What are the methods of styling blanket scarves?

A blanket scarf is one of the popular fall and winter items and can make your style more impressive on the cold days of the year. The double-ring model is one of the most stylish ways to close this attractive accessory. Therefore, you can easily tie the two sides of your desired warm and soft scarf together to create a complete ring. Then, wrap it once around your neck for a seamless look over your outfit.

Even by the sea, you can use a large cotton and silk scarf to cover the top or bottom of your swimsuit. It’s enough to use a little taste to invent various models and make your style more beautiful. Another way to tie a scarf in summer is to spread this item over your shoulders and tie its edges behind your body. This beautiful fabric covers your arms, shoulders, and back.

How to use scarves as a shirt?

Using a scarf as a shirt is one of the attractive styles that have been popular since the 70s and more by the hippies of that era. If you also want to try this interesting and innovative method, choose a large silk or cotton shawl and follow the following methods:

The first method

• Fold your shawl so that it forms a triangle.

• Wrap the corners of the shawl around your waist and tie tightly.

Choosing the best scarves with good material

Choosing the right material is as important as its length. The material determines the texture, weight, and, most importantly, whether it suits winter weather. How should we know the material of the scarf? You have to check the label.

Wool, cashmere and merino

A woollen scarf has been considered a suitable option due to its warmth and durability. In addition, wool is waterproof and removes moisture. So if you live in an area with high humidity, a wool scarf is a great option. The downside of wool is that it can be itchy. To prevent this problem, wash your scarf by hand and add a little distilled white vinegar to the water. Cashmere fabric is very soft but expensive; Because the wool obtained from one goat is enough to produce only one scarf. Merino wool is both warm and soft. 

Silk

Silk scarves are used more to make the style more beautiful than to warm the body! Use this scarf in a formal style.

Acrylic

Acrylic is an artificial (synthetic) fabric that may not be as soft as natural ones, But those whose skin is allergic to wool can choose acrylic scarves.

Polyester

Polyester is a practical and high-quality fabric that is waterproof, anti-wrinkle, and can maintain colour and high durability. Today’s polyester scarves retain the quality of natural fibres (such as wool or linen) and add durability to polyester’s original properties.

linen

Linen, like most natural fibres, can allow air to pass through it, preventing your neck from getting wet and sweaty. This fabric is classic, durable and easy to keep clean. Jersey fabric is a type of line that produces scarves for warmer weather. Knitted scarves are light and don’t weigh much.

Fleece

Have you ever worn a fleece scarf? At first, you may think this scarf is very warm and soft; But after a few minutes, your neck will sweat. Today’s fleece fabrics are mostly synthetic and waterproof. Finally, when choosing a scarf, you should buy something that you are comfortable with, feels good, keeps you warm and suits your style.

Preventing scarf from fluffing

Imagine you have a stylish scarf; put it on your jacket and see the fluff! These (fuzz, fluff, or whatever you want to call them) may also be found on your jacket, hair, or shirt. But there’s a solution to this problem. You need to know the material of your scarf first, then solve this problem in the following ways.

Woollen scarf

Fluffing woollen scarves is very common. The solution is very simple: put the scarf in the freezer!

• Fold the scarf carefully.
• Please place it in a plastic bag and seal it tightly.
• Please put it in the freezer overnight.
• Remove the bag from the freezer.
• Wear a scarf to notice that the problem is fixed

Cotton scarf

The solution to this problem can be washing the scarf properly.

• Wash the scarf by hand.
• Pour a teaspoon of distilled vinegar into the water.
• Dry in the sunlight.

Synthetic fabrics

• Most of these scarves are designed to be lint-free unless you’re lucky enough to have one!
• If such a problem occurs, wash the scarf on; if it isn’t solved, don’t wear it again or deal with it!

Removing fluff from a scarf

You can remove the lint using scissors or a razor. Be careful not to get too close to the surface of the scarf with scissors or a razor because you may accidentally cut it and damage the fabric. Do this slowly because if you rush, you may damage the scarf. For this, you can also use electric lint removers.

Some methods for tying a scarf

In the previous part, we explained some models of tying the scarf. In this section, we will review some other famous cases together.

Rope screw model

• Wrap the scarf in the form of a long rope.
• Throw it around the neck in the same way.
• Wrap one side around the neck to create a ring.

Bow tie model

• Throw the scarf evenly around the neck.
• Tie it loosely in the middle.
• Make a regular bow with its ends.
• Place the bow either in the middle or on the side as desired.

Tie model

This model of neck scarf knot can be one of the most stylish and excellent choices for undercoats and jackets. To tie a scarf with a tie model, you should put the scarf on your neck and measure both sides of the scarf. Tie a loose knot on one part of the scarf, pass the other side of the scarf through this knot and then tighten and adjust the scarf knot. You will easily have a neck scarf with a tie knot.
