Basic techniques

The stole is popular due to its practicality. With this accessory, you can diversify your wardrobe and update boring looks. However, before tying a cape, it is worth considering some nuances:

1. Since a scarf tied on the head completely covers the hair, the attention of others is focused on the woman's face. Therefore, makeup should be neat, and the bangs (if there are any) should be perfectly straight.
2. If a woman has a round face, she should not tie the cape under the chin like a regular scarf, as this will visually make the oval even rounder.
3. Ladies with large facial features should not choose scarves with colorful patterns. Such girls will look better in plain stoles without additional prints.
4. A headscarf tied on the head does not suit women with a short neck, as it visually makes it even shorter. Girls with a long and thin neck can choose any type of stole.

There are different ways to tie a stole on your head beautifully and fashionably: with the ends inward, in a retro style, like a turban, tightly wrapped, or braided.

This is the most common technique. You can tie a stole in two ways:

1. You need to position the scarf so that your head is in the middle of the cloth. Pull its ends away and secure them securely at the back of your head. Then lift them up, cross them at the crown, and tie them again at the back. The ends need to be hidden under the cape.
2. Lower your head and place the scarf with the middle on the back of your head. Raise the ends to your forehead and tie them. Then raise your head, throw the cape back on the top of your head and tuck the ends under the resulting knot.

Turban

Fixing the cape in the form of a turban is another way that will help create a stylish image. You need to tie it, following the step-by-step instructions:

1. Throw a scarf over your head so that your hair is completely covered.
2. Cross the ends at the back and bring them forward towards the face.
