Weekly Scarf-Tying: Shawl Knot
This week, we want to show you how one simple shawl tie can give you two elegant looks. It feels refined with a touch of playfulness, and it is perfect for a relaxed afternoon outdoors, even something as simple as weekend shopping.
1, Start by draping your scarf around your neck, letting both ends hang evenly in front of your body.
2. Gently lift both ends and tie a knot in front of you, keeping it centered.
3. Twist the knot twice to create a soft, sculpted detail, then carefully place it over your head.
4. Adjust the neckline and folds until it sits comfortably. Just like that, you have transformed your scarf into a draped shawl that adds instant polish to your outfit. You can wear it exactly like this, or take it one step further.
5. Locate the innermost layer of fabric within the knot around your neck.
6. Pull that inner layer up and over your head from the back. This creates a hooded shawl effect that brings a little whimsy to your look, while also offering light sun coverage.
