How to tie a stole scarf in different ways

What is a stole and what are they?

A scarf is a long, knitted or woven narrow fabric that is worn in cold weather.

A stole is also a long cloth, only wider. Its width reaches half a meter or more.

The stole scarf has become a popular item of clothing, worn by both women and men.

Classic rectangular

The classic size is 70x170 cm. If you decide to knit or sew a stole yourself, then make it the size you need, depending on who it will belong to.

Its width is calculated depending on the height of the back. To do this, measure the distance from the base of your neck to your waist. Measure the length from hand to hand along your arms outstretched to the side. Add approximately 20 cm to what you measured.

For some, a stole that is wider and longer than the classic one is suitable, and for others a little smaller.

Warm wool model

Wool stoles are worn in cold weather, along with jackets, coats and down jackets. In summer, a warm cape is worn with T-shirts, skirts and jeans. For example, wrapping yourself up in windy, cool weather.

Made from fur

An expensive fur cape always looks elegant. A fashionable detail is appropriate for special occasions.

It gracefully complements business suits.
An evening or business knitted dress with fur on the shoulders looks elegant.
It is not customary to wear fur with a fur coat, down jacket or leather jacket. But it is appropriate with a raincoat or coat.

A fur cape is usually simply draped over the shoulders and pinned with a beautiful clasp or brooch.

Knitted

These stole scarves are the most common. They are knitted from thin or thick wool, cotton threads or cashmere. They can be airy, openwork, with an original pattern, or simple.

Openwork long stoles are usually simply thrown over the shoulders. This way it won’t stretch out, and the pattern can be demonstrated.

Regular scarves can be wrapped around the neck. You can wrap it around your neck twice, hiding the ends inward.

A wide knitted fabric can be thrown over your head instead of a hat or hood. There are many interesting ways.

New for the fall season are voluminous scarves knitted in the shape of animals. They look unusual. For example, you can choose a cat, fox, raccoon or parrot scarf, which can be tied on the shoulders as if the animal is wrapped around the collar and is holding on by biting itself.

Long scarves look natural when paired with floor-length skirts. The result is a very soft, feminine, autumn look. With knitted dresses of different cuts and high boots, you can create romantic outfits - the kind that French women love.

A stole will also pair well with casual wear. A bright scarf looks especially good with jeans. Ankle boots or loafers are suitable for footwear. Also, an elegant stole can be combined with evening and cocktail dresses. The main thing is that it matches the style and color with the overall ensemble. Pumps and a small handbag on a chain can complement the outfit.

The stole will sparkle in a new way with different accessories. Brooches look good with a long scarf, which can be used to cut off the edges of the product and attach it as decoration. If you have a stole in your wardrobe, then you definitely need to get a hat with a wide brim. It should be in harmony in color with this accessory. A wide and thin belt will be useful for creating a new solution with a scarf.

What does the accessory not go with?

Despite the versatility and practicality of a stole, it may not suit some clothes and style decisions. The following exceptions exist:

sports items - pants, T-shirts, leggings;
sports shoes - sneakers, sneakers, flip-flops, moccasins;
oversized and military styles.

How to wear a stole - fashion ideas

A stole should be worn not only as a cape over the shoulders. It can be tied on the head and neck, creating new multi-layered looks. Here are the most common ways to tie a long scarf:

The easiest way is to throw it over your shoulders, throw one edge over your shoulder, and pin it in front with a pin;
Tie the ends of the accessory into a strong knot - a closed circle is formed, fold it in half again, put the resulting product on your shoulders, or you can tie it on one side with a brooch;
Throw the stole over your shoulders and pin it at the throat with a pin (to form a stand), grab the edges and girdle with a belt;
The scarf is thrown over the shoulder (one end at the back and the other at the front) and tied with a belt - it turns out something like a tunic;
Another simple way is to throw a scarf over your shoulders and tie a knot in the chest area;
The stole is thrown over the shoulders, the ends are brought back and tied or pinned at the waist;
The scarf is placed on the shoulders with the ends back - in the area of the shoulder blades, two parts are pinned together with a pin.

