How to Wear a Blanket Scarf

IMG_0564

Blanket Scarves, over-sized square scarves, are one of my favorite trends this season.

Functional, versatile and super stylish they make for the perfect fall/winter accessory.  Plus how could you not feel cozy in something that contains the word “Blanket”.

Upon first glance they can be a bit intimidating.  I mean what exactly should one do with all that fabric?

Well, the trick to wearing a blanket scarf is all in the folding- and I’m going to break it down for you, with three variations, using this fall-tastic plaid David & Young blanket scarf. 

The Loose Handkerchief.

Step 1- begin with the blanket scarf unfolded.

Step 2- Fold the scarf in half diagonally to create a triangle.

Step 3- grab two or three handfuls from the top so that your fingers are pinching the sides with about 8-9 inches of the corners hanging down.

Step 4: with the Triangle in front wrap the ends around the back of your neck and then let them hang on each side of the triangle.
