So what do some French people think?
Enfaite je porte déjà mes foulards de toutes les manières citées (sauf la 5), donc j’m’attendais à des idées plus originales.
Par contre j’ai un foulard de forme triangulaire très long, à part l’enrouler comme la dernière idée, j’ai pas trouvé de solutions.
In fact, I already wear my scarfs in all the ways cited (except number 5), thus I’m waiting for some more original ideas. In contrast I have a long triangle scarf, besides rolling it up like the last idea, I haven’t found any solution to wearing it.
(Sauf le six) j’aime aucunes des autres manières, je trouve que ça fait soit vieille soit coincée. Mais j’aime beaucoup la 6 et je trouve pas ça si compliqué à faire, c’est juste le dessin qui compliqué tout ! La 4 est la plus simple du monde mais il montre quand même 4 étapes
Except for 6, I don’t like any of the other ways, I find that they make you look old and uptight. But I like 6 a lot and I don’t find really complicated, it’s just the drawing that complicates everything! Number 4 is the most simple thing in the world and the picture shows it in 4 steps.
Well that’s all there is to say about how to wear scarves! I hope that these steps provided you with a technique or two that you would like to try out. Until next time, à bientôt.