There are no less interesting ways to tie a stole on your head. The scarf is folded in half in width and placed on the head. The remnants of the edges are twisted into a flagellum, a revolution is made and fixed on the back of the head. You can also wear a stole as a bonnet. The scarf is draped over the head, its edges are wrapped around the neck and the ends are secured at the back. Another interesting way is to twist the stole like a bandana. To do this, the scarf needs to be folded in half in width, placed on the head and tied on the side (near the ear). The ends are located in front.

A stole is a very feminine and elegant part of the wardrobe. You can create different outfits and shapes with it, just tie it or pin it correctly. This accessory is convenient in any weather – it will warm you up in cold weather and protect you from the sun in warm weather. A correctly chosen stole can add a special charm to an image and make it complete.

Fashionable women's images

This cozy item is easy to match with any outfit and for any occasion. The cape is worn with any outerwear. It is appropriate on the street, in the office, at a party and at a social reception.

How to tie a stole

Some relative of Louis XIV began to wear a wide fur cape on her shoulders back in the 17th century. Now she has not only an insulating task. Just look what you can do with it.

You can make a cardigan from a wide cape. To do this, we throw it over our shoulders so that we get a bell. We straighten the folds and secure the structure with a belt.

Cardigan

You can transform a boring dress. To do this, throw the fabric over one shoulder, drape it beautifully, and secure it with a belt.

One-shoulder cape secured with belt

Denim style

Even the most ordinary jeans with a beautiful scarf look modern and fashionable. Tucking a scarf under your belt will accentuate your figure. The belt must be fastened, but it is better to tie the coat belt loosely, without tension.

Any jewelry will go well with jeans as a stylish addition. Rings, clips, brooches, decorative pins will beautifully complement the look. For hat lovers there is plenty of room.

To add some sass to your look, use decorative rings, plain or with a clip. A brooch is attached to this addition. Both edges of the fabric must be inserted into the ring, and the brooch must be fixed at the desired height. You no longer have to think about additional decoration.

With a skirt

How to wear a stole with a long skirt
In the photo above you can see how well you can complement an image with a long skirt. It can be worn as a poncho, wrapped around the shoulders, or as a cardigan, securing the edges with a belt.

A warm cashmere stole goes well with everyday clothes. Many colleagues will look enviously at such a cozy cape.

And these photos confirm that the stole fits perfectly with both a pleated midi skirt and a mini. Both a young girl and a much older woman feel comfortable with him.

With shorts

A light cape with an original pattern will make everyday clothes of shorts and a T-shirt much more interesting.

With a leather jacket

A beautiful scarf can be tied over a leather biker jacket. Just don’t take summer stole samples, you won’t get an original outfit.

The insulated model will be decorated with a warm woolen cape. But a light leather jacket will go well with cotton or silk fabric.

If the jacket has a hood, do not tie a scarf over it. This is the height of bad taste. The basic version is suitable for this model.

How to do it? Throw the stole folded in half so that the hood is on top of the fabric. The loop and edges should hang down in front. Thread them through the loop and tighten slightly.

Under boots

A scarf with a strap looks good with high boots. It’s good if the color of the belt matches the shade of the shoes.

What jewelry to use to tie a stole on the shoulders

Accessories will add extra zest and help secure unruly ends. Brooches, rings, and clips make it possible to independently come up with various options for tying a stole.

Ring . Both ends of the product are inserted into it and the height is adjusted. When choosing such an accessory, you need to take into account the thickness of the material so that the ring fits tightly and does not slip on the fabric.

Ring with clip . A brooch is attached to the ring. Both ends of the stole are inserted into the ring, but the clip allows you to fix the brooch at the desired height and prevents it from slipping off. Ideal for thin fabrics.

Brooch with a pin or needle - attached to the product using a needle or pin. Suitable for stoles made of thick material; punctures are left on thin fabrics.

The stole can be worn at any time of the year. In most cases, it looks gentle and feminine. But you can add a touch of sass by simply tying it differently.

How to wear a stole instead of outerwear

This thing can replace a jumper, coat, cardigan. A warm soft cape will keep you warm on a cold autumn day.

How to make a vest

A stole vest will not only warm you up, but also decorate your everyday clothes. We twist it around the neck, straighten the long ends in front, and secure it with a belt.

