Silk scarves instantly add an element of glamour to any look. But that one question always remains: how do I tie it? Sabina Les, the founder of SL Designs, is a pro at wearing her gorgeous silk scarves many different ways. So I asked her to show ThinkThruFashion readers how to get the most out of their scarf purchases. With her easy steps, wearing one scarf five different ways is a cinch. And if you’re in New York for Fashion Night Out this Friday, buying these printed beauties just got 30% less expensive with the promotional code FNONY.
Here are Sabina’s tips on how and when to wear a long silk scarf…
1. Fashionable Knot Look
This scarf look makes a great relax and professional look at the same time and works well with open neck lines and form fitting tops and dresses.
Step 1. Fold 10″x60″ long oblong scarf in half and make a wide knot if the middle of the scarf.
Step 2. Wrap the scarf around the neck with the knot centered in the front and hang the ends in the front.
Step 3. Loop both ends through the knot to achieve an elegant and fun big knot tie look.
2. New Scarf Choker Look
This style makes an updated scarf chocker look that looks great with a button down shirt or an open neckline.
Step 1. Fold 10″x60″ long oblong scarf in half and wrap around your neck with both sides equal and make a knot on one side.
Step 2. Loop one side through the knot in the front and twist both sides.
Step 3. Wrap twisted sides around the neck and tie in the back to create a choker look with a knot in the center.
3. Scarf Around Bag Straps Look
Long oblong scarf adds an extra elegance to any fashionable, sport or casual bag.
Step 1. Fold 10″x60″ long oblong scarf in half.
Step 2. Tread the scarf though the straps and make a loop on one side.
Step 3. Loop loose ends through the loop and tighten and let the ends hang on the side.
4. Scarf as a Wide Belt Look
This is an easy look for updating the “belt” look and give it more feminine look.
Step 1. Take a long oblong 10″x60″ scarf and wrap it around your hips with both sides equal and make a knot.

Another easy to create look and works great with every hairstyle and face shape.

I like it! I only have two scarves (the long and narrow kind) and I don’t wear them nearly enough. I might try to wear one as a belt through belt loops on a safari-style jacket.
Also, I’ve used my longer scarves as a really simple, mostly baby-proof nursing cover. Yay, that!
That’s a great idea on how to use your scarf!

I rather like the choker idea. Nice look. I also wear a long scarf under the collar of a jacket. It works particularly well if the scarf ends are the same lenght as the jacket itself.
