The scarf top gives the cool girl factor with a little sexy and every time you see a post with it you can’t help but like it. However, if you struggle to think that you can pull this look off I have 5 scarf top ideas that are size-inclusive. I know we see this style on a lot of thinner gals, but the scarf top can work for mid-size shapes!
You always have to keep in mind the scarf size. For a size 8-10 in tops I recommend at least a 35in x 35in scarf. If you’re more full look for a bigger size. I would also encourage having a strapless bra or bra solution on hand. This can help you feel like you have the support you may want while wearing a scarf top. I will also have one scarf top option that uses a strapless bra as the base. My go-to strapless bra is the Wacoal Red Carpet Strapless Bra.
Here are some easy styles to tie and get the look confidently.
Style 1: Basic bandana tie. You can adjust the coverage by manipulating the triangle. You can wear a strapless bra with this and secure the ends of the scarf into it.
You can also use a sturdy chain necklace to help you create a base for your scarf tops and add a bit more interest to them. I have 2 styles that incorporate a necklace to support your scarf top.
Style 2: Start with the necklace on and tie around it to create an upside-down triangle shape. Tie the ends at the back. Can tuck into waist of bottoms for more seamless look. You can style this with jeans or even with versatile Bermuda shorts like these.
Style 3: The other necklace style is more sexy and daring. You start with the necklace on again but this time the scarf folds into a rectangle. Lay over the necklace then tie at the back. From there adjust the scarf for more coverage.
Style 4: If you like the look of the first necklace style, but do not want to use a necklace this is for you. Tie 2 tails of a triangle together, but have enough slack to then tie around the neck. Now tie at the back and you got it!
Style 5: Faux front tie scarf top is perfect for either fuller bust or wanting the extra security of a bra. Start with a strapless bra. Now fold the scarf into a triangle. Hanging upside down wrap around the back. Take the tails and loop over the front and tuck. Now adjust the back and tuck to your liking.
