What’s the most classic pattern for a scarf? If you said plaid, you’re not wrong, but we’re going for stripes.
And not just any stripes—red and black ones. The red blanket scarf is the epitome of winter style.
Though it’s timeless and cozy enough, a lot of people complain about the aged feeling the red blanket scarf gives off.
Sometimes you even could look like your grandpa by styling it the right way. So here comes the most classic question: are red blanket scarves still in style?
Luckily, the short answer is yes. All you need to do is to style it in a modern way. You can try a new way to wear it, go for a different length, or seek out new check color patterns.
Read on and find some inspiration on how to style your red blanket scarf in a new and fresh way.
Try a New Way to Wear It
If you always wear your red blanket scarf by simply draping it or wear once around your neck, it’s time to switch up your game.
Try new ways of wearing it to get a more updated look. For example, you can try to style it like a shawl. This way of tying a scarf is not only chic but also very easy.
First, fold the red blanket scarf in half to achieve this look. Then, drape it over your shoulders and let it hang down your back.
Take each end of the scarf and bring it to the front. Cross the ends in front of your chest and tuck them into the loop behind your neck.
Another way we like to add vibes is by wearing it like an infinity scarf. This is a great way to incorporate the red blanket scarf into your everyday outfit.
To achieve this look, put the scarf around your neck and ensure one end is slightly longer than the other. Cross the longer end over the shorter end and pull it through the loop.
Then, tug on both ends until you are happy with the fit. This will create a chic infinity scarf that you can wear with any outfit.
Go for Different Length
Another way to change up your look is to go for a different-length scarf. Ditch the boring medium-length scarf and go for an extra-long or mini one.
An extra-long scarf is great for creating different looks. You can wear it as a shawl, stole, sarong, or simply drape it around your neck.
It’s also a great choice if you are looking for something to oversized and cozy. style it with an over-knee length trench fit coat or loose-fit sweater for a chic and comfortable outfit.
On the other hand, a mini red blanket scarf is also a great way to incorporate this trend into your look. It’s versatile and can be worn in many ways, such as a headband, necktie, or bracelet.
A sharper look can be achieved by wearing it as a necktie. This look is great for work or any formal occasion. Simply fold the mini scarf into a triangle and put it around your neck.
Then, tie the ends in a knot at the front of your neck. You can adjust the knot to make it tighter or loosen depending on your preference.
Seek for New Check Color Patterns
Red and black are the basic but timeless colors for a blanket scarf. But it doesn’t mean that you cannot let new colors into the picture.
There are many ways to style a red blanket scarf, but one of our favorites is by seeking out new check color patterns.
A great way to do this is by looking for a scarf that adds some other neutral colors in without breaking the classic look.

Don’t be afraid to rock a classic! A red blanket scarf is a perfect way to add a pop of color to any outfit.
And, with so many ways to wear them, you can always find a new way to style them. So go ahead and give one a try!
