Converting your scarf into clothing is especially useful when you want to expand your wardrobe but you don’t want to buy new clothes. So, get ready to have your mind blown as we show you 8 ‘modern and trendy’ ways of how to wear a summer scarf into clothing!
How to wear a summer scarf into a bandeau
This style is commonly used by ladies, but who says that fashion is exclusive to one gender. This style is super simple to create as it really just requires you to turn into your scarf into a rectangle and then wrapping it around your torso. In addition, it’s a perfect top to wear this summer, including those of you planning to go to festivals this summer.
How to wear a summer scarf into a halter neck top
I think this style is the most elegant out of the bunch. Why do I think this? Well, it is because it reminds me of an elegant dress, especially the way it creates a V-shape collar and I believe the upper back is bare. Pop on a couple of earrings and you are ready to go to a summer gathering or party.
How to wear a summer scarf into a sleeve wrap
This beautiful and traditional Japanese style is a timeless classic. It allows you to transform your scarf into a t-shirt-like top with wide open sleeves, perfect for cooling off this summer and channelling your love for Japanese culture.
Tie scarves together to create a knot corner top
This is truly a complex style to create as it requires three scarves to create. However, it is worth the hassle as you end up creating a beautiful top. So, assemble your scarves and create this knot corner top!
Wrap a scarf into a one shoulder strap top
Okay, I must admit, this one does remind me of a toga. However, it only spans to the hips, unlike togas which drapes down to the ankles. So, this one shoulder strap top is definitely a modern twist to a classic style.
Tie scarves together to make a pair of shorts
“Who wears short shorts?… We wear short shorts” said the band The Royal Teens in their 1958 classic Short Shorts; a song dedicated entirely to their love for shorts. If you don’t have shorts or you are tired of wearing the same shorts, why not try to create a new pair of shorts by tying together four scarves.
Wrap a scarf around your hips
If you want to try another similar style to short shorts, why not try creating a short skirt around your hips. You probably need to make some modifications to the knotting style shown above if you are not wearing anything underneath the scarf, just so it covers you up accordingly. However, if you are wearing something underneath, then this is a fun and colourful style to add to your hips.
Tie a scarf into a thick waist belt
Is your dress too baggy and you don’t have a waist belt to make it tighter? Well, try using the incredibly versatile scarf to solve this problem!
