You Can Now Take a Class On How to Tie a Scarf
Wearing a scarf sounds simple — really, how hard can it be? — but if you’ve ever tried to mix it up — from donning a skinny fashion scarf to attempting a next-level jaunty neck scarf — and couldn’t quite nail it, now you can learn myriad chic ways to tie a scarf. That is, if you live in the U.K. An adult education program in Northamptonshire is offering a course this fall called “Discover How to Wear a Scarf Effectively.” Seriously.
The class, which costs $32, promises to teach you how scarves can punch up any outfit and improve your personal style, as well as how to tie knots, loops, twists, and folds. According to U.K.’s Metro, though, not everyone is happy about the course. Some people have called it a “joke” and “absurd.” But considering that there are thousands of scarf tutorials on YouTube — a quick search of “how to tie a scarf” yields a whopping 185,000 results — not to mention scarf-tying guides on Pinterest, the adult education class is clearly onto something.
Bryn Taylor of Bryn Taylor Style agrees. The stylist calls the in-person class a “wonderful” idea. “I have so many clients who are interested in learning this ‘skill,’ so to speak, and even the online tutorials are difficult to follow sometimes,” Taylor tells Yahoo Style. “I often do quick mini-sessions with my clients in front of the mirror, and they are so grateful.”
Taylor thinks the class can be helpful to someone looking for an easy way to change up her look. “Since scarves can be worn in so many fashionable ways, I think it makes sense to offer personalized help and guidance,” she says. “To me, it’s similar to jewelry making or another type of arts and crafts class, as it gives the student a way to create something unique and personal to their style.”
