A laidback style that looks cool nonetheless. Fold your stole and wear it around your neck. Bring the top end of the cloth through the main circle. Twirl the loop to create a second circle.

4. Boyfriend Tie:
This is a unique way to wear the stole if you are tired of the basic loop. For creating the look, wrap your stole around your neck. Keep one end of the cloth longer to the other side for making the knot. Pass the longer end of the stile behind over the shorter end to construct a loop. Bring the longer ends into this loop to create a knot. Push up the knot like a tie.

6. Braided Version:
For making the braided version, you will require a long stole. Drape the cloth around your neck and secure a loose half-knot using both ends. Take one end of the stole and toss it over to the other side. After that, tug the end from the main loop and repeat. Now take the opposite end of the stole and toss it over and pull up. Repeat the steps until you reach the ends.

9. Reverse Drape:
Life will be better wearing the stole in reverse. No, we’re not kidding! Create the look by wrapping the stole loosely around your neck and allowing it to hang. Hurl one end of the cloth over your left shoulder. Hurl the other end of the stole over your right shoulder to create the reverse drape. Zero hassles!

10. Wear As Headscarf:
The headscarf is an ode to the 50s and 60s style staple. For creating the look, fold a small square stole from the middle to make a triangle. Wrap the stole around your head using the longer ends of the scarf and leave the rest of the cloth draped around your head. Create a knot of the folded ends beneath your jaw line.
