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.

Simply pick out some neutral pieces, for example black pants and a cream top, then throw it together with a scarf that suits your mood.  It could be bright and bold or have a monochromatic print-whatever suits your mood.  Then top off your look with some earrings or a simple necklace, and go face the day!

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.

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!
