For a start, what is a small handkerchief. I propose to include with this group scarves ranging in size from 40 to 70 cm. These are scarves designed for one, usually with a margin for "beauty", a turn around the head, 1-2 turns around the neck, 3-4 turns around the wrist, and are not intended to transform into at least some essential clothing.
They, respectively, can be thin and soft (silk-satin, chiffon, crepe de Chine), denser (cotton and thin linen. The significant difference is not even in the material as such, but in the size of the knots that can be tied on such a scarf). I didn't come across warm ones, but you can understand this: what's the point in a warm handkerchief, it's still primarily for beauty.
How they are used (Something collected from Pinterest, something from Google search, I really liked the Hermès scarf tying cards, they are easily recognizable by the characteristic orange silhouettes at the top):
1. Usually they twirl something decorative and flirty around the neck (either naked, which is more often, or under the collar of a shirt / blouse). It is important to understand here that a scarf contrasting with the color of the skin will cut the neck and visually shorten it. To compensate for this effect, cutouts are needed that visually stretch the neck. This is where these everlasting neckerchiefs emerge with unbuttoned shirts, V-neck pullovers, dresses with deep long necklines and high collars, as well as short haircuts and raised hair. If a strip of neck skin is left over the scarf, the shortening effect is greatly softened, so if your neckline does not give a visual lengthening effect, use narrower folded scarves.

2.Use as ribbons and hair bands. here you can often come across bandanas, that is, cotton scarves. Note how the closeness of the scarf in color to the hair makes it a softer and more neutral accessory, while contrasting and bright scarves draw attention to themselves:

3. Being tied with knots, decorated with special rings and other things, they are used as jewelry (necklaces, bracelets). Jewelry of this kind is a godsend for elegantly sporty looks and looks with neutral-sporty shoes, intolerant of more explicit embellishments. And, of course, numerous derivatives of the hippie and boho style also come in handy.

4. They can, especially in the presence of special buckles, be used as belts and belts (we consider: a scarf 40 * 40 diagonally turns out to be 56 cm long, this is not enough even for the waist. But 55 * 55 is already 77 cm, here, especially taking into account the buckle is already enough for the waist, and 70 * 70 is already 99 cm, and such a "strap" is already enough for both high and low waist pants. , 41, and a small bow takes about 15 cm on each side)



5. Used as decoration on the bag. Large scarves are frankly inconvenient for this (a bag, no matter how you turn it, is not a very large object, and a full-size scarf is usually large for it)

The so-called shawl-square (from the French carre - square), that is, a square silk shawl, is considered a classic. The ancestor of such headscarves can be safely called the fashion house Hermès, which in 1928 presented the cult collection of headscarves that later became a cult collection.

It's no secret that the cost of a high-quality silk scarf (especially an original from Hermès!) Can be quite high. And there is an objective reason for this: according to Hermès employees, it takes ... two years to create one scarf. The development of the design can take six months, the engraver creates a stencil and special cliches (transparencies, onto which a sketch is transferred with a pen and black ink), the number of which corresponds to the number of colors in the design, and it can amount to dozens.

The finished engraving then goes through a long stage of computer processing: additional color variations are selected for the seemingly finished design in order to choose the ideal among them. The next step: printing the design on a roll of silk 150 meters long. One mistake (and it is not excluded) - and 150 meters of high-quality silk will be spoiled!

Finally, at the final stage, the finished product undergoes rigorous quality checks. It may seem that this stage is the easiest to overcome, but in practice censors do not know pity and really weed out scarves that do not meet the standard by 100%!

How to wear a silk scarf

Any bag, from a straw bag to a clutch bag, can be decorated with a silk scarf. The scarf will not be of practical use, but the accent is really elegant!

The scarf can be simply tied with a bow or braided around the handles.

But queens are getting old. And fashion, as you know, is changing. And today, in order to look good, a silk shawl alone is not enough.

