This scarf tying style is also reminiscent of menswear, specifically the fashion of a plumed tie, or cravat. This particular style of tying scarves would work well for either casual or formal attire.
 
To begin, pleat a square silk scarf into a long strip, similar to the way you would fold a paper fan.



Wrap the scarf around your neck, and create a slipknot, positioning the knot in the center of your throat with one end of the scarf hanging behind, and longer, than the other.
 

 
Unfold the piece of the scarf that hangs behind the other, and loop it from the back of the knot.
 


Tie a knot fixing it to the upper part of the knot, and arrange to your preference.
