As Headband: Start by folding the scarf as thin as you want the head band to be width-wise, and place the middle of the scarf on top of your head. Tie the ends at the back of your nape below the hair once or twice and adjust at crown. Wear some modern casual outfit to go along with the look.
As Bandana: Protect your hair from sun and dust while going out by donning something stylish and ethnic. Fold a square scarf diagonally until one end meets the other – making a large triangle – then place the middle of the scarf on top of your head. Bring the middle of the longest side to the middle of the forehead so that the pointed end is towards the back of the head. Hold. Tie the ends at the back of your nape below the hair in a single or double knot. Adjust on forehead so that the scarf lies where you want it.
As Top: Create your own bandeau or halter top wrapping your torso by folding a square scarf into a large triangle. To make a bandeau top, place the middle in front and tie both ends at the back, while for the halter top, tie the two ends of the triangle around your neck, then tie the tails around your waist.

As Hobo Bag: Or transform your square scarf into a unique Hobo Bag simply by tying knots on each corner until you have a large triangle, then tying two other knots together to form straps and a pouch.
As Skirt: Fold your scarf into a triangle and wrap it around your waist or hips. Tie the two ends to secure it, making it like a sarong.
As Belt: Upgrade your stylish look with a chic scarf belt by tying a long, thin scarf around your waist. Tuck it into were you belt nearly goes, then make a cute bow/ribbon knot for a more girly look, and place the knot at one side of your body.
All in all, start taking your square scarf, and wear it as a halter or bandeau top on a hot breathless day. Turn it into a slimming sarong and stroll to the beach, or toss a scarf around your waist for the perfect belt, or even jazz up your hat with a new hat band, or wear the scarf as a headband. All are yours! Just free yourself and be stylish.
