Maxi scarves are an essential accessory in our winter wardrobe, mainly to protect us from the cold. But functional use is not the only reason why we resort to this accessory, but because they also greatly decorate the look, giving it a special touch.
Of course, putting on a scarf with style is not just about letting it fall over your neck and shoulders in any way, but you have to know how to place it with grace and taste. For this, social networks are a source of inspiration when it comes to finding the most chic way to wear a scarf.
The latest sensation on TikTok about how to wear an extra large scarf is aimed precisely at turning it into another trendy accessory, the balaclava. That hybrid between the scarf and the hood that has become so fashionable. But you don’t have to spend the money on a new balaclava, when you can transform the maxi scarves you already have in your closet.
TikTok user @claudyamoreira1 describes herself as the “queen of scarves.” And this nickname is supported by more than 998 thousand followers of her on said social network, where she shares videos teaching different methods to style scarves, foulards and handkerchiefs.
Among them, we find a video that shows in a simple way how to put on the scarf in the most sophisticated way, as if it were a balaclava. First of all, you need it to be a thick and fairly long scarf, so that the result is the desired one.
Place the scarf behind your neck, leaving one end much shorter than the other. Next, cross the longer end in front of your neck and then back, bringing it back over your shoulder.
Then, insert the ends of the scarf into the gap in front of your throat, pulling it so that it is loose at chest height. Fluff the shape until it’s nice and finally pull the back over your head like a hood. And ready! As simple and fast as it is ideal.
The same content creator offers us another extremely stylish idea to wear the scarf as a turban. Fold your maxi scarf lengthwise and place it centered on your forehead, then cross it at the nape of your neck.
Bring the ends to the front of your neck and cross them again. Knot them and smooth the ends to make it sophisticated and not too bulky.
