The scarf tying obsession

Scarf
Earrings: Kate Spade (similar) | Scarf: Express | Top: Express (old) (option) | Bracelets: Wrap (option), Spike (option) | Skinnies: 7 for all Mankind (similar) | Boot socks: Hue (option) | Boots: Corso Como (similar)

I first mentioned this scarf tying method in my post about the Zara scarf dupe. I've come to realize that while I love and adore that H&M scarf, I'm now addicted to this scarf tying method. All of a sudden *all* of my scarves have a little bit more life to them knowing they, too, can be tied this way. And no, your scarf doesn't need fringe to make this work - as long as you can tie two corners together, you're golden.


Seriously, I've donned scarves 3 times this week because I'm obsessed. So, I apologize in advance for milking this technique from now until spring! Even shorter scarves get a little bit more oomph.

Cardigan: JCrew (option) | Scarf: Gifted (option) | Sequin tank: JCrew (option) | Skinnies: Express (similar) | Booties: Sam Edelman (option)

And this scarf below is a little bit on the longer side, so I had to modify the tie just a bit.

Coat: Express | Scarf: Anthropologie | Sweater: Gifted (option) | Portofino: Express | Leggings: Express (option) | Boots: Frye (in Bordeaux)

Tying a scarf

Have I convinced you yet? I really cannot believe I have lived this long not knowing how easy this was! It definitely looks 34893498 times more complicated than it actually is. I was telling the husband that it's the same kind of mind blowing revelation as learning how to get my bun so big! Now I just can't go back to the regular way. The bigger, the fluffier, the better!

  1. That really does look very cool! It's always fun to learn a new way of tying scarves! I think I have about 3 or 4 ways that I usually stick to, but it almost feels like you got a whole new scarf when you learn a new way to tie it!

    1. Yes, it *totally* feels like a whole new scarf! I was getting bored with my scarf collection, but now I've got a newfound love thanks to this!

  2. I love this so much!! It completely changes the look of the scarf in the first pic (blue scarf). I'm going to pull out all of my old scarves and try it!!! Thanks for sharing!

  3. No need in apologizing about a scarf over-do. When it's cold, how will you protect your neck and how else can you make a cute outfit look even cuter??? You are the accessory queen. I love these outfits so much. Now I must copy them!

    1. A million ways, yet I had only basically done two techniques! Will definitely be doing more experimenting in the future!

  9. As you know, I'm scarf-tying challenge and had my scarf collection reduced to infinity scarves only. But I just got a gorgeous regular scarf from a friend for Christmas and it is begging to be tied in this way so THANK YOU for the step by step tutorial. P.S. Is your gifted scarf...the one from your MIL? I am jealous!

    1. Yes, I was the same - the Express leopard infinity scarf is the perfect low-maintenance scarf because it's fuller and hangs a little lower. This new-to-me method seriously has changed my scarf wearing life!
      And no, actually the gifted scarf was a secret santa gift from a shopping forum friend! It's super soft and fab! The MIL scarf is equally fab though!!!
