In winter, walking bareheaded is dangerous for your health, so we use all kinds of hats. Some women tie scarves on their heads instead of traditional hats. Note that today this accessory does not look old-fashioned at all. Thanks to the wide selection of products, every woman who wants to create an original combination in clothing can safely experiment with scarves, shawls and stoles.
An original scarf tied to your head can be an excellent fashionable addition to any look. In addition, unlike a hat, a shawl can protect your ears, neck, and even part of your face. How to wear scarves in winter as a headdress?
Current scarves and shawls of the season
It's time to put your cowl scarf and arafat in the back drawer. Designers give preference to puffy models and muffler scarves. We advise you to choose accessories with intricate prints and abstractions or plain but bright ones. It’s worth remembering the last century and trying on a silk scarf, tying it at the back of your head, like Audrey Hepburn. We have collected the main trends and recommendations for combinations.
Audrey Hepburn
Aristocrat from Hollywood
Our fashionistas borrowed the “Hollywood scarf” style from American trendsetters. Beauty, elegance - this style goes well with classic outfits. Sunglasses will complete the grace and uniqueness of your look. A tying technique consisting of several simple steps that can be easily repeated:
- The color scheme of the material chosen to your taste is folded in half to form a scarf.
- We throw the scarf over the head so that the edge of the hair is visible from under it.
- We cross the free ends and wrap them around the neck and bring them back.
- Tie a double knot at the back of the head.
- Wear sunglasses.
- Ready. A Hollywood aristocrat looks at you from the mirror.
Stole
A scarf in the shape of a large rectangle made of light but warm fabric is confidently gaining the attention of fashion houses. The stole is popular in the collections of the mass market Zara, Mango, H&M. The model is also common among premium brands: Moncler, Hermes, Gucci.

The stole can be thrown over the shoulders, using it as a cape, as the famous Olsen sisters do. Combine a scarf draped over your shoulders with a long sleeve or thin cardigan and coat. Get a casual look for everyday outings.

@farfetch
For lovers of boho style, we recommend wearing a stole on your head like a turban. The look will be moderately vintage and stylish. The main rule is to combine the accessory with more casual clothes so that you don’t end up with a cartoonish outfit.
@gucci
@louisvuitton
We love the trend of tying a stole in a knot at the top of the head. The designers were inspired by the looks of Caucasian and Turkish girls, but adapted them, diluting the outfit with sportswear and oversized clothing. Max Mara took a voluminous sheepskin coat, an oversized dress and massive glasses, and H&M took a casual bomber jacket and loose trousers.

Pirate girl
You can create a beautiful look for walks, relaxing on the beach and dates by mastering the technique of tying a scarf in a pirate style. A headdress will add a slight flirtatiousness to the image and charge you with positivity. Easy way to tie:
- Fold the material into a scarf.
- Cover your head with it, partially covering your forehead, the ends should hang down.
- Take the ends and gradually twist them inward, bringing them to the back of the head.
- Tie a knot, which can be moved to the side if desired.
- Leave the ends hanging freely.
- The image of a cute pirate is ready.
Scarf muffler
A long rectangular scarf, similar to the scarves of football fans, is also in trend. We recommend wearing it mainly around the neck and choosing options made of thick fabric. Beneton creates a bright casual look with jeans and a jacket. You can combine a muffler with an elegant coat, trousers, or turtleneck.

