Hoodies are a super cozy layer that makes any outfit look comfortable and chic. If you are thinking of tying a scarf around your neck, you might be worried about the added bulk in your neck area. You can wear a thick or bulky scarf under or around your hood to look fashionable and comfy on a chilly day.

  1. Put your hoodie on and make sure it is zipped closed all the way up to your neck, but don't put your hood on yet. This keeps the heat in well and won’t add any bulk to your outfit. [1]
  2. Hold your scarf in your hands and fold it in half so that there is a looped side in one of your hands. Make sure the fold is relatively even so that your scarf doesn’t look unbalanced. [3]
    • If you have an infinity scarf, start with it laying flat and then fold the loop in half so that you have 2 smaller loops.
    • Opt for a solid-colored scarf, if you can—you don't want your outfit to have too much going on. [4]

  3. Drape your scarf over your neck so that the looped end is on one side and the hanging ends are on the other. Slide your scarf around on your neck until it looks mostly even on either side. [5]
    • If you are using an infinity scarf, pull the 2 small loops over your neck.
  4. Grab the hanging ends of the scarf in one hand and the looped end of the scarf in the other. Pull the hanging ends through the loop so that the scarf fits snugly against your neck. [6]
    • If you are wearing an infinity scarf, flatten the back part so that it isn't bulky on your neck.
  5. Pull the hanging ends of the scarf out over your torso so that they cover the zipper of your hoodie. Make sure the scarf is mostly centered so that your outfit looks even. [7]
    • If your hoodie doesn’t have a zipper, try to make your scarf mostly even by aligning it with the pocket.
    • Adjust your infinity scarf so that the 2 small loops are even.

    Tip: If your scarf is shorter than 2 to 3 feet (0.61 to 0.91 m) long, try tucking it into your hoodie instead of draping the ends over.

  6. Pull your hood up on the back of your head over the scarf. This covers your ears as well as your neck for the maximum amount of warmth in your hoodie.
    • If you are wearing a hat, you don’t need to put your hood on if you don’t want to.

Wearing Bulky Scarves

  1. For bulkier scarves, it’s nice to put them on the outside of the hoodie so you don’t add a ton of fabric under your hood. Put on your hoodie and zip it up all the way with the hood up. [8]
    • If your hoodie doesn’t have a zipper, just pull it on like you normally would and keep the hood up.
  2. Grab each end of your scarf in both hands and place it over and around your neck. Slide the left side of the scarf downward so that it is about twice the length of the right side. [9]
    • The lengths don’t have to be exact.

    Tip: If you have a blanket scarf, fold it in half lengthwise to make it easier to tie, and then drape it over your neck.

  3. Grab the left side of your scarf by the end. Pull it up and around your right shoulder and then back down onto your left shoulder so the scarf is wrapped around your neck. [10]
    • You may have to throw your scarf over your shoulder for it to reach your other side.
  4. Tug on each side of the scarf until the ends are mostly the same length. Make sure the area touching your neck is comfortable and not too tight. [11]
    • Remember to take your scarf off first before you try to take off your hood or hoodie, or else you might get stuck.

      • It can be intimidating to add a scarf to a hoodie because there’s already so much bulk in the hood, but scarves add a cozy and chic element to any outfit, even a hoodie.
