12 Ways to Style A Scarf

A silk square scarf has become a staple in my closet for years now and I don’t see it ever rotating out. It’s as timeless as it is chic. I always pack one or two with me when I travel to add instant glam and polish to any look. Watch this segment of Twin Cities Live to see 12 different ways to style a scarf – including 5 ways as a swimsuit cover-up.

Look Number 1

Look for multi-colored or double-sided scarves that will give you multiple styling options depending on how you fold it.

Fold it in a triangle, wrap it around your neck and then tie it in the front.

Fold it into a strip and then tie it around your wrist as a bracelet

Fold it into a strip and tie once around a low bun or pony.

Look Number Two

Look for a large silk scarf with different patterns on each quadrant for endless wrapping options.

Fold it into a strip and run it through the loops on your belt bag.

Fold it in a triangle and tie it at the nape of your neck letting the ends hang down in the back.

Fold it into a strip and bring it around from the back so that the ends are facing the front, knot them once at the top of your forehead and then again in the back. If it’s not long enough to knot in the back just tuck the ends into the side.

My Look

This is as basic as it gets for me.

Fold it into a strip and tie it around your ankle with your crop flares and mules for a fresh spring look

Sweater (super soft, comes in other colors) | Old Navy High Rise Crop Flares (an inexpensive way to test a new denim style if you haven’t already jumped on board with this major trend)| Scarf (vintage, similar size and colors here) | Velvet Mules | Stella & Dot Heart Hoops

5 Ways To Style a Sarong

Finding a swimsuit cover up that doesn’t make you feel frumpy can be quite a challenge, which is why I’m swapping mine out for an oversized cotton scarf instead. You can adjust the coverage throughout the day depending on how much or how little skin you want exposed.

The last two looks I made up on the fly as I was trying to come up with something different to show and I have to say they just might be my favorite ones! I love a happy accident style moment.
