Hoodies provide a wonderfully cozy layer that effortlessly elevates any outfit, adding both comfort and chicness. Concerned about the potential bulkiness when wearing a scarf around your neck? Fear not! You can stylishly incorporate a thick or bulky scarf under or over your hood to stay fashionable and snug on those chilly days.
Steps to Follow
Styling Thin Scarves
Zip up your hoodie completely. Slip into your hoodie and ensure it's fully zipped up to your neck, keeping warmth in without adding extra bulk to your ensemble. Hold off on pulling up the hood just yet.
- If your hoodie lacks a zipper, simply pull it over your head as usual.
- Opt for satin or silk scarves, which are typically thinner in texture.
- Consider wearing a slightly more fitted hoodie for a sleek look.
Start by folding your scarf in half. Take your scarf and fold it in half, creating a looped side in one hand. Ensure the fold is neat to maintain balance in your scarf.
- For infinity scarves, lay it flat and fold the loop in half to create two smaller loops.
- Opt for a solid-colored scarf to avoid overwhelming your outfit with too many patterns.
Wrap the scarf around your neck, keeping one side looped. Place the scarf around your neck, positioning the looped end on one side and the hanging ends on the other. Adjust the scarf until it appears even on both sides.
- If you're using an infinity scarf, pull both small loops over your neck.
Thread the hanging ends through the loop. Hold the hanging ends of the scarf in one hand and the looped end in the other. Pull the hanging ends through the loop to secure the scarf snugly around your neck.
- If you're sporting an infinity scarf, flatten the back to avoid bulkiness around your neck.
Drape the excess ends of the scarf over your hoodie. Extend the hanging ends of the scarf over your chest, covering the zipper of your hoodie. Ensure the scarf is centered to maintain symmetry in your outfit.
- If your hoodie lacks a zipper, align the scarf with the pocket to achieve balance.
- Adjust an infinity scarf to ensure both small loops are even.
Pro Tip: For scarves shorter than 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m), try tucking them into your hoodie instead of draping them over.
Keep warm by pulling your hood up. Cover your head and neck by pulling your hood over the scarf. This provides maximum warmth by also covering your ears.
- If you're wearing a hat, you can skip putting your hood up.
Styling Thick Scarves
Zip up your hoodie and put the hood on. To accommodate bulky scarves, wear them over your hoodie to avoid excess fabric under your hood. Zip up your hoodie and put the hood on.
- If your hoodie doesn't have a zipper, simply pull it over your head and keep the hood up.
Place the scarf over your neck with one side longer than the other. Hold each end of the scarf and drape it over your neck. Slide the left side down to make it twice as long as the right side.
- Exact lengths aren't necessary.
Pro Tip: For blanket scarves, fold them in half lengthwise for easier tying, then drape them over your neck.
Loop the longer end around your neck once. Take the left side of your scarf and wrap it over your right shoulder, then bring it down to your left shoulder, encircling your neck.
- If needed, throw the scarf over your shoulder to reach the other side.
Ensure both ends of the scarf are even. Adjust each side until they're roughly the same length. Ensure the scarf isn't too tight around your neck and feels comfortable.
- Always remove your scarf before attempting to take off your hood or hoodie to avoid getting stuck.
