halacha - Am I allowed to wear a towel as a belt/scarf outside an Eiruv on Shabbos?


Many Mikvas do not provide towels for attendees, and require that people who go bring their own towels. If there is no Eiruv, one cannot carry it in a normal way, so many people "wear" it as a belt/scarf (in the winter).


Is this allowed?




Always CYLOR




Answer




Basically, you can take a handkerchief and wear it as a belt or scarf, as long as you tie the ends together. If it is big enough that it covers your head and majority of your body (like a big tallit) you can wear it that way without having to tie it down.
