Steps
Choose your scarf by the weather. A thin cotton or silk rectangle suits mild days, while wool or cashmere holds warmth on cold mornings.
Fold the scarf in half lengthwise so it sits about 15 cm wide. Drape it behind your neck with the loop on one side and the two loose ends on the other.
Make the loop knot: pull both loose ends through the loop, then tighten gently until the scarf sits flat against your collarbone.
For the simple once-around, drape the scarf so both ends hang evenly in front. Cross them once and bring the ends back over your shoulders.
Try the belted wrap. Open the scarf fully, drape it over both shoulders, then fasten a belt at your waist over the scarf to shape it.
For an infinity look, tie the two ends in a small double knot behind your neck. Loop the scarf twice over your head so no ends show.
Adjust the height of the knot to suit your coat. A knot at chest level adds warmth, while a low drape looks more relaxed.
Check both ends are even, smooth out wrinkles with your hands, and tuck any stray ends under the knot.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep the knot loose enough to slide one finger under it, so it never pulls on your neck.
Silk scarves slip easily, so use a double knot or tuck the ends into your coat.
Skip bulky knots with a thick coat collar, since the scarf will bunch up around your chin.
Questions
What is the best scarf for autumn?
A mid-weight wool or cashmere rectangle covers most autumn days. Keep a thin cotton or silk scarf for warmer afternoons.
How do I stop my scarf from slipping off my shoulders?
Cross the ends once behind your neck or use the loop knot. A belt over the scarf also keeps a wide wrap in place.
Can I wear these knots with a puffer jacket?
Yes, but keep the scarf slim and the knot high. Thick knots bunch up under a padded collar.
