Scarves are one of the most versatile fashion accessories of our time. No longer are they only for hipsters, the cold months and that Frenchman holding a baguette. There are infinite styles, patterns and ways to wear them regardless of body type, making them a go-to accessory for an average day or any special occasion.

“Scarf” down these tips and ideas on incorporating one to your fashion personality.

The French Knot: This traditional knot has timeless style. By blanketing the back of your neck and double knotting the ends in front, this quick wrap leaves no weak spots when the cold attacks.

Twisted Sister: Add a new, sophisticated twist into your neckwear by twirling the fabric tightly and wrapping it three times around your neck. Tie the ends together and let them hang slightly off-center.

Classic Loop: Easy enough to do while running out the door. Create a center loop by bringing the opposite ends together horizontally. Wrap around your neck and weave the ends through the loop, pulling further to tighten.

Infinity and Beyond: Create your own infinity look by lightly twisting your scarf and tying the ends together. Wrap around your neck twice, and place the knot in the back for invisibility, or off-center in the front for something different.

Head Scarf: Thwart bad hair days by using your scarf as a hair accessory. Fold the scarf to your desired thickness, place the middle of the scarf on the crown of your head, and tie a classic bow or knot at the nape of your neck, being sure to cover part of the ears.
