There are various ways to tie a scarf and one of them is to wear with a belt. To sport it, ensure you don't go for chunky knit scraf or thick belts.

Huffingtonpost.com shares tips on how to pull off the look:

* Don't go too bulky: A chunky knit scarf won't do. Instead, wear one that's made of silk or lightweight cotton.

* Do use a thin belt: The size of the belt depends on the weight of the scarf (the thicker the material, the thicker the belt). However, a thinner belt looks better than a hefty metal buckle.

* Don't cinch too high: The belt should fit around your natural waist. Tie it too high and you'll have way too much fabric floating around.

* Don't ignore the hem: Movement in the scarf is key. Stay away from styles with a blunt hem and opt for fringe or a slanted edge.

* Do pay attention to length: Make sure the scarf hits just above your kneecaps.

* Don't shy away from layers: Sure, wearing a scarf over a dress is the ideal combination. But adding a blazer or a cardigan looks equally as chic.
