"           Required Viewing: How to Tie a Scarf A video posted by Esquire Style (@esqstyle) on Oct 11, 2013 at 11:46am PDT     And now, gentlemen, we present the best method we&amp;#039;ve ever come across for tying a scarf. It&amp;#039;s stylish, but unfussy, allowing the ends to hang at different lengths and ensuring you don&amp;#039;t look like you straighten the fringes on area rugs in your spare time. It&amp;#039;s also secure: No matter how hard the wind blows, your scarf will stay in place and do its job (namely, keeping your neck warm). We&amp;#039;re calling it The Crossover, because that&amp;#039;s pretty much what you end up doing to tie it \u2014 crossing the scarf over itself. Sound complicated? It&amp;#039;s not. Here&amp;#039;s how to do it: Step 1. Wrap your scarf once around your neck. Start with the scarf hanging over your neck and shoulders, with one end hitting around the bottom of your sternum and the other hanging down below your knees. Then just loop the long end around once. This part&amp;#039;s crucial: As you&amp;#039;re looping it around, grab the longer end of the scarf on the left side of your neck in your left hand (make sure you&amp;#039;re not holding the shorter side in that same hand). This&amp;#039;ll make the next step much easier. Step 2. Make a hole, then pull under and through. Take your left hand, which is still holding the scarf, and pull out from your neck. You&amp;#039;ll notice you&amp;#039;ve created a small hole. With your right hand, take the longer side of the scarf and pass it under the shorter section. Then, with your left hand, simply reach through that hole you&amp;#039;ve created and pull the longer section of the scarf through. You&amp;#039;re pretty much there. Step 3. Tighten. Tidy. To pull the scarf tighter around your neck, just pull on the ends. Fiddle around a bit until you get the look you want \u2014 remember, each side should hang at a slightly different length \u2014 and you&amp;#039;re done. Easy. Don&amp;#039;t like this style? That&amp;#039;s OK. We&amp;#039;ve got four more for you to try.  The Novice A rakish wrap that warms the neck and the sternum.  The Loophole Modern. Sophisticated. Here, as with The Crossover, asymmetry is key.  The Whiplash Classic. Also looks great tucked into a suit.  The Jedi For superior intellects. And people who don&amp;#039;t live in Chicago.
