This scarf tie works great with regular-old scarves, they can be winter-weight or light-weight, cotton or wool, because the emphasis is on the tie around the neck. It is also great for adding a little flair under coats, jackets, blazers or cardigans. Unless you have a very long scarf it might look a little off on its own as it ends up with shorts end, great for tucking under a top layer.
- Start with the scarf behind your neck about 3/4 of it going to one side.
- Next wrap the scarf around one time.
- Adjust the tightness around your neck.
- Drop your hand over and into the loop you just made.
- Pop your hand under the hanging side, so it is over the loop and under the tail.
- Grab the other hanging tail in your looped hand.
- Pull completely through the hole your hand was previously occupying.
- Give both ends a tug and tuck under your jacket, coat, blazer, etc...
- Ta-Da! The final product.
A great coat is a winter necessity. Since it is the piece you will wear almost every day and is the first thing people will see when you meet them during the cold season, it makes a big impression. You are also dependent on it to keep you warm while looking great. When I buy a coat, I expect it to last at least three winters - if not more. A few years ago, with the help of a coupon, I invested in the Thinsulate lined tall version of the classic wool J.Crew coat; it has not let me down in terms of warmth or appearance. I expect to have it at least three more years. I found these coats that I think will keep you warm and chic well into next winter:
