Ascot Scarf Knot - Tying A Man's Scarf - How To Tie Scarves For Men - Wrap-Around Ascot
Hi!
I'm Antonio Centeno, the founder of Real Men Real Style.
Today, I'm going to be teaching you how to tie a scarf and we're going to be talking
in particular about the ascot and the once-around ascot knot.
If you haven't already, please subscribe to our YouTube channel.
By doing that, these videos will come right to you.
In addition, if you like this, if you find it useful, I would appreciate it if you would
like it down below.
And while you're down there, make sure to grab our free 47-page e-book on men's style.
So the ascot, it sounds fancier and probably harder than what it is.
It's a very simple knot in which you can start with at least a medium length -- you need
to have a medium length scarf for this, something that's at least 50 inches in length.
This one is 60 inches, so plenty of room here.
The thing with the ascot is you should have a little bit of a bulkier scarf, something
with a bit of feel.
You don't want to be using a silk scarf necessarily for this.
It's going to look a little bit too feminine.
You come over, you go under, and you come up under here, so very simple.
You're probably going to want to adjust this a bit.
You can wear it under the overcoat, so go ahead and open up your overcoat and slip it
right in there.
I like a looser knot and I like a knot that is also -- for me, function is always paramount,
so I want to bring it up, bring that up like that.
Simply that is the ascot.
Let me show you one more time in case I lost anybody.
We've got one-third of the scarf right over here, two-thirds of the scarf over here.
I'm going to come over, go under, come up, very simple.
Now, let's talk about the double ascots or the wraparound ascot.
Basically, one more thing we're going to add to it.
We're going to go around the neck first, but to do that, we're going to need a longer scarf,
so that is key.
The double ascot, you've got to have a scarf that's around 72 inches in length.
It depends on your build, but I need one that's around 72 inches.
We're going to start with about a quarter over here, three quarters over here.
We're going to go once around.
So if you're seen my once around tutorial, that's probably pretty familiar, and then
we're going to do the same exact knot.
Well, a little bit probably too much of a contrast there, but this is a double sided
scarf with a grey and a navy on one color.
I would probably adjust this a bit.
You can see where I like this knot because it does a great job with a wraparound, of
covering the neck.
In addition, you get a little bit of a knot here that adds a little bit of flair to the
dress.
But at the same time, we're focusing on function first, and then the look second, so go with
a wide variety of colors.
I think this knot works really well if you've got a longer scarf with a little bit of color
in it.
If you want to wear a silk scarf, you can do that as well.
So again, we're going to do the wraparound and then go under.
So you clearly need to be a little bit -- to wear a silk scarf like this, it almost looks
like an ascot, which makes sense because it's tied with the ascot knot, but with this type
of look, we're going less for warmth.
As you can see, there's even exposed on my shirt here and more for introducing the color.
You don't want this too tight.
Loosen it and adjust it.
All right.
That is the ascot knot and the wraparound ascot or the double ascot.
If you have any questions, I will see you in the comments.
Otherwise, make sure to check out my other videos.
We've got quite a few out there.
I wish you the best and I'll see you in the next video.
Bye-bye.
