites~

Butterfly Wrap |
A beautiful way of tying a scarf, accenting the elegant you. Can be sported with any outfit in your wardrobe.
Step 1 | Fold the scarf using the basic fold 3. |
Step 2 | Let it hang around your neck with roughly one third of the scarf on one side (A) and two-thirds on the other (B) and cross these as illustrated. |
Step 3 | Bring A upwards to make it pass through the cross so that a sort of loop is formed. |
Step 4 | After tossing A underneath B, let it pass through a second loop again. |
Step 5 | Now when you pull one end firmly, you’ll get your butterfly wrap ready! |

Casual |
A lovely scarf tying style; ready in a manner of seconds. Suitable to be worn with any outfit; the minimum effort required to get this style ready is the cause of its immense popularity.
Step 1 | Fold the scarf according to the basic fold 3. |
Step 2 | Let it dangle around your neck with one side (B) a bit shorter than the other (A). |
Step 3 | Take A and after crossing it over B let it pass from under B so that a sort of loop is formed. |
Step 4 | Bring A towards the neck again |
Step 5 | After letting A go around the neck, bring it down again and let it pass through the loop that was made before (in step 3). |
Step 6 | Your casual wrap is ready! |
|
Crown Wrap |
This is a relatively informal but stylish way to cover the head, named so because it creates a fabric crown over the head. An oblong scarf is needed for this wrap style.
Step 1 | Drape the rectangular scarf over the head off-centered so that one end hangs much farther down the body than the other. |
Step 2 | Gather the ends of the scarf at the nape of the neck and cross them behind the head. |
Step 3 | Form a rope by twisting the longer end; then lay along the front edge of the scarf approximately 1-2 inches from the edge (over the top of the head). |
Step 4 | Continue the twist around to meet the other, shorter, end of the scarf and knot the two ends together. |
Step 5 | The ends can be left loose to drape over or behind the shoulder, or may be guided along the back of the head and tucked under the scarf. |
