This way of wearing it, seen everywhere on social media, combines maximum warmth with a very couture look.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"le--balaclava-scarf--lastuce-qui-change-tout\"> The &quot;balaclava scarf&quot;: the trick that changes everything<\/h2>\n<p> The idea: transform a classic scarf into an improvised balaclava that covers the neck, nape, and top of the head. Instead of layering a hat and scarf, a single accessory is enough to envelop the entire upper body in a knitted cocoon. This way of wearing a scarf draws inspiration from both the balaclava, so trendy in recent seasons, and the headscarf tied in the hair like Brigitte Bardot or Audrey Hepburn, but in a cozier and more contemporary version.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"comment-la-nouer-concrtement\"> How to tie it in practice<\/h2>\n<p> The trick can be done in just a few steps:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Wrap the scarf once or twice around your neck, leaving one end longer than the other.<\/li>\n<li> Raise the longest panel towards the back of the head, like a hood, then bring it slightly forward to frame the face.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> The result: the nape of the neck, ears, and top of the head are protected, without a &quot;package&quot; effect or a hat that flattens the hair. The scarf&#39;s volume creates a lovely drape around the face, ideal over a structured coat. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DSQbY2iCbEx\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\"> View this post on Instagram <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"> <a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DSQbY2iCbEx\/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by nina (@nina.galay)<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pourquoi-cette-faon-de-porter-lcharpe-sduit-autant\"> Why is this way of wearing a scarf so appealing?<\/h2>\n<p> This technique is popular because it ticks all the boxes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> It really keeps you warm by covering all areas sensitive to the cold (ears, throat, nape of the neck).<\/li>\n<li> It is modular: you can lower the head panel like a simple collar as soon as you get inside, without having to remove an extra hat.<\/li>\n<li> Visually, the &quot;balaclava scarf&quot; brings an immediate fashion twist, especially with long, thick scarves that create a cape effect around the shoulders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> With the balaclava scarf, the scarf ceases to be a mere shield against the cold and becomes an integral part of the silhouette. It structures the upper body, frames the face, and lends a revisited &quot;old Hollywood&quot; vibe, especially when worn with sunglasses and a well-tailored coat. Enough to transform every outing in the cold into a stylish moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Far from being a simple practical accessory, the scarf becomes the centerpiece of a winter look as soon...","protected":false},"author":8395,"featured_media":432364,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"disable_msn":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5643],"tags":[97764,97833,97270],"class_list":["post-432361","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-conseils-silhouette","tag-accessoires","tag-actu","tag-astuces"],"image":{"medium":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/@ittsfarahh-@tristentbarnes-_-Instagram-200x113.jpg",200,113,true],"large":["https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/@ittsfarahh-@tristentbarnes-_-Instagram-500x281.jpg",500,281,true]},"custom":{"td_video":"","featured_image":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/@ittsfarahh-@tristentbarnes-_-Instagram.jpg","author":{"name":"Clelia Campardon","avatar":"https:\/\/www.ma-grande-taille.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/clelia-96x96.jpg"},"categories":[{"term_id":5643,"name":"Styling tips","slug":"conseils-silhouette","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":5809,"taxonomy":"category","description":"<p>The Styling tips section of <strong>The Body Optimist<\/strong> helps you choose clothes that show off your body shape and feel good to wear, in every size.
