Methods of tying scarves around the neck under a collar coat are different. You can also use options for a bandage on a coat. The difference will be in the fabric used. It is better not to tie scarves made of "heavy" materials under the coat.
On a collarless coat
Collarless coats allow you to choose any option for using a scarf. Small kerchiefs, covering the neck tightly, and large shawls, covering not only the shoulders, but also the upper body, are appropriate here.
- This method is suitable for those who do not like difficulties. The scarf is wrapped around the neck, on the back, the hanging ends cross and come back forward. The right end of the scarf hangs freely, and the left end is pulled through the loop once or twice, so it is on top. For this shape, it is better to choose plain shawls. Since the drawing can get lost.
- Playfully. This option is similar to the previous one. Only in the end, both ends of the scarf are tied, then the transition is hidden under the fabric. You don't have to hide the knot. This option gives lightness to the image. But you need to be careful with tightly woven scarves. It is not always possible to tie them nicely, and with such a tying, they may look unattractive.
- Cape. You will need a large size scarf. The scarf must be folded diagonally. Throw over shoulders and upper body. Throw one end of the scarf over the opposite shoulder back.
Warm shawl for a fur coat
A scarf for a fur coat is chosen from a dense warm material due to the time of wearing. Although thin scarves can be used with some products. It is advised to wear a warm scarf under a fur coat, and not on top, since the last option damages the fur and the fur coat may lose its beauty.
- For the first method, you can choose a bright colorful scarf or a scarf contrasting with the color of the fur coat. The scarf is folded diagonally, thrown over the shoulders, the wide end on the back. On the chest, one end is pounced on the other, wrapped around, and a fur coat is put on. With a deep cut of a fur coat, the color of the scarf will emphasize its beauty.
- This method is suitable for fur or cashmere shawls. It is necessary to wrap the scarf around the neck, as long as the length of the product allows. Fix the end under the resulting shape. It is best to use this option with short mink coats. Since voluminous fur coats with long fur will not be combined with a scarf fabric.
- A fur coat with a stand-up collar and a round neckline requires a special way so that the zest of the product is not lost. In this case, it is better to use a thinner scarf so that the collar remains visible. The scarf is folded into a narrow strip, a knot is tied in the middle, slightly tightened. Then you need to position the scarf around the neck so that the knot is in front of the center of the neck. The ends of the scarf are crossed at the back, brought forward and threaded into this knot. If desired, you can leave them like this, or hide them.

Shawl tying ideas using accessories
Various decorations can be found on modern scarves. These are fur inserts, leather particles, precious stones, beads, beads, metal parts. Some of the scarf accessories are of practical value.

The proximal ends of the scarf are captured and threaded alternately towards each other through both button holes. It turns out a cape with a decoration in the middle.
- Beads. This jewelry looks very good with both plain and colored shawls. Small pearls are more suitable for a small thin scarf. Larger beads will decorate shawls of large sizes or from dense fabrics. The scarf is folded diagonally, then folded several times until a kind of rope is formed. It should be wrapped around the buttoned beads so that the ends of the scarf are in front. The ends can be tied and straightened slightly. And you can hide it under the cloth of a scarf.
- Clamp. A scarf is taken from a light fabric of a large size. The neck is wrapped with a scarf from front to back, the ends cross at the back of the head and come back forward. The corners of the ends closest to each other are grasped and threaded into the clamp. It turns out a three-dimensional triangle, beautifully decorated with a clip in the center.
