As Autumn is fast approaching with Winter not far behind, the designer triangle scarf is stealing the spotlight this Autumn Winter 2025 season. I have made a few handwoven merino wool triangle scarves this year and I am hoping that these compact, cosy and beautifully woven scarves will become a go-to for both warmth and style.

Whilst in my opinion there is always a place for a beautiful handwoven scarf or snood the triangle scarf strikes a perfect balance with respect to its size and the warmth that it can offer so transforming an everyday outfit into a stylish look. This blog shows different ways to wear a designer triangle scarf this Autumn and Winter.

Ways to style a designer triangle scarf for the Autumn Winter 2025 season

The Sailor tie

Knot your triangle scarf simply at the front, just below the collar bone so that it resembles a sailor-style tie. Let the pointed ends drape downwards for a small relaxed tie. This styling approach is effortless and looks great worn over a jumper lifting a plain jumper into a much more vibrant look.

The bandana style

Fold the scarf into a neat triangle and tie it at the back of your neck letting the point fall forwards. This creates a modern bandana effect that looks stylish with an oversized coat and is also an excellent way to highlight the bold colours and patterning of the scarf.

The classic front men's tie

An easy way to wear a triangle scarf is to knot it like a men's tie. Fold the scarf into a long strip, place it around your neck and knot it neatly in the front so that the pointed end looks like the shape of a tie. This look is especially striking if paired with a button down shirt, tailored blazer or coat and is a subtle nod to androgenous styling.

Shoulder drape

This style also allows the patterning and colours of the scarf to be fully highlighted as the triangle scarf is simply draped over one shoulder. The free end can be hung over the back or tucked under a coat or jacket.

The neckwarmer tie up

For superior warmth the triangle scarf can be tied tightly around the neck as a neck warmer keeping the chill out.

Bandana with tips

This style is a variation of the bandana style. Styled in exactly the same way with the tips being brought over the front of the shoulders to the front. This pulls the scarf into the neck making it a really warm accessory.

Styled with a brooch

Adding a brooch gives a wider range of styling options. Here the scarf has been draped over the shoulder asymmetrically and then pinned with the brooch. This not only keeps the triangle scarf in place but adds a touch of personality and vintage charm. Jewel-toned or metallic brooches are especially on trend for Autumn-Winter 2025 making this styling choice both practical and eye catching.

As any other scarf

A triangle scarf can be worn just like any other scarf being draped down either side of the shoulders. The benefit of this is that you get warmth around the neck without the bulk at the front that you would get with a normal scarf.

Snood styling

This style creates a look a little like a snood or cowl scarf. To do this fold the top of the scarf along the long edge and drape it around your neck.
