Infinity, Oblong or Blanket Scarf? How to Choose and Wear Each
An infinity scarf is a closed loop you wrap once or twice, an oblong scarf is a long rectangle you can drape or knot, and a blanket scarf is oversized and warm enough to wear like a wrap.
Infinity scarf
An infinity scarf is sewn into a continuous loop, so there are no ends to tie. Loop it twice around your neck for a cozy look that stays put.
Oblong scarf
An oblong scarf is a long rectangle. Drape it loosely, wrap it once and let the ends hang, or fold it in half and pull the ends through the loop for a neat knot.
Blanket scarf
A blanket scarf is large and usually square or extra-wide. Fold it into a triangle and wrap it around your shoulders, or wear it open like a shawl over a coat.
Lightweight vs. knit
Lightweight woven scarves are great for spring and fall layering; chunky knit, fleece and faux fur scarves are made for cold winter days.