Original vest

Shoulder Cape

You need to throw the stole over your back, then elegantly throw half of the wide scarf over your shoulder, and let the other part hang freely in front. Asymmetry is fashionable, so leave free edges at different levels.

A long ponytail flowing along trousers or a midi dress looks very fashionable. A short ponytail is thrown over the shoulder and secured with a pin from the inside. Unfold the pleats for a dramatic look.

Having made a cape from a large scarf, secure it with a brooch at the throat, and tuck the edges into the belt. The warmth will be on your shoulders and upper back.

Cape poncho

A poncho with a hood made of the same wide stole will save you from the cold wind. We connect two points of the upper edge with a pin to create a large armhole. Now we thread the head through and secure the loose ends behind the back. All that remains is to put on the hood.

Poncho with hood

Super volume

To achieve large volume, you need to take a wide stole made of loose material. Felted thin, carelessly thrown over the shoulders will give incredible delicate volume.

Thick knot

Make such a spectacular knot. How to do it correctly:

Throw the fabric over your shoulders, making one end longer and the other shorter.
Make three turns with the long edge. There should be two identical ends left.
Place the long end under the formed third loop from top to bottom.
Tie the ends in a knot, tuck them under the loop, and straighten them.

Tourniquet

An air cord can replace beads or a necklace. It's very easy to make. Fold a thin scarf so that you get a narrow ribbon to wrap around your neck. A tight rope is twisted from the tails, and several turns are made with it.

From the remaining fabric you can form a bow, butterfly, or flower. This decoration looks great with a dress, jacket, or coat.

Light clothing: top, vest, skirt

In hot weather, make a top from a lightweight fabric. How to tie:

Take a beach pareo and place it on your chest.
Tie the corners at the top around your neck, the knot should be behind.
Tie the lower ends at the back.

In summer, this top is suitable for the beach. Fashionable and comfortable!

The skirt is “sewn” in two counts:

Wrap a long piece of fabric around your hips once.
Then, turn it over from the front twice, then wrap it as many times as there is enough fabric. The tip must be tucked inside.

Another option for a skirt: wrap a square scarf around yourself and pin it at the back of the waist with a pin. Let the remaining fabric hang freely.

What is a stole?

A stole is a rectangular scarf, 50 to 200 cm long, made of wool, linen, viscose and other materials. This is a multifunctional clothing accessory. It perfectly protects its owner from the cold in autumn and winter, and makes her style more elegant, beautiful and sophisticated in summer.

It can be used not only as a means of insulation, but also as an additional accessory to clothing that successfully corrects a woman’s figure. For example, if you have a pear-shaped figure, draping it over your shoulders can make your figure more proportional. If you have an “apple” body shape, using a scarf that hangs loosely to the knees at the ends can easily achieve a more elongated and slender figure.

How to tie a stole scarf on a coat

One luxurious detail can completely change a girl's inconspicuous image. The video shows how the ability to tie a simple fabric makes the same coat unique.

Hooded

Designers recommend choosing such options without excess volume.

If a voluminous hood is worn on the head, then a small scarf made of thin yarn should be tied under it. You can simply tie it around your neck and let the edges fall onto your chest.

Another suitable option is when the scarf is pulled under the hood over outerwear.

If the upper part of the coat is not fully buttoned, you can tie a warm woolen stole, wrapping it twice.

With English collar

This coat model has a deep neckline that needs to be beautifully closed. It is best to tie the scarf around your neck several times. Then the folds need to be straightened so that several tiers are formed on the chest. To secure the composition, use a brooch or decorative pin.

A round massive brooch can be used to pin a cloth draped over the shoulders. This technique allows you to quickly decorate your image.

A quick way to change your image is to wrap the fabric around your neck and hide the free edges under the neckline.

Close the shallow depth of the cutout with a figure-of-eight knot.

With fur collar

This coat should not be overloaded with voluminous scarves; just tie a small beautiful scarf. If the fur is dark, then this accessory should become a bright accent. A scarf made of chiffon or silk is suitable.

Without collar

If the coat is without a collar and without a hood, then stylists recommend tying a voluminous knot. This makes the image more visually attractive. To create a bright accent, give preference to contrasting scarves.

