Scarves aren’t just a practical way to stay warm in the colder months,  they’re a winter wardrobe essential that can completely transform your outfit. Whether you’re running errands, heading to work, or out for a weekend stroll, the right scarf can add warmth, texture, and style all at once.

Here are five cosy and fashionable ways to wear a scarf this winter:

Perfect for freezing days, the oversized blanket scarf acts like a wearable hug. Simply drape it over your shoulders and let it hang loose like a shawl, or cross it over your chest and secure it with a belt at the waist for a more structured look.

2. The Classic Loop

The go-to winter style. Fold your scarf in half, wrap it around the back of your neck, and pull the loose ends through the loop. It’s secure, snug, and provides great insulation without too much fuss.

3. The Parisian Knot

For those looking to keep it classy, try the Parisian knot. Wrap the scarf once around your neck, tie a loose knot near the collarbone, and tuck the ends under your coat. It adds a sleek, polished touch to any winter outfit.

Use an actual infinity scarf or simply tie the ends of a regular scarf together to make a loop. Twist it into a figure-eight and slip it over your head twice. It gives you double the warmth and stays perfectly in place , no readjusting needed.
