Oh, the v-neck! Only this versatile neckline can complete comfy-casual Saturday morning attire and transform into an edgy, ready-for-anything ensemble at night. If your wardrobe is just a smidge like ours, you likely have a drawer dedicated entirely to this wear-with-everything wonder.

To make the most of this staple piece, we’ve perfected the art of pairing it with (you guessed it!) scarves. Last fall, we introduced the Four-in-Hand as our go-to scarf knot for the v-neck — but since then, we’ve added a few more styles to our knot rotation.

Skim through our most v-neck-worthy knots, and find a look that complements your style — and your vast collection of v-necks!

4 Ways to Tie a Scarf (Sailor Style!)

by | 1 Comment

how to tie a scarf (sailor style)

When it comes to springtime, you can always expect a few things — like drizzly rainstorms, buoyant moods, and nautical-inspired fashions. What better way to express the arrival of spring than with a few nautical scarf knots? We’ve rounded up some sailor scarf styles to help you sail towards warm weather and those delicious park picnics. ;)

How to tie the Angler’s Knot:

  1. With a long rectangle scarf, start by placing the scarf on the back of your neck.
  2. Bring both sides of the scarf around the front of your neck, and criss-cross them across your chest towards your back again.
  3. Then, you will cross-cross the scarf across the back of your neck once more.
  4. By now, the criss-crossed scarf at the front of your neck has formed two “loops.” Pull one of the loops next to your neck down a bit to loosen it up, and slip the closest end of the scarf through, letting the remainder of the scarf hang down your chest.
  5. Repeat the same on the other side, and you’ve got the “Angler’s Knot!”

How to tie the Mermaid Loop:

  1. You’ll need two scarves for the “Mermaid Loop.”
  2. With your base scarf, fold it in half horizontally, and place the scarf around the back of your neck with a loop on one side.
  3. Pull one of the ends through the loop, twist the loop, and pull the other side through as well. (Similar to the Four-in-Hand.)
  4. Then, place an infinity scarf on top, and you’re good to go!

How to tie the Fisherman’s Coil:

  1. For those days when you don’t want the ends of your scarf billowing in the salty sea breeze, the “Fisherman’s Coil” is the perfect scarf knot. Center a lightweight scarf at the back of your neck, and let the ends hang down the front of your chest.
  2. Loop the scarf once around your neck, so that the loop drapes near the center of your chest.
  3. Starting on one side, wrap one end of the scarf around the loop. Go around and around until you reach the end, and tuck it in.
  4. Repeat for the other side. You should have a coil-like result!

How to tie the Double Monkey Fist:

  1. And finally, a sophisticated knot with a quirky name. To tie the “Double Monkey Fist,” you will need an infinity scarf.
  2. Start by placing it around your neck, and letting it hang down the front of you.
  3. Then, make a simple knot near your neck (as if you’re wearing a tie!).
  4. With the remainder of the dangling scarf, tie up another knot. That’s it!

how to tie winter scarves

Hey, snow bunny! Are you packing your weekender bag for a snow-filled weekend of R&R at a posh ski resort? After throwing in some furry boots, thick-knit tights, and wool sweaters, don’t forget to pack some scarves to match! The perfect addition to any wintery ensemble, you’ll want a soft and warm scarf snugly-wrapped around your neck.

Read on for five wintery ways to tie a scarf! For instructions on how to tie each knot, simply click on the link for written or video step-by-step details.

Wrap and Tie

The key to dressing for the slopes is to keep warm, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice fashion. The Wrap and Tie knot provides ample coverage, but adds a twist to the typical “wrap around” look. Pair a hi-lo sweater with skinny jeans, and top it off with a printed scarf knotted in the Wrap and Tie for a cute and cozy look.

Half Bow II

Head into town for some shopping and pick up some kitschy pieces for your home collection. Sport the Half Bow II knot with a basic top, a blazer, denim, and oxfords.

Slip Knot

The Slip Knot is big and fluffy, providing extra coverage that is perfect for the blustery cold of a wintery wonderland. Why not head to the ice rink in the evening for a little fun with family or friends? Match a pair of skinny denim with a cozy jumper, boot socks, and a fun pair of laced ankle boots for a stylish look that still lets you move on the ice!

Fancy Braid

The Fancy Braid knot is perfect for keeping you warm while not feeling restrictive. Pair some colored leggings with a tunic, cropped sweater, and the Fancy Braid. No need for shoes — just slip on your fuzzy slippers!

Double Scarf Loop Knot

Why wear just one scarf when you can wear two?! The Double Scarf Loop knot is a perfect way to add some color to your look. This knot would be a perfect addition to a neutral sweater dress, tights, and wedge booties — perhaps while doing a little wining and dining? Add a little extra pizzazz to your ensemble by choosing one plain-colored scarf and one printed scarf!

Four Knots for a Round Neckline

by | 3 Comments

A staple in any woman’s wardrobe, the round neckline is classic and universally flattering – we like to think of it as the LBD of necklines. But just like your knockout dress needs a new pair of heels every now and then, your go-to neckline could use a playful addition on occasion – like say, a knock-your-socks-off scarf. :)

Back in October we introduced the Fancy Braid as our bound-to-wow knot for a round neckline. Since we’re sure you mastered the braid months ago, we thought it was time we shared a few of our other favorites knots fit for a round neckline, along with the scarves you just hafta-have to complete the look!

The Knots

The Scarves

Round necklines are so versatile that essentially any scarf will do, but we’re particularly fond of the following:

Lightweight scarves for summer Infinities for winter Pashminas for a classic look

Find a favorite scarf (or two or three) and start tying! When it comes to the round neckline, the sky’s the limit, lovelies.

Not sure how to scarf-style the rest of your closet? We’ve got you covered with knots for nine different necklines.