@loropianaofficial
Try tying a scarf in a knot, like Lime, Jil Sander and blogger Marianne do. It is better to combine this type of tying with classic clothes, creating a contrast.
@marianne_theodor
@lime_official
A bolder option is to wear a scarf with a belt. We recommend choosing turtlenecks, tight-fitting shirts and long sleeves to go with them. But it’s better to avoid bulky sweaters. When paired with such a scarf, they will visually fill out your look.
@falierosarti
Fixing the headdress
A strong gusty wind in winter is trying to tear the scarf off your head. And the product can “slide” through the hair if it is made, for example, of silk or viscose.
What to do in this case, how to keep it on your head? One option is to use regular safety pins. They chip off the most problematic areas of the headdress.
Some people pin brooches instead of pins, which can be an excellent decorative element for a scarf. Brooches are often pinned to secure the ends. You can use decorative clips (“toads”, “crocodiles”) or even ordinary invisible hairpins.
Kerchief
It's time to throw away the prejudice that headscarves are an element of a summer wardrobe, because they have long been made from thick fabrics. The most classic way to wear it is to tie it on your head, as Jackie Kennedy did. It looks very elegant and not at all in the spirit of Russian folk tales, as many are accustomed to thinking.
@isabelmarant
Moncler offers an original outfit with a headscarf, jacket and skirt made of puffed fabric. Isabel Marant combines it with a dress, a thick shirt and a long sleeve, getting a trendy layered look.
@moncler
@louisvuitton
For lovers of aristocratic and elegant looks, a combination of a scarf with a brooch, like Louis Vuitton, is suitable. Choose a brooch to match the color of your scarf or, on the contrary, play with contrasts.
@ralphlauren
If you are French at heart, tie a scarf around your neck the French way. Of course, this will not provide warmth, but together with your favorite sweater and classic shirt it looks stylish.
@ralphlauren

@isabelmarant
For a boho outfit, a scarf tied like a cowboy around the neck with a knot backwards is perfect. Combine with a shirt and jeans. You can complement your look with a leather jacket or coat.
@mango
A headscarf looks original with another headdress, especially with baseball caps. It sounds strange, but the image turns out warmer. A great option if you only have light and thin scarves. So Mango combines it with a fur baseball cap, tying a scarf under the chin. You can play up the look with a bomber jacket or hoodie, as sport-chic looks look especially impressive with a headscarf.
@isabelmarant
Isabel Marant is even more risky - they combine a retro headscarf with a tracksuit and a fanny pack. Another option from the brand is a vintage style look with a colorful floor-length dress, boots and a headscarf.

Small scarves as headwear
Various small scarves are most often considered neck scarves, that is, they are traditionally tied as a scarf. Typically, such haberdashery is made from not very dense material (for example, natural or artificial silk). So in the cold season, such a product is unlikely to be a good way to protect your head from frost.
But no one says that such scarves cannot be worn at above-zero temperatures. A small scarf is often worn by women who drive their own cars; it can perfectly protect their ears from drafts. The accessory is also used as an element of a hairstyle (a bang retainer, for example).
Puffed scarf
The dutik scarf will become the warmest accessory in your wardrobe. Head to the delicate Jil Sander shoes or choose the brutal ones from the Moncler and Rick Owens collaboration. Puffed quilted scarves are also no less popular. This is a universal accessory, but be careful when combined with glamor style clothes and fur coats - it may look too eccentric.

How to wear fashion items
It's not enough to just choose a trendy accessory. You still need to wear it correctly and be able to tie it beautifully, or maybe just throw it on your main bow. You can use our simple tips:
- The French knot is a classic option for wearing an accessory. This knot is suitable for fashion items of any thickness. To do this you need to fold it in half. Wrap around your head. And thread the ends into the resulting loop.
- “Easy Throw” is a simple design for the always busy. You can style a long thin scarf or stole this way. Everything is done very simply: you throw the scarf over your shoulders and place one end overlapping on the other shoulder, on the opposite side.
- “Side loop” - for this method you will need a long and thin specimen. The neck is wrapped with the product at the back. The ends are thrown over one shoulder and tied into a knot. As a result, only one end of the scarf hangs in front.
- "Lazy tying." Follow the habits of famous designers who don't even tie scarves. Simply throw them over your shoulders and align the edges with the bottom.
- Asymmetry is a rather extraordinary way to wear a scarf. In this option, you also don’t need to tie anything. A scarf or stole is thrown over one shoulder and secured at the waist with a belt or sash. This method will perfectly complement the overall onion, and will also warm you up.
Fur scarf
Gucci shows us how to wear glamorous 2000s-style fur scarves with pantsuits. Of course, the photo shows a more summer option, but add a coat and the look will become stylish and warm.

