A scarf isn't just a great way to keep warm when it's cold outside; it can also help to accentuate your dapper look.

The Drape

This is the easiest way to wear a scarf. Just fold it in half lengthwise and let it hang around your neck equally on each side.

The Shoulder Toss

Fold the scarf in half lengthwise and let it hang around your neck equally on each side.
Bring one side (A) towards the other side (B).
Toss the A side behind you and adjust both ends to desired length.

The Wrap Around

Fold scarf in half lengthwise (or leave it loose) and let it hang around your neck equally on each side.
Bring one side (A) towards the other side (B), before letting A pass from under B.
Finally, adjust both ends to desired length.

Of course, there are plenty of ways to wear a scarf that don't just involve letting it hang around your neck. You might want to practice your knot-trying skills before attempting any of these stylish looks below:

NOTE: Depending on the length (60 to 75 inches long) and material, some of these knots will be slightly tougher to pull off when it comes to thicker and coarser wool scarves.

The Slip Knot

Fold scarf in half lengthwise and then fold it again to form a sort of hoop.
Let the scarf dangle around your neck with the hoop on one side of the shoulder.
Take the other end (A) and bring it towards the hoop.
Pass the A side through the hoop, and slightly tighten in order to achieve that European look.

The Fake Knot

Fold scarf and let it drop down your neck equally on each side.
Make a knot on one side (A), and let B pass through to form a knot.
Finish off the look by slightly tightening the knot.

The Ascot Knot

Let the middle of the scarf fall on the back of your neck with equal length on both sides.
Take one end (A) and let it pass from under the other end (B).
Bring A upwards to make a knot, adjust both the ends equally facing downwards.

The Twice-Around Ascot

Takes a little extra effort, but it’ll keep you warm and toasty.
Let the middle of the scarf fall on the back of your neck with equal length on both sides.
Take one end (A) and let it pass from under the other end (B) before bringing back A towards the front, then let A pass through B again to form a knot.
Adjust both the ends equally facing downwards.
