1. French Knot
Elegant and charming, the French knot can be easily done in three steps. A French knot looks elegant on most necklines and most dresses. Try one to make heads turn. Begin by wearing the scarf around your neck’s front portion such that both ends hang at your back. Wrap your neck in front with both ends forming a loop. Loosen the loop until you are comfortable and tie one loose knot. Make a subsequent tighter knot to complete the look.
2. Half Bow
For a very chic and casual look, try the half bow. Place the scarf on your neck’s front part and wrap both ends around and bring them from the back to the front. Make adjustments so that one end is longer than the other. Next, take the shorter end and wrap it over the top part of the longer end. Pull the short end all the way up through the knot until you create a half bow. You can now pull the bow to position it either on the side or the front.
3. Layered Knot
If you are looking for a scarf that protects you from cold and matches your formal attire, you can try the layered knot. A cashmere scarf looks beautiful when done in a layered knot style. Begin by wearing the scarf on your neck with ends hanging at the back. Wrap ends and bring to the front forming a loose loop. Take one end and cross over the other to make a knot. The end hanging in the front should be adjusted to be longer than the other and use the longer end to cover the shorter one. Adjust the loop to cover the knot and make a tail in front.
