How To Wear A Men’s Scarf: 5 Ways To Tie A Winter Scarf

A scarf offers so much than just frostbite protection. A scarf will not only keep your neck warm on a cold winter day, but also add extra style and personality to your outfit.

We’ve put together 5 great and easy ways to tie your scarf to look sharp and stylish.

The Drape

This is probably the simplest way to wear a scarf (though not the warmest one). No tying actually happens in this one — you simply drape your scarf around the back of your neck. Because this leaves your neck exposed, this method is more fashion-oriented than practical. But it’s perfect for suited or blazer looks. You can wear the scarf draped over your blazer or overcoat or tuck it under.

The Ascot

This is one of the simplest scarf knots, which at the same time looks very sophisticated. To create the Ascot knot, lay the scarf over your shoulders and tie the ends “over and under”. Tighten the knot as desired and arrange the longer end so that it lays flat over the front of the shorter end. Tied like this, the scarf will add a touch of refinement to your everyday outfits.

The Parisian Knot

The Parisian (or French or European) knot is one of the most popular and elegant looking styles. It is also very easy to tie. Simply fold the scarf in half at the middle, drape the folded scarf around your neck and pull the loose ends through the loop that was created by the fold. Wear the Parisian knot over your coat to display it in all its glory or tuck it in for a warm, cozy feel.

The Once / Twice Around

For a more casual feel, try The Once Around wraIt is a simple no-fuss scarf style that does a great job of keeping your neck warm. Take your scarf and wrap it around your neck once, leaving the ends loose in the front. When the weather calls for added warmth, try a variation of the Once Around — The Twice Around wraJust wrap your scarf around the neck twice and you’re all ready to face the elements.

The Reverse Drape Cross

This tying technique does a nice job of keeping your neck protected from the winter wind and chill and creating a cool look. The Reverse Drape Cross is formed simply by wrapping the scarf around your neck and tying the ends over and under.
