How to put a silk scarf around your neck or in your hair? Here are 3 ways to wear it with style and elegance

A true style object, the silk scarf has its origins in ancient Egypt. Popularized by the genius designer Thierry Hermès in the 1930s, the scarf can be tied in various ways depending on your desires and tastes. There are various ways to wear this fabric to achieve the height of French chic.

Both elegant and drawing inspiration from “workwear”, it takes shape like the new feminine tie knot. Start by placing your scarf at the front of your neck and leaving the ends of the fabric towards the back. Then, bring them to the front of your bust, one on each side. Then, grab the scarf that is close to your neck, pull it gently and make a twist. All you have to do is pass the two ends of the scarf inside the notch. Tighten it all up and there you have it, the look in line with the trends!

Concerning the second method, you will simply have to place your scarf on your neck and leave the two ends at the level of your bust. With the length of these, make a bow tie. To do this, make a loop on each side and tie them together. This technique allows you to create a knot with a preppy-chic essence.

But if it is not around your neck that you want to tie your silky scarf but rather in your hair, know that this is possible. Wear it like Brigitte Bardot or Elizabeth Taylor, in other words around your head like a turban, to highlight your look.