Choosing a scarf
To be fashionable and stylish in the winter season, mastering the technique of tying a scarf is not enough. You also need to choose the right color and texture of the material of the headdress so that it matches the outerwear, matches fashion trends and at the same time is warm and practical.
In the winter season, it is advisable to give preference to products made from cashmere, angora or wool. They are warm and soft, which will warm you from frost and winter cold.
In summer, it is preferable to wear scarves made of light and natural fabrics. Chiffon, cotton, silk will not only cover your head from the scorching rays of the sun, but will also save your hair from the influence of ultraviolet radiation.
In the spring-autumn period, the fabric should be chosen dense and soft fabric.
Knitted scarves
Knitted scarves, like from childhood, are what you need for everyday outings. Take a closer look at scarves in bright shades, such as yellow, like Miu Miu, and combine them with jeans, a nude sweater and jacket.

Large knitting
A stylish and remarkable scarf this season is offered with a large knit. This textured scarf model looks best in deep, noble shades of brown, cream, beige, chocolate, emerald, and burgundy. Often such models are not too wide, but quite long, and can be complemented with pom-poms.
Bright shawls and scarves
Designers presented accessories in a variety of colors on the catwalk. Models at the Miu Miu fall-winter 2021 show showed scarves and balaclavas in shades of pink, green and yellow.

Oversized
Elongated and dense scarf models look very impressive, creating additional volume and accentuating the image. New oversized scarves should be worn with one free edge thrown over the shoulder. The basic option is a voluminous oversized scarf with fringe and beige color, which will suit any of your looks this fall-winter.
Printed scarves
Place your bet on scarves with colorful prints. Pay attention to the chain pattern, geometric patterns, floral motifs and colors in a futuristic style.
Hermès opted for a color combination, choosing a simple print. The accessory will become an accent, so choose the bottom and top in basic shades and avoid the abundance of complex patterns on clothes.

The most trendy accessory of the season
Trends for 2021 include more feminine models in clothing, and sporty style is fading into the background. Models of various sizes, shades and prints are increasingly appearing in the collections of fashion houses. They can be worn at any time of the year, from the beaches to creating a winter look.
Current trends include:
- plain rich tones;
- oriental with a combination of bright shades;
- with shine and bright details;
- two-tone contrasting shades, such as black and white;
- light textiles in hair;
- as a bandage.
Various wearing solutions are available. They look good both in winter and in hot weather. Satin, wool blend, synthetic and cotton materials are available.
A tassel finish is offered, but a neat, smooth edge is possible without additional elements. If you plan to wear it under clothes, it is better to choose a plain product without additional decorations.
When choosing, take into account features of appearance, such as eye and hair color. This is important when worn as a headdress.
For girls with blond hair, light shades of peach, yellow, and light brown are suitable. If you have a cold type of appearance, you can choose black and pink, blue, and emerald.
Fur
A chic accessory that will add chic and luxury to your looks this fall and winter. A fur scarf can be worn draped around your neck or pinned to your chest. Since designers and fashionistas are crazy about the variations of faux fur this season, there may be plenty of options for a fur scarf to choose the perfect style for any look.
Current trends
The collections of leading fashion designers are replete with bright motifs embodied on the canvases of famous Pavlovo Posad shawls, which add Russian flavor to global fashion trends.
Posad shawls appear on fragile women's shoulders with the first autumn cold, and then migrate to jackets, fur coats and coats. They stylishly help you stay warm on cold days and organically complement your fashionable look.
An original Russian accessory conquers the world's catwalks
The popular belief that Pavloposad scarves are a privilege of the “grandmother’s” style can be refuted - you need to know how to wear them and choose the right companion items:
- This primordially Russian attribute will adorn any look, but the more well-groomed a woman looks, the more refined the accessory is perceived;
- The main condition for wearing a scarf is a balanced silhouette. A bulky shawl can create imbalance if combined with loose clothing;
- The generous color scheme must be balanced with calm colors of clothing. It is desirable that it be combined with the main tones of the product or contrast favorably against their background;
- Posad scarves can be combined with any style of clothing, even the most daring combinations. With the help of light colors you can emphasize the office style, neutralizing excessive severity and restraint.
Numerous photos in fashion magazines and all sorts of videos on social networks show how to beautifully tie scarves on your head, turning a “grandmother’s” attribute into a modern stylish accessory.
Long
Some scarves this season are made in an extremely long design, sometimes reaching the floor. At the same time, they look chic and expressive in the image. Long scarves are most often knitted, so if you have knitting skills, then you can knit a cool scarf yourself for the autumn-winter season 2021-2022 and be on trend.
