“How do I wear a scarf?” Did you know that’s one of the most frequently googled fashion questions year after year? While there are countless ways to style the cold-weather accessory, choosing our favorite is a no-brainer. Without a doubt, this fall we're most looking forward to sporting the scarf/wrap/shawl hybrid that’s effortlessly cool. Here’s our breakdown of how to do it, but if you’re more of a visual learner, we love this handy tutorial (check out the “cozy shoulder wrap”).

Step 1: Drape your (unfolded) scarf evenly over both shoulders.

Step 2: Pull one of the front corners back behind the opposite shoulder, tucking it underneath the scarf.

Step 3: Take the remaining front corner, place it over the opposite shoulder, and tuck it in behind your neck to keep it in place.

Tip: The bigger the scarf, the better.

Senior Market Editor

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
