The silk material can be tied loosely for a messy look or tightly for a more presentable style.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-409007124 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1-800x1200.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1-800x1200.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1-333x500.jpeg 333w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1-400x600.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Silk-Headband-1.jpeg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/> <br \/><br \/>Create a knot in the scarf to place in the front. Then tie the ends around your head in the back over your hair. You can also style it by creating a bow at the front or tucking or twisting parts of the scarf in.<br \/><br \/>If you want extra volume at the top of your head, choose silk scarves with fringes to add texture to your hairstyle.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Add_it_to_your_bun_or_braid\"><\/span>2. Add it to your bun or braid<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>A silk scarf can also be tied into a messy up-do or braided into your hair if you have long hair. <br \/><br \/>That said, you don&#8217;t have to have long hair to <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/beauty\/vintage-hairstyles\/\">style your hair<\/a> into a bun and tie a silk scarf at the base of it. Silk scarves are great accessories for any hair length because they aren&#8217;t bulky. Incorporate one to add some dimension to a simple ponytail.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Wrap_it_around_your_wrist_or_arm\"><\/span>3. Wrap it around your wrist or arm<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Wrap a small scarf around your arm or wrist like a bracelet. Tie the ends leaving only a little of the length left out, so it doesn&#8217;t get in the way. It&#8217;s a <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/granny-chic\/\">fun way to dress up<\/a> or add color to a tee-shirt and jeans look.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tie_it_around_your_belt\"><\/span>4. Tie it around your belt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>A silk scarf is beautiful on its own but has many other uses besides fashion. Try wrapping a silk scarf around your belt, creating a colorful and fun detail for your outfit. You can also use silk scarves in place of belts to add some flair to any ensemble.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Tie_it_around_your_purse\"><\/span>5. Tie it around your purse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Add a silk scarf to your bag for a pop of color and a touch of elegance. This is perfect if you are going from work to a dinner date with friends. You can even tie one to your backpack strap for school or travel.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Wear_it_as_a_Top\"><\/span>6. Wear it as a Top<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Use silk scarves in lieu of t-shirts or tank tops to add a fun sense of style to your high-waisted pants or skirt.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Tie_it_around_your_neck\"><\/span>7. Tie it around your neck<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>Silk scarves around the neck give a casual outfit a touch of glamour. Create a basic triangle look or tie it into a bow around your neck.<\/p>\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Try_some_hippie-inspired_looks\"><\/span>8. Try some hippie-inspired looks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n<p>If you are going for a more <a href=\"https:\/\/sammydvintage.com\/vintage-style\/70s-bohemian-style-brief-history\/\">bohemian look<\/a>, silk scarves can be tied into any number of looks.<br \/><br \/>Fold your square scarf into a triangle and knot the two longest ends under your hair.
