How to Tie a Scarf Tying a scarf is kind of like tying a tie: There’s more than one way, and everyone’s got their preference. Switching up your tie knot is more about vanity and looks, but tying your scarf ultimately needs to accomplish one goal: Protecting your neck from winter’s chill. While different fabric blends abound, to us, there’s one method that works well for several types of scarves. We call it the “loop” method, and it’s simple and classic. Here’s how it works. Gather the scarf and fold it in half so that its two loose ends match the same length. Position the U-shaped loop so that the loop itself sits near the front of your neck, with the rest of the scarf covering the back of your neck. Then, pass the two loose ends through the loop in front of your neck and tighten the loop, positioning according to your preference.
