How the Scarf Size Calculator Works
Why Scarf Size Matters
The right scarf size is the secret to both comfort and style. If your scarf is too short, it won’t keep you warm or look good. Too long, and it might get in the way or feel bulky. Most experts agree that a scarf should complement your body shape and be easy to wrap.

The Basic Rules (What the Calculator Uses)
Classic scarf: Usually your height in length (for most adults, that’s 60–70 inches or 150–180 cm) and about 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) wide.
Infinity scarf: Typically about 60–65% of your height for total length, joined in a loop. Standard width is 8–12 inches (20–30 cm).
Square scarf: Both length and width are the same, usually 30–36 inches (75–90 cm).
Blanket scarf: Extra big—often 80+ inches (200+ cm) long and 18–30 inches (45–75 cm) wide.
Fringe: If you love fringe, add 4–6 inches (10–15 cm) to each end.