An exquisite collar will help replace the collar. For this you need a long thin scarf. Throw it around your neck and tie the ends. Twist the fabric ring and thread the head through the loop.

With stand-up collar

How to tie a cape with a waterfall
A method called “Waterfall” looks elegant. To tie a scarf with a waterfall, you need:

Lay the fabric so that the short edge reaches your waist.
Throw the long part back.
Pinch one edge with your fingers and secure it under the folds of the fabric at the back.

A cashmere stole goes beautifully with a plain demi-season coat. Fabrics trimmed with fur will add special chic to the look.

The simple “Loophole” method will help you decorate your coat. Even a thick scarf will work for this method. Fold the canvas in half. Drape it around your neck and tuck the edges into the loop.

A large, warm knot called “Reverse Loop” is suitable for a coat without a collar at all. It is a continuation of the loop. We thread only one edge into the first loop, then make a figure eight and insert the other end into a new loop.

Reverse loop

Rules for combining with outerwear

In the cold season, when ladies wear dark coats and jackets, bright stoles will help diversify the style.

When using textile decoration for warm tweeds, you need to remember that the material of the product should not be too thin; it is better to give preference to knitted scarves, angora, wool, and cashmere. But the color scheme and pattern can be anything: bright summer motifs will create a feeling of comfort and good mood.

The selection of accessories depends on the type of product:

Jackets and down jackets look great with small and medium scarves, the ends of which do not extend beyond the model or are tucked inside.
For natural fur coats, you should choose an accessory made of natural silk or viscose. Scarves with hand embroidery look beautiful. An expensive item requires that the fabric of the decorative element be appropriate.
Coats and short coats open up wide opportunities for using all kinds of decorations. Any types of materials and combinations are suitable for them.
If you like to wear a raincoat with a belt, then the stole can be safely tucked under it. Don’t hide the ends in the folds of your clothes; a colorful print will highlight your originality.

If your wardrobe only has a coat with a collar, you can hide it in two ways: lift it up and decorate it with a scarf, or cover your chest with a wide cloth so that the collar is hidden under the fabric. Decorate the design with a beautiful brooch or decorative pin.

A fabric knitted as follows will look very original:

Hold the product in your hand and wrap it around your collarbones so that a short and a long end remain. The long piece wraps around the neck again and, when finished, hides under the material. The result is a stylish drapery.

When combining, the type of tailoring of the product is taken into account:

Coat with a hood - the canvas covers the back, one tip should reach the collarbone, the other should be wrapped by twisting twice, after which the canvases are connected.
With a collar - choose wide cuts of opaque textiles to easily hide the collar.
Down jackets without a collar are draped with voluminous designs.

Stoles look best on simple, straight-cut coats without a collar. In this case, the fabric can be tied in any way.

A snood scarf perfectly complements the classic trend: the material is held together and then wound in one or two twisted figure eights. Snood protects well from cold and wind, while maintaining the aesthetics and attractiveness of the image.

Fur scarves look stylish on classic trench coats. Models decorated with pom-poms, tassels and fringe themselves look very stylish and fresh.

The best choice would be to simply throw the product over your shoulders or twist it no more than once.

In recent years, scarves with national Russian patterns or embroidery have become popular again. Colorful and fiery motifs will add warmth and good mood.

For bright clothes you need to choose muted colors, for dark ones - colorful designs with interesting patterns.

Looks for autumn and winter

If you are thinking about what you will wear in the cold - autumn or winter, then look at a selection of photos of fashionable scarves for the 2020-2021 season. This will help you model images of different styles, warm, comfortable, interesting.

Although a winter fur coat is already a decoration in itself, a fashionable accessory will add even more sophistication to the lady. A satin scarf, tied at an angle forward, will go well with the fur coat; the ends should be hidden under the fabric.

For a down jacket, choose a flannelette scarf made of soft wool or knitwear. A knitted one will also work if you tie it under the hood.

On a warm autumn day, put on a suit with a beautiful linen over it. Warm capes under a belt look chic with a suit.

