What's the story
Upcycling scarves into tops is a fun and creative way to update your wardrobe without spending a penny.
This way not only is sustainability promoted but unique fashion statements are made too.
Using a few simple tricks, you can turn different scarves into pretty tops for daily wear.
Silk, cotton, or synthetic, you can repurpose any to create different looks that suit you.
Knot style
Simple knot top design
The knot top design has to be one of the easiest ways to upcycle a scarf.
Simply fold the scarf in half diagonally to make a triangle. Wrap it around your torso, and tie the ends at the back or front, as you like.
This style works best with larger scarves, and gives you an effortless yet chic look for casual outings.
Halter style
Halter neck transformation
Transforming a scarf into a halter neck top adds so much elegance to any outfit.
All you need to do is fold the scarf lengthwise and wrap it around your neck like a halter strap.
Tie the ends behind your neck, and let the remaining fabric drape over your chest.
Secure it at the back with another knot, or tuck it in for added security.
Tube style
Tube top conversion
Making a tube top out of a scarf is the easiest and also the most versatile of them all.
Pick a rectangular scarf and wrap it around your chest, with both ends meeting at the back.
Tie them tightly or use safety pins for extra security if required.
This can be an ideal piece to layer under jackets or cardigans during colder months.
Off-shoulder style
Off-shoulder scarf top
An off-shoulder top from a scarf adds an elegant touch to anything you wear.
Simply fold the scarf in half lengthwise and throw it over both shoulders like an off-shoulder blouse sleeve would fall naturally on each arm's edge line.
Then tie knots at either side underarm area, securing fabric snugly against body shape contours while letting it move freely without slipping down unexpectedly throughout day activities ahead.
