From silk scarves to a light woolen muffler, delicate pashmina scarves to just a beady wrap around, take a cue from these Hollywood divas, and make your dull winter clothes stylish. (Text by: Snigdha Ahuja) Slip N' Slide: Take a lightweight scarf and do a slip knot or a Parisian tie-up with a simple loop-and-tuck technique, creating a knot slightly tilted on one side. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian pairs her misty grey slip knot scarf with a crisp blazer, which offsets the casual knot perfectly.

Cosy, one-point loop: Actor Blake Lively has become somewhat of an icon when it comes to making the right style choice. Take a cue from the beauty, and when you have a chunky, rectangular scarf to work with, go for a simple knot which falls bang in the centre of your blouse. This one should ride up till almost your ears, embracing the neck completely.

The twice-over classic: Always thought the classic ascot knot was for men? Well, here's actor Jessica Alba exemplifying chic with a double dose of the style. The knot can be created by looping the scarf around the neck once, and then doing the common under-over manoeuvre (using both ends of the scarf) to ace the look.

The faux tie: Sometimes, you can let go of being all knotty. Designer and actor Ashley Olsen picked up an embroidery pattern for her caramel-and-cream coloured scarf, and just wore it around her neck for a sophisticated look. We love this look that you can replicate faster than you can say winter's here.

Exaggerated loop: Don't have a signature accessory to go with your faux leather skirt and boxy sweater? Take a cue from pop diva Selena Gomez, and go the exaggerated loop way. The length is the key, so don't go for a mid-sized garland or a too-cosy necklace loop. Just knot the ends together on one side or at the back.

The neo-neckerchief: Neither out of a Western classic, nor inspired by a matronly uniform - the neoneckerchief is a tricky yet fun style to battle the chill. Take a cue from Rihanna and create a rough neckerchief by tying a loose knot at the back. This one's more for making a statement, and might not be very high on the utility factor during exceptionally cold days.
