Don't know how to wear a blanket scarf? Entity shares five unique ways you can tie a scarf!

We’ve all been there: you’re looking in your closet for that final accessory to finish your look when you realize you don’t know how to wear a blanket scarf, how to tie a scarf or how to wear a shawl.

The truth is, scarfs, shawls and blanket scarfs (or oversized scarfs cut in the shape of a square) can take your wardrobe to the next level. They’re also one of the easiest accessories to add or remove from an outfit. Ready to learn how to rock a blanket scarf like a true fashionista? Here are five easy ways to wear a blanket scarf!

1 Look cool with a classic loop.

Don’t want to bother with learning complex steps of how to tie a scarf? Then own your oversized scarf and just wear your blanket scarf like any other! Loop it around your neck for a turtleneck-esque style, leaving one end of the scarf to freely dangle.

If you want to dress up your blanket scarf look, try adding sophisticated accessories like heels and big sunglasses. If you’re going for casual, stick to fitted pants and high boots. Keeping your shoes and pants simple and sleek will let the blanket scarf steal the show. You can even rock a mini skirt to balance out how much skin you’re covering up top.

2 Pack a punch with a poncho.

Struggling to learn how to tie a scarf? Then try this no-tying-required style instead. One of the easiest ways to wear a blanket scarf is pretending that it’s a poncho, sweater or shawl. Simply drape your blanket scarf over your shoulder, adjusting it until the ends of the scarf are in front.

When you’re experimenting with how to wear a blanket scarf (or even how to wear a shawl), try to keep the rest of your outfit simple. Wearing a blanket scarf like a poncho is especially cute when you pair it with a solid-colored top and blue jeans. If you want to make your outfits seasonal, why not look for a flower-patterned blanket scarf for spring and a rich patchwork-patterned scarf for fall?

3 Add some extra bling with a belt.

Looking for ways to wear a scarf that will still show off your waist? Belts to the rescue! If you like the feel of the poncho style but want to dress it up, just drape your blanket scarf as normal but cinch it together with a belt.

You can also make your blanket scarf look like a festive vest or sweater by following a few easy steps. First, drape your blanket scarf over your neck like you would any other scarf. Then add a belt a few inches above your waist line. For the full vest effect, add an open coat or long jacket to hide where the scarf ends and your shirt begins. Wala! Who knew learning how to wear a blanket scarf would include discovering some easy fashion magic?

4 Turn into a sleek superhero by wearing it as a cape.

This is another winning look if you don’t want to mess with learning how to tie a scarf. Just drape your blanket scarf over your shoulders like you would to create a poncho. Then, tie the ends at the front of your neck so that your scarf mimics a cape in shape.

For a more subdued look, you can fold your blanket scarf into a mini cape. Start by folding your scarf in half (to form a triangle). Do this again to form another smaller triangle. Then drape the small scarf over your shoulder and tie it in front as normal. Pair it with a long-sleeved T-shirt, a miniskirt and boots for a chic look that will catch everyone’s eye.

5 Kill it by rocking the kerchief style.

Some of the best ways to tie a scarf are the ones that look effortless…and are super easy to do! The kerchief is one of these styles.

Start by folding your blanket scarf in half (into a triangle). Then, take the two ends and tie them behind your neck, letting the rest of the blanket scarf hang loose. To hide the ends that you tied, just pull them to the front and tuck them under the rest of the scarf. And now you can claim that you’re (at the very least) a scarf typing novice!

Learning how to wear a blanket scarf or new ways to tie a scarf can be intimidating. However, once you master a few of these simple styles, you’ll never be wondering how to tie a scarf again.

And when you need to shake up your favorite looks? Well, they’ll only be a scarf away from being majorly upgraded!
