An infinity scarf is a garment designed in the shape of a conjoined loop or circle, unlike a regular scarf that has distinct ends. This scarf style has enough fabric to wrap around the neck twice, creating a layered cowl-neck look, whereas a snood—another neck warmer with a looped construction—is much shorter and fits tighter around the neck, like a turtleneck collar. Infinity scarves come in many fabrics, including [cashmere](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/fabric-guide-what-is-cashmere), cotton, silk, wool, <a href='https://masterclass.com/articles/what-is-satin-fabric-a-guide-to-the-types-characteristics-and-uses-for-satin' target='_blank' class='mc-text--link' data-mc-segment-trigger='true' data-mc-segment-event-type='Article Page Click' data-event-obj='{"textTag":"p","href":"https://masterclass.com/articles/what-is-satin-fabric-a-guide-to-the-types-characteristics-and-uses-for-satin","linkCopy":"satin","category":"automated-link"}' automatic='true'>satin</a>, and linen.
Stylists value this type of scarf for its versatility; you can wear them as winter or summer scarves, depending on the [fabric](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/28-types-of-fabrics-and-their-uses). Here are some styling tips and tutorials to help you wear your infinity scarves:

1. __Opt for a double loop__. This traditional infinity scarf style is a fashionable way to stay warm during colder months. Wrap the scarf in a single loop around your neck, then cross the scarf across your chest to create a figure eight and pull the lower loop over your head. The double loop surrounds your neck with more fabric, providing extra warmth. Try a cozy, chunky knit winter scarf with a [cardigan](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-wear-a-cardigan) and beanie for a stylish outfit in autumn or winter.
2. __Try a shawl look__. Unlike when you wear a blanket scarf as a shoulder wrap and the ends of the scarf need securing for the shawl to stay in place, an infinity scarf remains wrapped and snug. Drape the long loop over one shoulder for a chic way to cover up a [slip dress](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/how-to-style-a-slip-dress) or sleeveless tops.
3. __Turn your infinity scarf into a halter top__. Wear your infinity scarf as a halter top for a fun summertime look. Opt for infinity loop scarves in lightweight, flexible materials, such as [linen](https://www.masterclass.com/articles/what-is-linen-everything-you-need-to-know-about-using-and-caring-for-linen) and cotton for this variation. To wear your scarf as a halter top, wrap the loop of fabric around your waist, then twist one end into a figure eight and pull the looped scarf over the head and around your neck. A long scarf works best for this, and you can use a safety pin to secure the scarf in place or use clothing tape to keep the sides of the scarf secure.
