How to wear a scarf

Scarves are one of the most versatile accessories you can own. Whether draped elegantly over your shoulders or tied casually around your neck, they add style and personality to any outfit. In this blog, you’ll discover how to wear scarves in different ways and find out which fabrics and styles work best for you.

How to tie a scarf

A scarf is one of the most versatile accessories you can own. Whether you’re adding a pop of color to your outfit or showcasing your own custom printed design, there are countless ways to wear it:

1. The Classic Loop
Fold your scarf in half, place it around your neck, and pull the loose ends through the loop. This style is simple, elegant, and keeps you warm.

2. The European Knot
Similar to the classic loop, but with a twist: instead of pulling both ends through the loop, pull only one end, then twist the loop and pull the second end through. This creates a chic layered look.

3. The Drape
Let the scarf hang loosely around your neck without tying it. This is perfect for lightweight fabrics like chiffon or silk and ideal for showcasing a full-surface printed scarf design.

4. The Wrap & Tuck
Wrap the scarf around your neck once or twice, then tuck the ends into the layers. It gives a cozy and effortless look that’s perfect for casual outfits.

5. The Bandana Style
Fold your square scarf into a triangle and tie it around your neck with the pointed end in front. This works beautifully with bold custom scarf prints.

6. The Headband
Fold the scarf lengthwise and wrap it around your head like a headband. It’s a playful way to wear your scarf on warmer days.

7. The Shawl or Shoulder Wrap
Drape a large scarf around your shoulders like a shawl or stole. Great for elegant evenings or as a cover-up in summer. It’s also a nice way to show off large-scale printed designs.

8. The neck scarf
Fold it diagonally into a triangle. Starting at the long edge, roll or fold it toward the point. Drape around your neck, tie loosely in front or tuck ends under. 

9. The Belted Sash
Wrap the scarf around your waist and secure it with a belt or simple knot. A perfect styling trick for turning a printed scarf into a fashion statement.

10. The Bag Accessory
Tie a small scarf to your handbag handle or strap for a stylish touch. This works especially well with scarves that feature detailed or logo-style prints.

 

 

Scarf for women

The most popular way women wear a scarf is the classic loop, or Parisian knot. It’s simple, stylish, and perfect for showing off your design. You fold the scarf in half, place it around your neck, and pull the ends through the loop.

The right fabric makes all the difference. Satin adds shine, chiffon and voile offer lightness, and recycled plain gives texture. At House of U, each fabric helps your printed design stand out.

All our scarves are easy to wash and care for, ensuring they stay beautiful for a long time. For our polyester scarves, we recommend washing at a maximum of 30°C, without using bleach. Avoid tumble drying to prevent shrinking or damage. Iron on a low temperature and preferably on the reverse side to protect the fabric and print. Following these care instructions helps keep your scarf in great condition wash after wash.
