All tied up: Five ways to dress up a scarf for fall

By Emma Baty Staff Writer

Fall in Syracuse can go from beautiful and colorful to gray and bland overnight. Unfortunately, so can every wardrobe on Syracuse University’s campus. Don’t worry — Pulp has it covered. All it takes is one square scarf and a little creativity to add some style to your outfits. Keep your wardrobe from the doldrums with these alternative scarf options.

Spice up any plain T-shirt with this option. Fold the scarf in half so it becomes a triangle. Then tie the two ends together at the neck, leaving the point in the front. Wear it in the center or off-kilter, like shown.

This is the feminine touch every pair of boyfriend jeans needs. Roll the scarf from one corner and then thread it through the belt loops. Tie the two ends in a bow in the front or leave them undone.

People tend to wear scarves tight on their necks, which is nice for colder weather, but try this for the days where bundling up isn’t necessary. Roll the scarf from one corner and tie the ends together. Wear the tie in the front or the back.

This is an easy look that can elevate any basic outfit and is visually intriguing. Fold the scarf in half vertically, drape it over one shoulder and use a belt to keep it in place. Skinny belts work well, but try a thick one for something even bolder.

Is your hair not cooperating? Did you wake up late without time to shower? Try this look instead of a baseball cap. Fold the scarf from one corner, and tie it at the nape of the neck. Wear your hair up or down — it’ll look good either way and hide your greasy hair.
