Here are 9 original and elegant ways to wear a scarf
Classic ways to wear a scarf
The classic buckle can be a very chic and elegant way to wear a scarf. Men like to wear scarves like this, because the knot is very comfortable and easy to tie. You can wear this knot tighter for winter days and looser when the weather is better.
Original ways to wear a scarf
The French knot is a really original and elegant idea for wearing a scarf. Just a few flicks of the wrist, and you’re done. Ideal for the winter to protect yourself from the cold while still maintaining an elegant look. The scarf is worn close to the neck, to provide warmth and comfort. A sophisticated knot that will leave your friends speechless!
To make this knot, fold your scarf in half, end to end, then pass one side through the loop you have created, and then the other side through the inverted loop.
Wear a scarf with a hint of fantasy
The slip knot is great for a casual style. We recommend it if you want to add a hint of fantasy to your look. It is worn very loosely, just to bring color or pattern to your outfit. We advise wearing a scarf this way in mid-season because it does not keep you warm.
Like a rolled-up turtle neck
This is a very original and elegant way to wear a scarf. For this technique, you will need a scarf made of a thin material like cotton. It will add a nice effect to your outfit and give you a nice, insulated feel. Try with a striped scarf for perfect results! Roll the scarf on itself and wrap it around your neck, you can leave a small section protruding out to add style.
An elegant chic style
For a wedding, baptism, cocktail party, or evening event, simply let your scarf fly around your neck. For this to work, you will need a large, very light silk stole…and a bit of wind and movement! La Fabrique d’écharpe makes a 70x200cm stole made of 100% powder pink silk that would be perfect for this.
The asymmetrical wrap
For this you need a large, slightly thick stole, for example the Montreal wool/silk/cotton stole made by La Fabrique d’écharpe. Completely unfold the scarf and you wrap it around your shoulders like a shawl. One side goes in front and the other in the back. The effect is very elegant, the stole moves on your shoulders as you move. It wraps around you for a look that is very trendy this year. This is another way to wear your scarf in an original and elegant way.
The back-knot shawl
A shawl tied from behind is an original and elegant way to wear a scarf. Perfect for pairing with an elegant dress to keep warm while remaining elegant. This style is especially good for weddings, with a flowing silk stole. Great over a wedding dress to cover your shoulders, it will give a refined style to the whole ensemble. To do this, take a large scarf or stole, put it on your shoulders, with the two sides in front, take the two sides and tie them behind your back at waist level. In this case, you can do this knotting with very light scarves such as silk muslin but also with thicker cotton or wool scarves.
Scarf pairs
Not a knot but a way of being really original while remaining chic and elegant, combine two scarves or two stoles and wear them together, the effect is remarkable. Moreover, La Fabrique d’écharpe offers SILK DUOS by creating combinations of printed silk scarves paired with plain silk scarves for an elegant, soft look.

Those who are really into fashion know well that a scarf is not only to be worn around the neck, but also in your hair as a turban, on your handbag, or as a belt! It’s up to your imagination!
