A boho-inspired headband style works wonders for casual days or music festivals. To create this look, fold the scarf into a long strip, place it over your head, and tie it at the back, leaving the ends to hang loose or tuck them in.

Channel your inner Parisian with the classic Parisian knot. Fold the scarf in half, drape it around your neck, and pull the loose ends through the loop created by the fold.
This elegant, minimalistic style works great with coats, sweaters, or even just a simple tee, adding an effortless chic element to any outfit.
