New Delhi: As temperatures fall, scarves shift from being functional accessories to expressive style tools that add personality, texture, and balance to winter outfits. A well-chosen knot can change how a coat sits, highlight the neckline of a sweater, or introduce colour without overwhelming the look. Scarves also allow you to reuse your favourite winter pieces without feeling repetitive, since a small change in drape or twist creates a completely new effect.
Wool, cashmere, blends, and even light printed fabrics work well during this season, offering a range of choices depending on mood and weather. These styling ideas are simple to learn, easy to adjust, and practical for both busy mornings and dressed-up evenings. Check these tips here to turn your winter wardrobe into something more comfortable, versatile, and polished.
1. The classic loop
Fold the scarf in half, place it around the neck, and pull both loose ends through the loop for a neat, secure look.
2. The once-around knot
Drape the scarf with one end longer, wrap it around the neck once, and let the ends fall evenly or unevenly.
3. The French knot
Wrap the longer end once, bring it upward through the loop, and tighten both ends at the front.
4. The shoulder toss
Drape a large scarf over the shoulders and let the ends fall forward; it works best with structured coats.
5. The belted wrap
Cross the scarf from one shoulder to the opposite side and fasten it at the waist with a belt for warmth and shape.
6. The croissant knot
Fold the scarf in half, pull one end through the loop, twist the loop once, and pull the second end through.
7. The loose drape
Place a colourful or printed scarf lightly around the neck without knots for a soft, relaxed feel.
A few simple knots offer enough variety to keep winter dressing fresh, comfortable, and visually interesting throughout the season.
