The leopard scarf - so timeless, warm and oh-so wearable. What better way to wear it than in a European loop. Taking a cue from the French, the European loop is a classic and simple way to tie your scarf - this is one of my personal favorites. Below are some illustrations of how it is done for those not familiar with this method:
First - fold your oblong scarf in the middle.
Second - Put it around the back of your neck.
Third - Pass the ends through the loop.
Fourth - Adjust the scarf accordingly, depending on how tight or loose you want the knot to be. That's it!
I love that this method is the easiest and warmest way to wear a scarf. It can be adorned by both men and woman and works well with both casual and business outfits. A tighter knot will give you that chic and polished look and a looser knot will give you that casual and comfy look.
Today I borrowed my friend's clutch to showcase to you my newfound love. The envelope clutch!
I absolutely adore this clutch. The structure and shape of it gives it such a masculine appeal, edgy, but yet chic. Most envelope clutch also comes with a versatile strap giving it a laid-back style that would be perfect for everyday activities like running errands or shopping till you drop!
I love how they come in a rainbow of fun colors, from neon pink, orange and teal to more neutral tones like yellow and this tan one. Slim, sleek and so sophisticated, the envelope clutch is like a great pair of black stiletto pumps, a classic wardrobe staple that goes with everything.

I think I've only had a chance to try one of her looks. But it's a really fun video.
Love the animal print with the light pink shirt! Your clutch is gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteI showed a lady this type of loop with a scarf about the size of yours, and she said 'Isn't that just for smaller scarves?' And I was like 'No, it's for all scarves, style rules don't work that way!'
Love that scarf! (I'm always on the lookout for another animal print one!) Was it a recent find at H&M? And you are rocking that whole outfit, including the envelope clutch! :o)
ReplyDeleteI tie my scarves a lot using this knot...I think its very chic! :)

too true about the classic colors in your great outfit, clutch, boots, tights, leopard print! earlier today, i was saying how i collect scarves, but hardly ever wear them. i have a leopard print one as well, i should probably pull from its drawer. i wonder if that'll actually happen.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Steve Madden make awesome boots?!?! I just love mine! And I adore the scarf. Too bad its borrowed huh? ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy is it so much easier finding things for other people, especially the kids? LOL

So that's what you call that tie! I've been doing that but I didn't know it was called a European tie! I am loving that clutch. I'm on the search for one like that in a bold color. Great compliment for the fall!!

You love amazing! I love the neutral hues mixed with black. The scarf is a great touch! I didn't know it's known as the European loop, that's how I usually wear my scarf too!
ReplyDeleteOhh I love the clutch!! I saw a envelope clutch similar (but not as nice as yours) at the Nordstrom Half-yearly sale and I think I'll get it now, I hope its still in stock when I get home today!