A plain raincoat will be decorated with a colored chiffon scarf. Use this idea. Fold the square scarf into a triangle, then wrap it around your neck.

A cape with a trench coat is a classic look. A bright accent on the shoulders will add a mischievous drop. Choose a bright fashionable print, for example, ethnic, decorate with a trench coat.

Which scarf is better to choose?

Undoubtedly, for warmth it is better to choose wool, knitted or cashmere fabrics.

And now the main thing! Accessories are worn for more than one season, so choose them in a shade that matches your color type.

If you wear plain clothes, then the stole can be with a bright print. In this case, the bag, gloves, and shoes should be in calm tones.

Also look at the structure of the fabric you choose and the main garment. A thick, dense accessory will look ridiculous on a light raincoat.

The length of the scarf and its width also matter. In most cases, in order to tie a knot, the length should be 170-180 cm and the width 30-70 cm.

How to tie a stole on your head in different ways

Tying methods

There are many options for how to tie a stole around your neck in different ways, which differ in the density of the fabric - warm and light.

Methods with a warm stole

The most standard option for tying a stole on a spring-autumn coat is a basic knot. To do this, fold the fabric in half. You will end up with a loop. Now insert the loose ends through the loop and tighten around your neck.

You can beautifully emphasize your breasts using the draping technique:

Place a scarf over your head to create a hat or turban.
Cross the ends at the neck and bring them forward.
Place the result on your coat.

To tie a beautiful stole on a coat with a small collar, you can make a twisted loop (necklace):

Make a tourniquet from a scarf.
Secure the result with a basic knit knot.

It is interesting to tie a wide scarf with a waterfall from warm fabric. To do this, throw the material over your shoulders and tie an ordinary double knot. Now straighten the fabric so that it gently covers your shoulders.

The knot does not have to be tied in the middle - one shifted to the side looks very gentle.

The infinity weave can be worn with any type of coat without a hood. Technology:

Drape the fabric over your shoulders.
Tie the ends with a double knot.
Twist the resulting circle in the middle to make the number 8.
Now we fold the resulting infinity and put it on the neck. Moreover, the overlap should remain in front.

You can beautifully tie a voluminous stole around your neck using double weave. To do this, wrap the scarf around your neck so that the ends are crossed behind your back. Then we pull one edge through the necklace on the neck, and pull the second edge into the resulting loop. This method is universal and suitable for going to work and evening walks.

If there is a strong wind outside, then the question of how to tie a stole is very acute. There is a cool option. To do this, leave most of the fabric on the chest, cross the edges behind the neck, bring them under the fabric in front and tie a knot.

Methods for a light stole

You can tie your neck in the fall or in the spring with light stoles. A necklace with a basic knot, like from the previous point, will look very beautiful. But there are other interesting ways.

For example, a double knot. To do this, make a loop on the chest, crossing the edges of the scarf at the back. Then slide the edges through the front loop and you're done. For volume, you can expand the fabric a little.

Interesting ways to wear a light stole with a coat are braids and figure eights. The methods are shown in the photo and video below.

The second method of tying a scarf is even simpler, but the end result is no worse. See the photo below how to do this.

A warm scarf or stole can be tied in another very simple way. First you need to tie together the opposite ends of the product. We put the resulting loop around the neck, twist it in front and wrap it around the neck so that the fastening point is at the back and is not noticeable. All that remains is to smooth out the folds beautifully. Hats are very suitable for such stylish insulation: knitted hats, berets, fedora-type hats.

How to tie a stole - methods

Let's look at the most common methods of tying a stole, ranging from simple to somewhat intricate.

How to tie a stole using the "loose ends" method

Throwing the stole around the neck, the loose ends are thrown forward, over the shoulders. Basically, the scarf is wrapped around the neck and the ends are left on the chest as decoration. The ends of the stole, depending on the length, can simply hang down, or you can tie them with a light knot.

How to tie a stole using the Long Tail method

Throw the scarf around your neck, throw one end behind your back, and decorate the front folds beautifully. For better fixation of the stole, you can secure it with a pin from the inside (on the shoulder).

In this simplest variation, both voluminous and narrow stole models look beautiful.

