I almost always employ what is called the Chelsea Knot.

I fold it in half lengthwise, wrap it around my neck so that at one end both ends of the scarf are together and at the other there is a loop, then I feed the ends through the loop and tighten it to taste. I always tuck the excess into my coat/jacket.

It depends on how cold it is for me... I do what Brigden does typically, but on a cold day I skip folding it lengthwise, so it's basically what that website link called "european casual". I've never heard that name before, but that's more or less what I do as it secures the scarf best.

i'm kinda new to the scarf game, but im really lookin to cop some more now as ive found them to be surprisingly functional in addition to the style factor it provides

i recently picked up this scarf, and i tie/arrange it just like its shown....a more cas look that pretty much goes w/ everything i got

I do the 'European Casual' or the 'Single Knot' (from that website). I'm not really seeing a difference between the Euro Casual or the Euro Formal except the Formal is done more precisely: am I missing something?

Chelsea knot

chelsea.

is the single knot just like tying a FIH?

Bringing back this post to ask a question.

Would it look incredibly stupid to tie a scarf under a shirt and leave two buttons undone for it to show? I tried it out and it didn't really look bad. I have a houndstooth scarf and I paired it with a denim shirt and it looks pretty good. Does anyone else do this or would consider trying it?

^ What's it called when that is done with a silk square of some sort?You usually see old men pulling it off.

Would that be an ascot?

I usually wear mine as shown in that photo... a "loose double-flip" I suppose.

for those of you with this scarf, is it a square or the regular rectangle shape?

edit: actually, relooking, it looks rectangle. can you clarify?

Euro Casual or the Flip. For shorter scarves, I wear the knot.

I just started wearing a scarf this season, and mostly use the Chelsea as described by Brigden, aka the European Casual by the provided website.

I also will sometimes use the double flip if riding my motorcycle on a cold night, as the extra flaps of the scarf give a bit more frontal insulation from the cold wind.

I don't think it would look bad at all as long as it was not excessive. Are you talking about just two buttons down from the neck?
