9 Ways To Wear A Wool Scarf
Swing It To A Side
If you are wearing a thick wool scarf and actually want to show off the scarf then just swing one end over the other on the opposite shoulder.
This way you do not have to worry about how to wrap the scarf and keep it intact. Every time you feel like the scarf is loose just fix it.
This effortless way of wrapping the scarf goes really well with casual outfits. But you cannot say that this is a casual way of wrapping. This wrapping style looks elegant and classy.
It looks like you have embraced the thickness of the scarf and it just flows really well with the rest of the outfit.
Wear It As a Front Wrap
This style of wrapping a wool scarf is not really new. Women in India wear their scarf (dupatta) for ages this way. This wrapping style is modest but it does not look sloppy. And in winter Indian women use woolen scarf or shawls to wrap them this way over their outfit.
This covers the front. And if you are worries that it’s going to fall, pin a brooch to one side to hold the scarf in place.
This way you are accessorizing your outfit further and it looks classy. I love the way the scarf compliments the floppiness of the dress. And because its in a contrasting color, it elevates the look.
Wear It As A Headwrap
Whether you have a chunky wool scarf or a fine knit wool scarf. In both cases you can create this chic look. Just coordinate the color of the scarf with your outfit, so everything looks cohesive.
Wrap the scarf loosely around your neck, so you can use the back side as a head covering. This is perfect for modest ladies as well as for those of us who don’t want our hair ruined in the wind or snow weather.
Add sunglasses and see how your outfit looks complete. You are comfortable, cozy and look stylish.
Wear It Over Your Coat
If you want to carry a scarf for emergencies, but you have no space in your bag, you can simply wear it over your coat. This is also a fun way to accessorize your outfit and look polished.
Adding a wool scarf that either compliments or contrasts your outfit will create a signature look without the scarf looking like an off piece.
If you are wearing a beanie, match the scarf color with it to create a cohesive outfit. Or you can match the scarf with any other accessory you are wearing.
Wear It Over Your Sweater
You can also wear a wool scarf just over your sweater as a simple hanging around your neck in not so cold weather. This will add more detail to your outfit. And will fill the gap of wearing a third layer if it’s not that cold to wear one.
Simply pick a contrast or matching shade, so your outfit looks interesting. The scarf makes even your casual outfit look put together and thoughtful.
And also provides an extra layer if the weather shifts.
Wear It As a Shawl
The classiest way to wear a wool scarf is if it’s thick enough to wear as a shawl with a single wrap. This way of wearing a scarf looks elegant and all sophisticated ladies wear it like this.
Whether you are wearing a dress, jeans, pants or joggers, try wrapping a scarf like a shawl around your neck and shoulders and see how it transforms the outfit into a put together look.
And it’s a cherry on top is if you can match your tops color with the color of the scarf. This way everything looks like an infinite piece.
Wear It Under a Puffer Coat
Puffer coats are tough to style. They always look like a blob. Whether you tie a belt around it or not. But you can easily style them and elevate your outfit by adding a contrasting long thick wool scarf.
Now, you can try this with all colors of puffer coat except any pattern ones. Simply hang the wool scarf under the puffer coat. So, when you have your puffer coat open, you can see the scarf.
This easily elevates the leggings and sweaters which most of us wear underneath so we can wear tall winter boots.
Wrap The Scarf Loosely Around Neck
If you have your hair pulled back and wearing oversized sweater, adding a thick wool scarf is a smart way to balance your outfit. This way your head does not look tiny that can make you look bulky.
And this way of wrapping the scarf around the neck will help you get away with unsettled hair easily. Just put it back in a bun and add the scarf.
You can use this trick on all wool scarves that are bulkier.
Tie the Wool Scarf In A Knot
This is not the most unique idea on how to wear a wool scarf. We have seen this before. But we have always been used to doing this on fine knit wool scarves which ruins the whole style of the scarf and the outfit.
Instead do this with a thick wool scarf to add more detail to your outfit. But this look will appear frumpy on cable knit scarves. Just pick this wool scarves that dont have knitting patterns.
You can either tie the know on the side or in the front depending on how thick the scarf is.
This is such a functional and modern way to cover your neck and protect it in the cold.
