How to Tie a Men’s Scarf?
Because it’s crucial to master this garment, we’ve shown six of our favorites in this video and in the diagrams below.
Scarf Knot Style: the City Slicker
A straightforward knot that keeps your scarf neat and hassle-free.
- Fold the scarf in half lengthwise and wrap it around your neck
- Incorporate the frayed ends into the fold’s loop.
While traveling, the City Slicker knot is convenient and simple to modify.
This classic knot also keeps your scarf on, and in place.
If you ride a motorcycle, a bicycle, or like to roll down your windows while driving, this is particularly important. Even summer scarves are ideal for the City Slicker knot.
It gives your outfit a polished, put-together touch.
Scarf Knot Style: the Weekender
In Shanghai, Paris, and Rome, you’ll most likely see people wearing a casual scarf knot.
- Start wrapping the long end around your neck from the front, near your neck, and continue until it is only a short distance away.
- Put the scarf’s ends inside the wrapped scarf.
- Make the knot fluffier for more volume.
This knot is ideal for top-down joyrides and windy days.
Scarf Knot Style: the Ivy-Leaguer
The first choice whenever you want to add color and for formal attire.
There are two variations:
- The scarf may be worn draped over the shoulder (Step 1)
- Or tucked into a buttoned jacket/blazer (Step 3)
Go with this style when sporting an opera scarf over a tuxedo or dinner jacket.
Depending on how long the scarf is, this style will be used. Think carefully about whether the resulting appearance is appropriate if the ends of the scarf hang below the bottom of your jacket.
When wearing a topcoat , we do not recommend wearing a scarf under the lapels–a common but unfortunate arrangement.
When wearing topcoats and outerwear, either tuck the scarf inside (as in Step 3) or choose a different knot design.
Scarf Knot Style: the Connoisseur
The knot used for an ascot is similar to the Connoisseur knot.
- Lay the scarf around your neck, such that both ends are parallel in the front
- Bring one end over and then under the other end
- Depending on the length you prefer, drape the front end over the back.
- Step 4 explains how to wear this style loosely outside of your clothing or tucked into a sports coat or blazer.
If one is wearing it snug-and-inside (In step 5), scarves made of silk or knit work best. The Connoisseur is another suitable knot for those riding a two-wheeler or riding in an open-top car because it is a secure knot.
Scarf Knot Style: the Sophisticate
This knot perfectly straddles the line between being well-put-together and unconcerned.
- Drape the scarf around your neck, leaving one end shorter than the other
- Once, or twice if you want a chunkier appearance or more bundling, wrap the longer end loosely around your neck.
- The length can be altered to suit your preferences, but leaving one end a little longer than the other creates a more natural and unplanned appearance.
Winter outerwear pairs well with the Sophisticate.
The best way to wear a lightweight linen scarf in the summer may be with a T-shirt and blazer or T-shirt and cardigan outfit because it will act as a slight buffer when an onshore breeze blows or the cafe AC gets a little too chilly.
Scarf Knot Style: the Jet Setter
This style maximizes the motion impact of your scarf.
- It’s just a loose drape around your neck with one end being shorter than the other; there isn’t a knot in sight.
- The longer end of the scarf should be draped across your front neck and over the opposite shoulder.
If the scarf is particularly long, wrap it once around your neck before tucking it behind your shoulder. One of the most informal looks, it effectively conveys activity and mobility; think of it as a traveling scarf.
