How to Wrap a Scarf Like the French

French women understand style. Their elegant, yet simple approach to clothing appears effortless but is as carefully measured as the ingredients in fine French pastries. While most French women's closets are not bulging with clothes, they know the importance of investing in the basics. Scarves play a huge role in a French woman's wardrobe. Worn in various ways, scarves finish the look of the outfit and express the personality of the wearer. There are several ways to wrap a scarf like the French that imparts a stylish continental look.

Instructions

Create the European loop by folding your scarf in half and holding the fold in one hand and the two ends in the other. Take the folded scarf up over your head and lower it down around the back of your neck. Slightly open the fold and thread the two ends through it in the front of your body.

Drape the scarf length around the back of your neck, letting the ends hang loosely in the front of the body. Take the end on your right side in your right hand and bring it up towards the left and loosely loop it completely around your neck. Thread the same end down through the loose loop in front of the neck.

Place the scarf length around the back of the neck with the ends hanging in front of the body. Take the scarf end hanging on the right side of the body and loosely wrap it around the neck twice, threading the end through one of the loops to complete the look. This creates a bundle neck that works well with jackets.

Put one end of the scarf length securely into the neck of your coat. Wrap the remaining length around your neck several times, leaving enough scarf at the end to hang over your shoulder onto your back. This method of wrapping is excellent for cold weather.

Fold a large square scarf into a triangle. Place the V of the scarf up to the front of the neck, with the point facing down, while holding the two scarf ends out to the side. Bring each scarf end around the back of the neck to its opposite side and let the ends hang down in front of the body or tie the ends in a small knot to one side of the V.

Create a French twist by starting with two opposite corners of a square scarf and alternately folding toward the center in thirds until you reach a 2-inch width. Center the scarf against the front of your neck and wrap the ends around the back of the neck in their opposite direction, bringing them forward. Tie a loose double knot off-center in the front of the neck.
