Four ways to style a blanket scarf

During the cold winter months, the blanket scarf is one of the most versatile accessories to have in your wardrobe.

It might be labelled a scarf, but it’s so much more than just a neck warmer. The blanket scarf can be tied, draped, belted and rolled up to serve many sartorial purposes.

Here are just a few ways to play with your blanket scarf to achieve a multitude of looks.

The Bird’s Nest

Step 1: Fold your scarf diagonally in half so it forms a triangle.

Step 2: Drape it around your neck so the triangle faces your front, then wrap the two ends around your neck with the ends ending up at the front again to achieve a bird’s nest appearance. It should look somewhat messy.

The Knot

Step 1: Again, fold the scarf in half so it forms a triangle.

Step 2: This time, start rolling the scarf from the base of the triangle to the tip.

Step 3: Now wrap the rolled scarf around your neck so that you end up with the two ends on either side of your neck.

 
 

Step 4: Tie a little knot with the ends to finish off the look

The Cape

Step 1: Fold your scarf in half so it forms a triangle.

 
 

Step 2: Drape it over your shoulders so the point of the triangle is on your back and the two other points sit on either side of your body.

The Drape and Belt

Step 1: While your scarf is draped over your shoulders similar to how a cape would look, belt it around your waist.

Step 2: Adjust the scarf to your liking.
