The time has long passed when a head scarf was a necessary and obligatory attribute in a woman's suit. But this does not mean that you need to forget this item of clothing once and for all. Indeed, numerous scarf manufacturers, especially fashion leaders such as Versace, Gucci and Hermes, are not in vain trying to create fantastic patterns and sophisticated colors, boldly experimenting with their texture and shape. The art of how to tie handkerchiefs is as old as the world, and at the same time you can endlessly fantasize on this subject, each time being transformed with the help of a small piece of matter.
You can easily create a “hairstyle” from a scarf, make an ornament on the neck, create an original top, use it as a belt on a dress, trousers or a skirt, revive an excessively plain outfit or update your handbag. With a certain amount of imagination, you can create bright, original and unique images. To understand how to tie scarves and transform, you need to master at least the simplest skills. To do this, you can use large square fabrics with a size of at least 80 x 80 cm, medium ones - 50 x 50 cm, and for neck ornaments, small scarves 30 x 30 cm are suitable in some cases. Coloring and texture also play an important role.
This headdress is primarily intended to retouch the imperfections in the structure of the skull, to reveal the virtues of the gentle oval of the face, visually increase the size of the eyes, and hide the imperfections of the hair. If you have a flat crown, a skillfully tied handkerchief can “fix” this problem as well as the shortcomings of sparse hair, a cut head and others. Ways to tie a scarf vary from Arabic to native Orthodox. Let's consider some of them.
The easiest way is to fold the fabric diagonally, put it in the middle on the head, and tie the ends at the back of the head. This option is classic, but not suitable for everyone, because tying scarves in this style is not recommended for women with a long nose, large mouth or sharp features. If you put on a long square scarf in the manner described above, but tie its ends not on the back of the head, but on the back over the hanging edge, you can get a beautiful headdress that looks like a bonnet. Raising the scarf on the top, you can "create" a high forehead and form an oval face shape.
A head scarf can help camouflage other body imperfections, such as a neck that is too long or too short. For a long neck, take a small handkerchief, roll it into a ribbon and tie it with a “collar” on the neck. For a short neck, use a long or medium scarf and an 8-shaped brooch or ring. Just throw the scarf over your shoulders and stick the ends into the holes. There are many more ways to tie scarves around the neck, for example, in the form of a man’s tie. This method is suitable for classic women's blouses. The scarf can be folded in the form of a tape, folded in half, put it under the collar of the blouse, push the ends into the loop and tighten it slightly. In this case, the blouse should not be buttoned on all buttons.
Tying a scarf on outerwear requires thicker, possibly woolen, fabrics. This item of clothing should be combined in color with the coat. You can dress it like a collar, tie it with a loop or simply freely throw it over your shoulders, wind the ends (or one end) back and fasten with a pin. If the dress is plain, then you can refresh it with a beautiful contrasting scarf instead of a belt. You can also put a beautiful and bright scarf in the loops of trousers or skirts instead of the usual belt.
You can create clothes from one or two scarves. To do this, tie one of them around the waist, and the other two ends on the back of the head. Top is ready! Tie two scarves around the waist - one in front and one in the back. Staple or stitch the sides of the hanging shawls to the desired length. An original skirt that no one has!