But this does not mean at all that now you need to hide your beloved Hermes away in the closet. The shawl can be used and done in style. But a very important condition must be observed. All other things worn on you should be moderate (or very even) fashionable.

We complicate the task and wrap the scarf around the handle of the bag.

Thus, by the way, you can tie not only a scarf, but also the popular twilly ribbon that season.

INSTEAD OF A BELT

How do you like this option? And the waist is emphasized, and the scarf is in business, and we look like a real it girl!

You can also thread the scarf through the loops on and tie it with a knot. I can't think of a name for this method, but it looks definitely unusual. We take on arms!

ON FOOT

Summer version for lovers of jeans 7/8 length.

A BRACELET

To give the look a little touch, you can use a scarf tied around the wrist.

We are not shy and, in addition to a scarf, we put on our favorite watches and.

ON THE HEAD

And now I'll tell you how to use the scarf for its intended purpose, that is, on the head.

Option one - we wrap the scarf in a tight tourniquet and use it as a bandage. This trick looks best in. But it's also cool with basic things - the main thing is to combine everything harmoniously :) help you!

Option two - we use a scarf instead of a hair tie.

And another summer option, although street stylers wear it at any time of the year, and with basic clothes. We knit a scarf in the form of an oriental turban. You can see how to do this on youtube!

An option for brave girls who know about styles. The image immediately turns out to be a little bohemian :-)

Be stylish girls!

How to wear a scarf - a very feminine and a bit unusual item? A big mistake is made by those who neglect this accessory because of the stereotype of prescription.

Correctly selected and beautifully knitted, it favorably distinguishes its owner from the crowd of those who prefer to wear comfortable but faceless knitted hats and scarves.

It is the scarf, like no other element of the wardrobe, that is able to make the image fashionable, bright and sophisticated at the same time. Read our material to the end and get useful recommendations.

How to wear a scarf - fashion rules

For starters, there are three general rules of how to wear a scarf and look irresistible.

1. This accessory automatically focuses on the facial features. Therefore, in order for you to like yourself, a competent and complete make-up should always be paired with him. Pay special attention to your cheekbones.

2. If your face is not an oval reference, you will have to adjust the proportions with a handkerchief. Fortunately, there are many tying methods. For example, a high knot can visually stretch it.

3. Owners of a round or overly narrow face do not need to hide their hair completely under the headscarf. Having tied it, it is worth releasing a few strands or curls that will cover the cheeks or distract attention from the missing volume.

How to wear a scarf on your head

Shawls tied in the style of a turban go to charismatic and self-confident persons. The center of the fabric folded in a triangle is applied to the back of the head; free edges are intertwined over the forehead; the ends are hidden in formed folds or formed into a lush knot. The method is not easy, but very effective.

Young and daring in search of an answer to the question of how to wear a headscarf can try the pirate style. The ends of the scarf are tied over the fabric under the back of the head, remain free or shaped like a bow. Looks great on long hair!

Lovers of boho and ethnic style will surely like the gypsy style of wearing a headscarf. It resembles a pirate one, but the right angle, the knot and the ends of the fabric are on the side, approximately under the ear, and are shaped like a flower. The two traditional methods are described below.

How To Wear a Scarf With a Coat

A coat plus a beautiful scarf is an eternal combination and in most cases a win-win for a woman of any age. Looks elegant, feminine and very cute.

The easiest way is when the ends of the scarf are tied in a knot under the chin. Yes, he’s grandmother’s. But under the condition of a beautiful scarf and a cute face, it makes the bow touchingly feminine and dreamy romantic. Secret: the edge of the scarf should not be adjacent to the hairline; place it roughly halfway between the forehead and the crown of the head.

Another good and easy way to wear a scarf with a coat is to twist its ends under the chin and pull it back, fixing it with a knot at the back of the neck. In order not to remind yourself of a peasant woman, tie a knot not at the back, but at the side, and do not tighten it too tightly. This style of wearing distinguishes style icons such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Renata Litvinova. Want to add some polish to your look? Put on your sunglasses.

