How To Tie A Scarf: 3 WaysAugust 23 2016
Scarves are a great way to accessorize your outfit without having to spend alot of time planning the look. The simple piece of fabric can add color, print, shine, and texture to any look. You can create so many different styles for each time you wear the piece.
Scarves are great for knotting, wrapping, twisting, and tying. Here are variations to style the same scarf three different ways.
We start with a scarf that is about 52" x 38", the featured scarf in this post can be seen here. This is a great size for these looks, but a similar size will do the trick as well.
- Spread the scarf wide and create a wrap. Drape the scarf around your shoulders and let it hang over the sides of you arms and down your back. You can tie both ends of the scarf together in front of your body or let it softly drape at the sides of your body.
- Hold the scarf at both ends and gently wrap it around your neck leaving plenty of room at the center loop. Fluff the ends of the scarf and the middle loop to your desired length and fullness.
- A variation of the wrap, this style helps add a dash of color or print to any outfit effortlessly. Simply hold the scarf at both ends and wrap around your neck and allow the scarf to gently fall at the front sides of your body.

MOD SQUADApril 03 2015
Compared to clothing, accessories are particularly unique because they never go out of style if you, the stylist, are wearing it up to your standards. This scarf has a chameleon like quality that seems to match just about anything.
The mod look is coming back in full effect this year and we couldn't we more thrilled. This look screams spring, beach, and frolicking in the sunshine.
Style Tips:
- Wrap this scarf around your neck to expose your arms and shoulders. Tie your hair out of the way in a top knot.
- Add simple gold or silver dainty jewelry to your wrists and fingers to add an extra special touch.
- Not into this top? No problem. This look works really well with a simple tank, light blouse, or even a casual, fitted tee with clean style lines. We recommend tucking your top into the skirt to take advantage of the button and seam details. These lines will elongate your figure.
- As always, play around with the various pieces in this clothing story. This outfit would also look great with cute flats and a simple tank tucked into the skirt.
- Need ideas to style the scarf? Check out EMKY style tips on how to tie a scarf here.

Pump Up Your BasicsFebruary 18 2015
A pair of denim jeans and a neutral top is a great base for any outfit, especially on the weekends.
Are you looking to take your outfit to the next level? Distressed denim jeans, a neutral top, and a print will bring that great base to an amazing look in a matter of seconds. Of course, we're biased, but for the print portion of the outfit, we suggest an EMKY fashion scarf. This look is perfect for walking through the city, running errands before a dinner date, or heading to happy hour. There is just enough color that pops well against the black base to give this outfit an extra wow factor.
Look up, not down. Check out another way we styled this scarf here.
Valentine's Day Date Night Look OutfitFebruary 11 2015
Love is in the air this week at EMKY Fashion Scarves! We are in full love-pink-red-candy-hearts-confetti-sweet treat-sweet notes mode. In honor of Valentine's day coming up, we put together a date night look for you. This outfit is geared towards a Valentine's date night look, but it is absolutely acceptable for other nights of the year. For this look we recommend you wear it during the months of February through August because the fun flirty tones hint at a romantic date night in February(hint, hint), to a fun lunch in May, to a flirtatious night out in August.
This fashion scarf is great for Valentine's Day because of its soft pink and peach hues, but you can compliment it with plenty more outfits with the gorgeous blues and purples mixed in this print. Heart's, checkers, and stripes dominate this over sized scarf that you can wrap around your neck or simply drape around your body in countless ways.
Remember, this is just a basic skeleton of how you can pull this look together. Take a look in your closet and see what similar pieces you may already have to complete this look. We love all the flirty elements in this date night outfit dominated with hints of gold mixed with the vibrant colors in the featured EMKY scarf. Always start with a strong piece and build from there.
Hope you enjoy this look! Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to keep up to date with EMKY. Keep us up to date with how you're styling your outfits with #emkyfashion or @emkyshop

