The classic drape:

Wrap yourself effortlessly by simply draping the scarf around your neck with both ends hanging evenly in front. Fold the edge of the scarf over to give a double edge at the front allowing the scarf to sit comfortably either on top of a jumper or under a coat whilst keeping your neck warm. This style is perfect for showcasing the full length of the scarf showcasing the texture and colour of the weaving design.

The tie:

Knot the scarf like a tie. Fold the tie in half, wrap one end around the other end coming up behind the neck loop and down through the loop.

The wrap around shawl:

Transform your scarf into a lightweight wrap. Drape the scarf over your shoulders and then wrap one end over the opposite shoulder. This style looks sophisticated and allows the full width of the weave to be shown whilst keeping your shoulders and upper body warm.

The classic round the neck and over the shoulder:

The perfect quick wear to keep your neck warm. Bring the scarf down your front and drape the other half around your neck and over the opposite shoulder. This style is effortless and allows the bold design and pattern to be showcased.

The Loop Through:

Create a cozy and snug look by folding the scarf in half, draping it around your neck and pulling the loose ends through the loop created by the fold. This is a great asymmetric style to allow the fringes or bottom of the scarf to be shown.

A variation of the Loop through above:

A variation of the above. Again, fold the scarf in half, draping it around the neck. Pull one end through the loop and the other end goes over and under the second loop. This is a perfect style for bringing the bulk of the scarf to the front which is especially stylish if you have a jacket and you require that extra warmth around your neck and chest.

The neck loop:

An easy style to wear, simply wrap the scarf around your neck and bring both ends forward for a really big warm hug around the neck.

Of course there are many other ways that you can wear your scarf. However, it is my opinion that if you have a handwoven scarf it is worth spending some time experimenting. Try different styles depending on the season, your outfit or simply your mood and enjoy the warmth and beauty of something truly handmade. Ultimately you want to wear your scarf with confidence knowing that you will look stylish whilst still allowing the craftsmanship of your accessory to be shown at its best.
