Stylish Ways To Wear A Scarf In The Winter

If you love winter for all its opportunities to accessorize, then you probably already have a multitude of scarves in your wardrobe. You might have soft, wooly scarves that you could almost use as a throw blanket, or traditional fringed scarves in every hue, from solid lavender, to a deep red and green tartan. No matter your scarf of choice, how you wear it is extremely important. While you might wear your same gray scarf every day regardless of the outfit you opt for, you can change it up by tying it differently depending on your look.

First off, we had to start our list with the most traditional way to wear a winter scarf: simply tossed over your shoulder (via InStyle). This is by far the most casual, nonchalant, cool-girl way to wear a winter scarf, since it gives that certain French "je ne sais quoi" while never looking like you tried too hard. We love to wear our winter scarves this way, especially when just jetting out the house in the morning on our way to work. It's quick, convenient, and above all else, warm and stylish. 

The "tossed over the shoulder" scarf look works best with scarves that are decidedly wintery, in materials like wool, cashmere, or poly-blends that are just thick enough to scream cozy. This look also looks best with an oversized scarf, and some fringe details at the end.
