Tying a short scarf with a knot around the neck can be a chic and practical way to accessorize your look. For a short scarf, you will need one that’s about 20-30 inches in length. This could be a silk scarf like Mrunal Thakur or a lightweight cotton scarf. Place the scarf around the neck and tie the knot. For a simple knot, cross the two ends of the scarf and then tie a simple knot by pulling one end through the loop. You can tie a scarf like this with a simple top and jeans or with a blazer or turtle neck top. This will also work with dresses or sweaters.

The Toss

For a relaxed toss look, toss one end over your shoulder or back while another end falls naturally in the front. Pair the tossed scarf with a t-shirt, sweater, jeans or pants. You can wear it over a blazer or cardigan for a stylish touch.

For this look, drape the scarf around the neck twice, this creates a fuller appearance and provides extra insulation. Ensure the scarf is snug but not too tight. You can wear this scarf under a jacket or a coat. For a more dressy appearance, look for a scarf with embellishments. Coordinate it with your best accessories.

Flirty style scarf

Scarves with playful colors or vibrant styles work well. Drape the scarf around your neck and tie a loose knot at the end of the scarf and let the other end hang down in the front. This creates a relaxed, flirty look with a bit of flair. For a feminine look, pair the scarf with a dress or a blouse. The style is all about adding movement to your look.
