Four Ways to Tie Your Silk Scarf
Are silk scarves generational? The stores are filled with them yet I see few young women wearing them. When they do, they’re styled in unique ways that I am experimenting with. I love the way a scarf can elevate a simple tee and jeans to a polished look. They save many a bad hair day while adding color and pattern to many of my neutral outfits.
The scarves I’m seeing this spring are in happy colors and fun patterns which suits my mood perfectly. I’m tired of gray, and black feels dreary, so adding a pop of color is just what I need.
Skinny, tie-like scarves are perfect to tie around your wrist, your neck, in your hair, or on the handle of your handbag.
Several of you have asked me to share a few ways that I tie them, so I have a short video for you today. This is a bit blurry, but you’ll get the idea.
Do you wear scarves?
Thanks for being here, and have a great day!
Hello Jennifer, when my kids were in high school I had a part time job serving with a catering company. I wore the white shirt and black pants as required but we could wear any color of necktie. Both men and women had the same dress code. I got so used to tying a necktie that I started using the standard knot with my large collection of scarves. It works with all but the smallest scarves, in silk, wool, cotton, rayon…Try it sometime and see if it works for you!

I love scarves and wear them all the time with tees/sweaters and jeans. It makes me feel more “ladies’ lunch” than “Costco” even if I am at Costco! I love the ease of the infinity loops, looped twice, that never come untied. However, there’s not a great selection of them. My favorite trick is to buy a pretty silk oblong, handstitch the ends together, and make my own infinity loop!
Great idea! I love infinity scarves too!
Great post. Loved the video! Such pretty scarves. I just had a friend give me a whole bag of different scarves, some of which will be perfect for spring. I am looking forward to tying a few like you showed. Thanks for the lesson! – Amy
Lucky you!
Being only 5’1″, I finally realized that the normal scarves are way too long for me….. ( And, I know I’m not talking about the scarves you are discussing today) but, I discovered that you can actually cut them off….they have a selvedge end and won’t unravel and you can fringe them just like they were originally. It’s amazing what cutting off 4-6 inches does do a petite girl…..You have such great ideas for us of a certain age! …..66 now but close to next birthday and body is a changing!
I know just what you mean. I was happy to discover this “banadana” size this week. Such a better proportion for me.
Jennifer…I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COMMENTS AND ENJOY YOUR TOPICS..i WAS WONDERING HOWEVER WHEN YOU ARE IN THE dressing room diaries’, WHY IS IT YOU DONT REVERSE YOUR CAMERA PHONE SETTING FOR YOUR SELFIES SO WE WONT SEE YOUR PHONE? AND WE CAN SEE YOU LOOKING FORWARD WITH THE OUTFIT YOU ARE FEATURING. P.S. scarves ARE MORE APPEALING WHEN THEY TIE AT LEAST ONE COLOR OF YOUR OUTFIT TO THE SCARF PATTERN..LIKE YOUR BLACK OUTFIT..EVEN WITH A SIMPLE BLACK BORDER ON THE SCARF THE OUTFIT WOULD LOOK MORE pulled TOGETHER….just A THOUGHT I WEAR A SCARF ALMOT DAILY AND REALLY APPRECIATE WHAT SCARVES CAN DO TO POLISH YOUR LOOK. and again I think you do a splendid job and are much appreciated…
I’m taking my Image in the mirror so you see the whole outfit. If I flipped it around you would only see the top half, if that. Scarves are a small weakness of mine;)
