1. Left long and dangling, a skinny metallic scarf vibes like a rocker-ish necklace.

2. Channel your Inner bohemian with a turban-style head wrap.

3. Alongside your watch and bracelets, a small scarf is a welcome guest at an arm party.

The hipster style above may look effortless, but there's an art to doing this twist. Scarf designers Gillian Leigh and Susann Luca, of Leigh & Luca, unravel the styling secrets.

Step 1: Holding a long scarf lengthwise, twist it—loosely and imperfectly—in your hands.

Step 2: Gently wind the scarf around your neck two or three times. You want it to be voluminous, not tight.

Step 3: Tuck in any corners so no pieces are left hanging. Tug lightly on the middle to further relax it.

5. To make a basic belt one of a kind, wrap a long silk scarf around it and knot in the front.
