That’s a Wrap: How to Style a Scarf

Forget the basics; here are the most elevated ways to wear a scarf this season

Accessories can either make or break an outfit, so knowing how to wear a scarf – the accessory we’ll be turning to all of autumn and winter – is of vital importance. But we’re not talking about the classic cravat-like knot or the over-the-shoulder wrap-around. There are far more interesting, fashion-forward ways to style this wardrobe staple. From adding to a bag to incorporating into a hairstyle, here’s how Team Liberty will be wearing scarves this season.

The Headscarf

Liberty 70X70 Silk Twill Scarf, £175

Royal style has cemented the humble headscarf a place on the list of the season’s most popular accessories. But for a modern take on Her late Majesty’s iconic sense of country style, join TikTok’s tastemakers by tying a silk scarf around your hair and knotting it either underneath the chin or at the nape of your neck. For a little extra retro elegance, look to our sunglasses department for a pair of blacked-out shades to finish the look.

The Neck Scarf

Liberty 45X45 Silk Twill Scarf, £95

This season’s shows made one thing clear: the neck scarf is back. Lightweight, usually square in cut and often patterned in vibrant prints, tie one loosely around your neck to elevate an off-duty jumper and jeans combination. Or, if you’re opting for tailoring - the power shoulder is among the season's biggest fashion trends, after all - accentuate your suit’s colouring with a tonal yet painterly pick. Either knot it like a neckerchief or treat it like a tie so that it sits under a collar or around a frilly neckline.

The Bag Scarf

Liberty 45X45 Silk Twill Scarf, £95

Sure, it’s a practical addition to your get-up, but sometimes the bag you choose to have by your side could do with a little dressing up itself. Enter the statement silk scarf. Option one: consider wrapping the scarf around the handle and tie at either end. Option two: if there’s a shoulder strap or disused loop ring, thread the scarf through and knot so that it cascades down like a charm. Our final recommendation: tie into a bow around the base of one of the handles (this works best with larger bags, like totes and buckets).

The Shawl

Liberty Hope 140X140 Silk Twill Scarf, £225

Sure, you can follow tradition by wrapping a scarf around your neck to cancel out the cold, but why not break with the usual and turn that winter warmer into a shawl? Perfect for throwing over your party dress just before heading out out, this cover-up-style scarf is just as handy when it comes to the office A/C wars, too, so drape one over your shoulders and fix in place by buckling a belt around your waist if you so wish. But for something a little outside the sartorial box, first slip into a trench or belted overcoat, cloak the scarf over just one shoulder and then fasten your coat’s waist-tie as usual. The result: top level street style.

The Hair Scarf

Liberty Abstract 45X45 Silk Twill Scarf, £95

The trick here is to go for a scarf that’s on the smaller side and not too bulky. Then, you’ll need to decide on a way of tying the scarf that suits your look. For an upgraded braid, consider the scarf as an extra strand of hair and intertwine it throughout. Looking for an update on the classic ponytail? In this case, knot the scarf over your hair tie so that it falls downwards. But if you like your hair down, forget the standard-issue headband and instead wrap the scarf over and behind your head, knotting it so that your hair hangs loose over the top.
