Crop tops, cutoff shorts, denim jackets, and cowboy boots likely come to mind when thinking about music festival style. When it comes to accessories, we see visions of wayfarers, floral crowns, and cross-body bags. But one accessory you might be overlooking is a scarf. Forget what you know about the cold weather accessory and think lighter, brighter versions to adorn your neck and shoulders as temperatures rise.

Take a look at these fun knots that are perfect for a summer music festival (and don’t shy away from the rest of our 50+ scarf knots here)!

The Muffler II

Sometimes less is more. The Muffler II is perfect for dressing up a basic tank and adding a pop of color or print. Imagine a white tank with the Andrea Paisley scarf, shorts, and ankle moto boots, or pair a black romper with the Claudia Silk scarf and gladiator sandals.

The Scarf Bustier

Who said a scarf is just for wearing around your neck? Rather than having a scarf adorn your crop top, why not have the scarf be your crop top? The Scarf Bustier is the perfect way to implement this midsection-baring trend with a unique twist. In order to achieve this “knot,” it is important to choose a large scarf like the Madelyn Polka Dot scarf or the Erin Geo scarf. Pair it with a maxi skirt and denim jacket and you’re ready for the show!

The Infinity Scarf Shrug

The Infinity Scarf Shrug is perfect for adding extra coverage to bandeaus and swimsuit tops. As the name suggests, this look requires an infinity scarf. Layer a single-colored style like the Billy Sparkle Infinity scarf over a patterned top, or layer a printed style like the Liz Tribal Infinity scarf over a solid maxi dress.

Skinny Scarf Necklace

The Skinny Scarf Necklace is perfect for those who want to add a little something extra to their look without getting too warm in the spring and summer heat. This style requires a skinny scarf to create a look that isn’t too heavy. The Reagan Floral Skinny scarf and the Jordan Zebra Skinny scarf are two great options.

Neck Tie Knot

Think neckties are just for the guys? This fun knot will make you think again! The Neck Tie Knot is best created with lightweight scarves like those made of silk and linen materials. The Tiffany Peacock scarf and the Olivia Linen scarf are ideal, and believe us when we tell you, this scarf knot is much easier to tie than an actual necktie!
