Use a larger scarf if you’d like the skirt to reach your ankles or feet.

There should be 2 corners of fabric dangling in front of your waist whenever you create a scarf skirt. Always fold the fabric upwards. For instance, if the corner of fabric is dangling in front of your left leg, pull it up and tuck it into the left side of your waistband.

Tuck the fabric on the side that it’s dangling on. For instance, if 1 corner of fabric is dangling in front of your right leg, you’d wrap and tuck it behind your right leg.

If you’re using an especially large scarf, consider folding the material in half before wrapping it around your waist.

For example, if you’re wearing a coral top with a light green scarf skirt, you could use a light brown belt as an accessory with the outfit. You can use a red scarf for the skirt. Red clothing, accessories, and shoes suit almost everyone. [6] X Expert Source Hannah ParkProfessional Stylist Expert Interview. 21 February 2019. Medium pink tones are good for lighter skin.

Make sure the slip is a little shorter than the width of the scarf you’re using. Otherwise, it may show under your skirt.

Make sure that the elastic wrap fits snugly without being painfully tight. Try to use a neutral-toned elastic band that won’t distract from your skirt, like brown, black or tan.

Your fabric will look like a folded fan once you’ve arranged it into pleats.

If you want your skirt to be shorter, fold a larger amount of fabric over the waistband.

For extra security, consider pinning the folded fabric into place behind the elastic band.