With a coat of a fitted silhouette, scarves tied with a turban look interesting and fresh. With jackets - pirate style.

How To Wear a Scarf With a Fur Coat

If you pick up a hat for a fur coat - an impossible task, with a scarf the issue is easier to solve. It is important to choose the right texture.

So, warm woolen knitted products look great with short fur coats. Suitable for uncomplicated everyday, casual looks;
the luxury and status of a mink or sable fur coat will be emphasized by a thick silk scarf;
variegated or pastel fabrics go to products made of light fur;

dark fur is well set off by light or intensely colored materials;
large fringed shawls look good with long fur coats of any style;
to create a complete look, the color of the material and the tone of the fur coat must overlap. An accent in the form of a contrasting scarf on the head is not a good idea.

To understand how to wear a scarf with a fur coat, you have to experiment a lot at home in front of a mirror. Long hair is a big plus! Owners of short haircuts are somewhat limited in their choice. Do not forget that you can call for jewelry - special rings, decorative pins, brooches. The result is a unique and memorable image - worth the effort!

If you believe the rumors, then scarves do not suit almost anyone. Anyway, to me
not a single girl has yet met who claims to like herself in them. But the first phrase, when it comes to scarves - “I really like it on you, on Masha, on Lena, but no, no! in them I look like a bright representative of the "Light Path" collective farm.

This has nothing to do with reality. Handkerchiefs suit almost everyone. Conversations about what exactly you have tried many times, turned them this way and that, but you still do not like the result, can hardly be considered objective.

Let me explain why.

For starters, shawls are not a self-sufficient thing. If you just try them on in a store, without a make-up and a more or less suitable outfit, then the impression is really not the most pleasant one. Try on a handkerchief once at home, after having done a full make-up. I assure you that the result will already impress you. A scarf, as you might guess, automatically focuses attention on the face. All irregularities, pimples and other delights will be in plain sight, therefore, competent makeup is needed. If there are no problems with the skin, then bright lips are enough. Makeup is essential anyway.

The next step is to figure out how best to tie it up for you. By inertia, girls usually approach this business in the following way: they take a scarf, tie it in a knot under their chin, and say that it “doesn’t suit them”. But in general, very few people like it. There are a lot of ways to tie it, look at the instructions in Google, there are a million links and pictures for it. The main thing is to try different options.

The most common mistake is to pull the scarf close to the hairline. It is best to place the edge of the scarf in the middle between the crown of the head and the forehead. But in any case, you need to try in different ways, here every centimeter plays a role. Like that:

Next, you need to understand which side the tails of the scarf should be. Should you wrap them around your neck, or just leave them dangling. There is no universal recipe, each appearance has its own version. Swarthy and dark-haired girls are best left dangling if there is no purpose to show religion. For blondes, this is not a matter of principle.

For example, let's take Lena Perminova, and imagine that she would have pulled the scarf closer to her forehead and tied it under her chin - all the gloss would have been licked off with her tongue, because Lena has large facial features, and if we add to them the tails from the scarf , it would have turned out to be a completely peasant girl.

The classics will look lonely.

For owners of bangs.

There is nothing worse than a bang strangely sticking out from under a scarf. There are interesting stylizations in the spirit of the USSR of the 60s, but this is a rarity. More often we can see something like this.

If the bangs are curly, then try to style them in the manner of Kim Kardashian.

Hair length also matters. The longer, the more interesting you can use the scarves. I really like this "bandaging" method:

Several ideas for a square. It doesn't matter what shape your face is. When making up, it is worth paying special attention to the cheekbones, to emphasize them.

The color of the scarf must necessarily overlap with the color of the clothes so as not to look foreign. An accent color from it is not the best idea. Also, the whole image should be built around the scarf, support it in every possible way. So that it doesn't work like Christina Aguilera:
