Five Surprising Ways to Wear a Summer Scarf

The Tube Top: 

1. Fold your scarf in half so that the scarf remains the same length but skinnier.

2. Place the center of the folded scarf (with the folded edge upright) at the front of your chest and wrap the ends around your torso, creating a tube top.* The back should form a V. 

3. Bring the two ends to the front and tie a simple knot. You can tie it however you wish, but we crossed the ends and tucked them under so that the knot was visible but the ends weren't.

* Take care to wrap your scarf tightly at this point, so that it doesn't slip. You can also fold down the folded edge of the scarf once more like we did to adjust to length.

One of the newest addition to the Flying A brand roster is LA-based French DJ Mathieu Schreyer's edgy t-shirt line Unknown Soldier. His S/S 2012 collection features prints alluding to world affairs, literature, and obscure astronomy references. In other words, perfect fodder to pick up bespectacled chicks. Pair them with some slim cut jeans and a leather jacket if you're feeling mischievous. As a lady, I'll assure you that it'll get you laid.
