STYLE: 10 Ways to Wear an Infinity Scarf
It’s no secret ’round these parts that I’m a fan of scarves. ALL of the scarves. I don’t think I’ve ever met a scarf I didn’t like. Okay, there’s probably a scarf out there that I don’t like… but you get my point.
Anyway, as the days are getting cooler and scarves are coming out in full force (although, on a side note, I believe in wearing scarves year round), I’ve had a couple of you ask me about some different ways to wear an INFINITY scarf (aka: my favorite of all the types of scarves).
For those of you that don’t know, an infinity scarf is basically one giant loop of fabric. It can also be called the circle scarf. So, circle scarf / infinity scarf. Potato / po-tah-toe.
So, I thought I’d show you just SOME of the ways you can wear an infinity scarf. You can really get creative!
UPDATE: So many of you have emailed and asked me where I get so many of my scarves and what scarves I’d love or recommend… here are some of my favorites right now (all less than $40!!):
For those of you that are wondering, the scarf that I’m using as an example in this post is a thin cotton ikat infinity scarf from Ooh Baby Designs. You can get a similar one here!
Here is the infinity scarf I’m using for this lil’ tutorial:
10 Ways to Wear an Infinity Scarf
1. The single loop: simply wear the scarf around your neck as is. Fluff it out. Think of it like a big necklace!
2. The Knot: Loop the scarf around your neck, then tie a single knot towards the bottom of the scarf. Voila!
3. The Shawl: Place the whole scarf over your head, under your arms, and around your chest. Then, take one side of the scarf and back over your head. Fluff it out and make it into a shawl!
(Admittedly, this style works better with a larger / fluffier scarf, but you catch my drift) 
4. The Turtleneck: Loop the scarf around your neck twice, then pull down on one loop so that the top loop hugs your neck. 
5. The Bow: Hold both sides of the scarf together, fold the scarf in half around your neck, and then tie it in a bow and angle to the side. A very chic, classy style! 
6. The Fat Loop: Hold both ends of the scarf, wrap the scarf around your neck, then loop one end through the other open end of the scarf but don’t pull it all the way through. Fluff it out at the end. 
7. The Tie: Follow the SAME steps as #6, but this time, pull the looped end all the way through. You could wear it off to the side or at the center.
8. The Hood: Loop the scarf around your neck, twist it into another loop and place over your head. This is a great style for those cold, rainy days!
(I feel very Judy Garland in Meet Me in St. Louis in this style)
9. The Double Loop: Loop the scarf around your head, twist, then loop again. Fluff it out for maximum effect.
10. The Flower: Loop the scarf around your head, then start twisting the end of the scarf so it starts to tighten up. The scarf will begin to “roll” on top of itself. Keep rolling and tucking the scarf so it makes what looks like a flower or rose on the end. Just keep tucking to your liking! There’s no wrong way to do it.
So there you have it! 10 ways to wear your infinity scarf!
What are your favorite ways to wear an infinity scarf?
I loop mine 3 times and pull one loop up as a headband. Because I never do what is expected lol. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3f6cde7ec46abbbc51dbdc0c734c902ae4fc6b47f849a2a57a172092092fe88d.jpg
I found you by googling “how to wear an infinity scarf” in the car, as my hubby was literally driving us to his office Christmas party. Thanks for being there to avert a certain wardrobe crisis!
Thank you! I have an infinity scarf that is TOO poofy and the knot is the perfect way to tame it. Yay!
Thanks! My mom bought 2 of those last week, 1 for me, 1 for her and I had no idea how to “operate” it and not strangle myself. I love the version with hood.
Great ideas! Thanks for posting.
I really enjoyed watching the different ways to wear the infinite scarves , I just started wearing scarves lately and I really needed some help with how to wear them, this was very pretty and interesting.
I recently did a post on scarves after watching a great video. Love the fact that all of your looks are with an infinity scarf though. Thanks for sharing, I can’t wait to try a few of these looks!
Love this, the double loop is for sure my fav!

I’m going to give it a try! I love the look of a scarf but for some reason it always gets on my nerves within the first hour. I’m going to try it with a smaller version like yours.
Great ideas Molly! I love the knotted ideas! Susan
Love this. Thank you!
I LOVE scarves! I have two fluffy ones and last year I finally got a normal scarf. (I’m not savvy on scarf lingo. lol) I’m excited to try all the ways to tie it! I have a Pinterest board for just scarves! haha I’d really love to be able to try out more colors and styles of scarves. They’re so gorgeous and really make a look! 🙂
