“A scarf is the most versatile accessory. It can be worn as a belt, a necklace, to tie the hair back on a bad hair day.”
Donna Karen, b. 1948

But, like Parisian style, a little intimidating too. Fear no more, here’s a quick primer on the fine art of tying scarves. Go ahead and tie one on tomorrow.
