How to Wear a Silk Scarf
A silk scarf can be worn in a myriad of ways, depending upon the size, shape and length of the scarf. A small scarf can be folded artfully to decorate a breast pocket. A larger scarf can decorate a woman's neck, her waist, her shoulders, her head and her hair. In any of these places, the scarf can be folded and tied to look completely different. How to wear a silk scarf is limited only by the imagination of its wearer.
A silk scarf can be worn and tied as an ascot under a shirt. There are two ways to tie a scarf for an ascot. One is wrapping it around the neck only once, and tying the ascot knot. The other way is for a longer scarf because it is wrapped around the neck twice then tied in the ascot knot.
