8 Stylish Ways to Wear a Scarf, From Headwraps to Sarongs

1 / 10

Scarves are one of the easiest ways to refresh an outfit. They also fit naturally into Nigerian and African styling traditions, from church head coverings and hijabs to gele and ịchafụ. A single scarf can work as a headwrap, hair tie, neck accessory, belt, bag detail, makeshift bag, top, or beach-ready sarong. Its size, drape and range of prints make it useful for both everyday looks and special occasions. For a polished finish, match the scarf with a colour already in your outfit or use it as a bold contrast piece. Choose larger scarves for tops, bags and sarongs, and lighter silk styles for neckties, hair and handbag accents. There is no single rule for styling a scarf. Experiment in front of the mirror and find the wrap, knot or drape that works best for you.
