We'll show you four stylish variations that you can use to style your scarf in a creative way. Whether for a chic business look or a relaxed casual style - with these simple but effective techniques, you can skilfully showcase your favourite accessory. And the best thing? All tying techniques can be realised wonderfully with the Laubeneck scarf. The luxurious merino wool accessory blends harmoniously into any outfit - soft, light and simply a must-have!
The Parisian knot - timeless and elegant
The Parisian knot, also known as the ‘French knot’, is one of the most popular methods of tying a scarf in style. It impresses with its simple elegance and holds the scarf securely in place - without slipping and without constant readjustment.
This is how it works:
- Fold the scarf in half to create a loop.
- Place it around your neck so that the loop is on one side and the loose ends are on the other.
- Pull the loose ends through the loop and adjust the knot as desired.
This technique is ideal if you want to add a chic, textured touch to your look. The Laubeneck scarf from GIESSWEIN looks particularly elegant in this version - its fine merino wool is pleasantly soft around your neck, while its subtle lustre finish provides an extra dose of elegance. Choose from three classic colours and bring French chic into your everyday life.
The waterfall - casual and uncomplicated
Do you want to wear your scarf in a casual and relaxed way without compromising on style? Then the waterfall is the perfect choice. This version looks effortless yet elegant - perfect for anyone who likes it uncomplicated yet style-conscious.
This is how it works:
- Wrap the scarf around your neck so that one end is shorter than the other.
- Wrap the longer end loosely around your neck.
- Hide the shorter end under the scarf so that the longer end falls softly over it.
The result is a casual look with a touch of nonchalance - as if the scarf had fallen just right by chance.
The loop - modern and practical
The loop is a modern, uncomplicated way to wear your scarf in style. Particularly practical: once tied, it fits perfectly and you no longer have to adjust it throughout the day.
This is how it works:
- Wrap the scarf around your neck so that both ends are the same length.
- Wrap it around your neck until only short ends are left.
- Hide the ends in the wrapped scarf to create a closed circle.
This style looks particularly harmonious and is ideal if you want to give your outfit a soft, rounded silhouette. The Laubeneck scarf offers the perfect basis for this look with its ideal length and light, cosy merino wool.
The simple throw - effortless chic
Sometimes it doesn't take much to look stylish. The simple throw is one of the most uncomplicated ways to wear a scarf - and also one of the most stylish.
This is how it works:
- Wrap the scarf around your neck so that both ends hang down the same length.
- Leave it loose or tuck the ends lightly under your coat or blazer.
This version is ideal for days when you don't fancy elaborate wrapping techniques but still don't want to do without that certain something.
