How to Tie Rodeo Cowl Style Scarf


How to Tie the Scarf:
Fold your rectangular scarf twice to form an "S" fold and lay the folded scarf over one shoulder so that one end of the scarf hangs down the back for about 1 foot. Fasten the scarf in place using the jewelry pin of your choosing. The pin should be placed between the breast and shoulder, but closer to the shoulder.

Scarf Style Needed: Rectangular (oblong) Scarf (120 cm long)

Drape the remaining length of the scarf loosely around the front of the chest and over the opposite shoulder.

Rodeo Ascot Wrap Scarf

This is a traditional scarf tying style, providing a conservative, yet sophisticated look. The style is excellent for summery skirt / pant suits where the addition of a blouse would be to warm for the climate.

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf (120 cm square)

Tying the Scarf:

Fold the square scarf diagonally from corner to corner. Drape the folded scarf around the neck, passing the folded corners back over the shoulders. Cross the folded corners behind the neck and bring them forward over the shoulders once more.

Draw the scarf to a snug fit around the neck and tie the folded corners together to form a simple knot or bow (your choice).

This scarf-tying style creates a very soft, feminine-looking accent to a suit, and is equally purposed for concealing décolletage in low-cut, jacketed dresses, and blouses.

How to tie the perfect neck wrap scarf.........
This is a smart, professional style of scarf-tying that makes for a simple accent to a business-suit, or elegant pant/skirt ensemble. This style looks best with a blouse bearing a high collar.

Scarf Style Needed: Rectangular (Oblong) Scarf (at least 80 cm long)

Tying the Scarf:

Take the oblong scarf and fold it twice to create an "S" fold. Drape the scarf around your neck so that the ends hang down the back. Cross the ends in the back and bring them back to the front. Loop the one end around the other in front and pull the ends back around to the back once more.

Knot the ends at the back of the neck and tuck any remaining length down the back of the blouse beneath the collar. The finished look is sleek and sophisticated.

TYING THE CROWN SCARF

How to tie the Crown Scarf to protect your hair

This style of scarf-wrapping is named for the fact that it forms a fabric crown over the head. It is an elegant-looking wrap and is a good choice for bad hair days.

Scarf Style Needed: Rectangular (oblong) Scarf

Tying the Scarf:

Drape the rectangular scarf over the head off-centered so that one end hangs much farther down the body than the other. Gather the ends of the scarf at the nape of the neck and cross them behind the head. Twist the longer end of the scarf to form a "rope" which should be laid along the front edge of the scarf approximately 1-2 inches from the edge (over the top of the head).

Continue the twist around to meet the other, shorter, end of the scarf and knot the two ends together. 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, out of sight. This is a terrific look for outdoor occasions or for anytime you want to create an exotic look and your hair won't cooperate.

TYING THE KELLY SCARF



How to tie the Kelly Scarf to protect your hair


Named for the famous American actress-turned-Princess of Monaco, Grace Kelly, this method of wearing a scarf was used to protect the hair-style and still look glamorous while traveling.

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf

Tying the Scarf:

Take the square scarf and fold it diagonally from one corner to its opposite. Place the scarf over the head with the folded edge facing forward. Bring the folded corners down under the chin and cross them, pushing the points back around the neck on each side.

In the back of the neck, gather the folded corners and tie them together, making sure to catch the loose corners of the scarf under the knot being formed. Leave the ends loose, or tuck them under as you prefer. Add a pair of tortoise-shell sunglasses and you'll be ready to slip past the paparazzi.

(Note: The Kelly can also be performed using the rectangular (or oblong) scarf for those times when you want to add more flair to the look.)