How to tie a stole using the “Loop” method

The stole is folded in half in width and draped over the neck. The ends of the scarf are threaded into the loop formed (when folded). The degree of tightening of the stole can be different: tight and clear or loose and airy.

Light summer scarves tied with a “Loop” can be additionally decorated with a brooch or a decorative flower (as in the photo).

How to tie a stole using the “Reverse Loop” method

Variation on the theme "Loop". Perform the same manipulations as described in the previous method (step No. 1), but first thread only one end of the stole into the loop (step No. 2), and thread the other end into the other loop (step No. 3), pull the ends slightly (step No. 4).

How to tie a stole using the “Twist” method

Twist the stole slightly along the fabric, wrap it around the neck, crossing it in one place, and carefully tie it, hiding the ends under the bottom.

This method is great for wide and long scarves. A narrow stole after twisting will look too short. Great for women with thin and long necks.

How to tie a stole using the “Hood” method

The stole is twisted around the neck twice, crossing and tying a small knot at the back (following the principle of the previous method). One layer of stole is slightly pulled out and used as a hood or hood.

The method is convenient due to its versatility, turning a scarf into a headdress and vice versa. In this form, the stole resembles the well-known snood.

How to tie a “Volume Arc” stole

A simple method is to tie the ends of the stole, move the knot under the neck, and spread the scarf beautifully across the chest. You can also twist it slightly by adding voluminous folds.

Popular men's knots

Men care more about the comfort than the attractiveness of their clothes. Therefore, men's methods of tying knots should be simple and quick. From all the variety, such nodes are distinguished.

"Parisian" or "French"

The knot is easy to tie, retains heat well, and looks stylish. Pairs with any outfit - from a casual sweater to a business suit.

It can be tied either on top or under clothing, hiding the ends. The length of the stole should be sufficient.

To tie such a knot, you need to fold the scarf in half, throw it over your neck, and thread the ends into the resulting loop. Tighten the knot until it is comfortable.

One turn

To tie this sports-youth knot, you need a fairly long scarf. Wrap it once around your neck, leaving both ends in front. This method is good for winter. The neck and throat will be securely covered.

Cape

An elegant way to wear a scarf is to throw it on without tying it. It is good for a walk in early autumn or late spring. Great for a suit or jacket, jumper or cardigan with a V-neck.

No knots, just throw on the scarf and tuck the ends into the inside of the jacket along the lapel line.

"Ascot"

The Ascot knot looks very elegant. Its function is not insulation, but image.

How to tie: take a scarf or scarf and place it over your shoulders. Cross the ends and fold the bottom inward. Adjust the folds so that it is comfortable and the stole does not move.

In the style of an artist

Many creative people like to tie a scarf, leaving one end in front and the other behind the back. This method is not suitable for a cold winter, but it will look great at a party or creative evening.

Double knot

Cold wind or severe frost are not scary if you tie a scarf around your neck twice. However, this method will require a very long canvas, at least one and a half meters.

Place the scarf so that one end is at chest level, and wrap the other part around your neck twice, covering all open areas. Fix the ends between layers.

Proper care of the stole

To ensure that your items last for years, use these simple tips for caring for your items.

Caring for a fur stole

The most expensive fur cape will be difficult to care for.

Natural fur loves fresh cold air. Therefore, you need to take the fur cape out onto the balcony from time to time. If you shake it well, the villi will rise, the fur will become fluffy and voluminous.

In order for the absorbed odors to disappear, you need to leave the stole hanging in the air.

If the fur cape is wrinkled, spray clean water from a spray bottle and carefully comb it with a fine comb, first against the pile, and then along the pile. Shake it, let it dry, it will be as good as new.

How to wash a cashmere or wool stole

It is better to wash a wool or cashmere scarf by hand in slightly warm water. Otherwise, the fabric will “sit down” and shrink.

For washing, use hair shampoo or a special detergent.

Soak the stole and leave it in the water until it cools down. Then lightly squeeze the fabric, wring it out without twisting. Add conditioner during the final rinse. The cape will become soft and smell nice.

It is better to dry the accessory horizontally, placing a towel under it. Because when drying on a rope in a suspended state, it will stretch out and lose its shape. When dry, steam iron.
