The Art of the Scarf
Who knew there were so many ways to tie a scarf?

The winter breeze has finally set sail and we can now flaunt our favourite looks of the season. This year, large, plaid, blanket scarves have become all the rage. Not only do they look great, they can keep you warm and be worn in several different ways! We have shortlisted some of the easiest styles you can try out to create four different looks with the same scarf.
The belted-poncho: Fold the scarf into a triangular shape and throw it on your shoulders like a cape. Tie it close with a thin belt across your waistline, pulling out just enough of the cloth to keep you covered without adding bulk to your waistline.
The standard: Put the scarf around your neck like a dupatta and then take either ends from your back and throw it across.
The pull-through: Fold the scarf horizontally. Wrap it around your neck and pull the ends inside the loop from the front. This style is ideal for extremely cold weather as it wraps your neck with two layers.
The loop: To achieve this classic look, just hold two ends of the scarf and gently wrap them around your neck twice. Make sure that the front isn’t too put together — loosen it up a little and you are good to go.