Style Tip #3: Wrap Those Locks Up With a...September 24 2014
Style Tip #3 is all about wrapping your hair in a scarf. Anyone can do this! You can have virtually any length of hair for this to work.
This look is perfect for:
1. A bad hair day.
2. When you don't have time to wash your hair (Whoops! We won't tell! Shhhhh!!).
3. When your roots are growing out or you need a trim.
4. If you just feel like trying something new to spice up your look.
5 If you feel like your outfit is a little on the boring side and you want to add a stylish element or A PRINT!! A printed accessory is always a good idea.
Wrapping your hair in a scarf is a perfect way to add instant style to your everyday look. It's easy and quick to take your look to the next level. The scarf we used in this post is one EMKY's many fashion scarves, Striped Irony. Side note and fun fact, this was not a very popular scarf at first, but has quickly become a staff and customer favorite! It's always interesting how opinions change over the design to production phases! This particular fashion scarf is 14" X 72", super light weight, 100% silk chiffon, and is PERFECT to wrap in your hair. You can tie this effortlessly in many ways around your hair and head and it will stay put. Simply fold in half twice and tie in a double knot at the nap of your neck.
Here are 3 ways to wear:
1. Tie it around your hair and let the scarf drape over your shoulders. Try leaving your hair down for this look. But if you prefer you can...
2. Tie your hair in a loose pony tail using the scarf. You can also use an actual hair-tie if your hair is too thick. Style the scarf like a headband. Then try wrapping the scarf around your hair like a hair tie at the nap of your neck a couple of times in a single or double knot depending on the thickness of your hair.
3. Tie that hair in an oh-so-popular top knot! Easy and very little fuss required. You can leave the scarf hanging down your back or you could also tie it in a loose bow if you don't want it to drape as much.
What other ways can you think of? Let us know on our face book page or e-mail us! Stay tuned for more style tips. You can also see additional style tips here:
See you soon!
P.S. Have a great day!!
Print Spotlight: Tour De EmkyJune 26 2014
With head quarters in San Diego, out door activities are occuring around the clock all year long. This particular fashion scarf was inspired by all the biking that goes on in Cali: on the board walk in our numerous beach towns, downtown SD, even on hiking trails! This scarf is so loved because it is reminiscent of biking across town for a gorgeous day on the beach. The blue colors represent the sky and the ocean. The bike imagery speaks for itself. This print was executed with watercolor paint( love when scarf designs start as paint!). Here is the print and a great way to wear it:
Pair this scarf with dark colors or light colors! Wear over your shoulders, in your hair, or knotted like a necklace like it is shown here. Shop this look here!
Have a great day!
INSPIRE : CHANGE, 6June 03 2014
Happy Tuesday! Here are 5 ways to inspire change for yourself and for others today:
1. Give yourself a “heart change” today, smile at yourself in the mirror first thing in the morning. Treat yourself as you would a favorite friend.
2 Try to enjoy the moment. Don’t worry about what happened yesterday, an hour ago, or what will happen tomorrow. Just BE. Look around and enjoy the scenery. Breathe in and out slowly 5 times. How long did that take? Do you feel just a bit better than a minute ago? You probably do-that’s because you just let go and enjoyed the moment!
3. Ask someone what one of their very favorite things is. What's one of our favorite things? This print and wearing it this way!
4. “ A heart change”… Watch this video! Nick Vujicic is one of our heroes. He has overcome such great obstacles in his life and HE goes on to inspire change in others! A true genius!
5. Tell someone how special they are to you, write it in a note, a text, a simple pat on the back.
On that note, HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to someone very, VERY special, the Papa of emky!

Hi emky readers! Is it springing forward yet where you are at? It seems to be springing forward pretty consistently year round here at our HQs in San Diego.

emky Secret #2January 24 2014
Hey there and Happy Friday!!!!
Care for an emky secret this week? No? Yes? Sure, why not?
We want you to understand our brand better and how it effects you so you can value it as much as possible. This secret, as is last weeks, is pretty obvious to us, but may not be to you unless you really dig through emkyshop.com.
emky Secret #2....
We are dedicated to producing product in the USA. Yes, it's more expensive and can be a lengthy process, yet can simpify things at the same time. Just an FYI, if you don't know, it can be pretty cheap to produce goods overseas, but it's a rather complicated process. Our brand was designed and developed on US soil, so why not produce our goods here too? We think it's important to keep things in the USA to support our country and its work force-we believe in utilizing the resources businesses in the US have to offer.
Be mindful of what your are purchasing, try to support made in USA product when it is possible!
Check out emky secret #1 here:)
Thank you for listening to our secret and have an amazing start to your weekend!!
emky Secret #1January 14 2014
SSHHHHH!!!!! We want to tell you something...
We like Tuesdays at emky. Yes, it's no Friday. It's CERTAINLY no Saturday, but if you're doing something you love, what's the difference?
Since this is a fairly new brand and we have just started the viewing process and fashion can be a bit overwhelming, we'll be sharing a new fact every Tuesday about this brand, emky. We hope you follow along, and if there's something you'd like learn about us or would like to see, please shoot us an email, info@emkyshop.com, we'd absolutely love to hear your two cents.
emky secret #1:
We love, love, love prints. LOOOOVVVEEEEEEE prints. Let's spell it out: emky=prints.
Have you perused our shop online? We'd love for you to take a gander and tell us what print you could see yourself wearing. Or if your a guy, would you wear one of these scarves? If not, what scarf would you like to see a lady wearing?
We design everything and we knock nothing off. PROUDLY. The designs you find on our scarves are designed by emky's owner. We didn't purchase them from a studio. We didn't shop the market to find them. We didn't google "amazing prints" and send the file to our printer to create the scarves. We didn't take the concept from another brand or designer(hence, the term knock off). The designs aren't filtered through a lengthy design team. These designs are original, raw, authentic emky designs.
This means that these designs are inspired, painted, illustrated, sprayed, colored, and absolutely photoshopped(swooon, our favorite).
What's our favorite fashion scarf print thats in our shop right now? Hmmmmm, tough question. We would have to say Bugaboo Deux, In Pixelation, and Bluesy Stripes. Which were very popular picks on our contest on Facebook. Which, you should enter! It is still open, and you never know when a contest will have more then one winner;)
Thank you for reading our secret and learning a bit more about us. We look forward to sharing more next Tuesday. See, Tuesdays just got much better for us!! What are you doing to make your Tuesday more enjoyable?
Happy day and make it an awesome one.
Outfit PlanningJanuary 12 2014
Are you looking for an easy out when getting ready tomorrow morning? Mondays are a great day to try something new after a relaxing weekend. Why not freshen your look up with a scarf?
This particular look will work amazing in a creative or professional work setting. Try pairing this scarf with a dark blazer and dark pants and tie loosely down the front of your body. Try experimenting with color and shapes of scarves too-this look would also be great with indigo wash jeans and a lighter top.
Since you have a great look for tomorrow morning, now you can loose the stress, get dressed, feel amazing, and have more time for yourself to enjoy that cup of coffee or tea and not worry what to wear in the process.
Pictured is our Flamin' Cool scarf, which can be seen here.
Have a great day!
