Scarves are more than accessories—they’re a blend of function and fashion. They keep you warm, add texture to your outfit, and bring a pop of personality to your look.
Not sure how to make the most of your scarves?
A scarf can add the perfect finishing touch to your outfit, offering both style and practicality. Let’s explore versatile techniques for tying, wrapping, and draping scarves, tailored to suit every type and occasion.
The Classic Drape (Long Scarves)
Sometimes, simplicity is all you need. Drape a long scarf over your shoulders, letting the ends fall naturally at the front. This effortless style works beautifully with coats or lightweight jumpers.

Half-Bow (Square Scarves)
Here’s a stylish way to wear a Silk square scarf that pairs perfectly with simple necklines like turtlenecks, V-necks, crewnecks, or boatnecks. This method works best with scarves made from materials like Silk, Cashmere, or Cotton, as they maintain their shape without adding bulk.
To tie the scarf, fold it diagonally to create a triangle, then wrap it around your neck and tie the ends together at the front or side.

The Shoulder Wrap (Oversized Scarves)
Turn an oversized scarf into a cosy wrap by draping it around your shoulders. Secure it with a loose knot, brooch, or even a belt for a tailored look. This versatile style works well with winter coats or layered over a jumper indoors.
Our Wool mix scarves are particularly suited to this look—light enough to drape beautifully, yet warm enough for colder days.

Reverse Drape
To achieve the Reverse Drape scarf look, simply place your scarf across your body and over your shoulders. Wrap the scarf around your neck in a way that looks good to you, allowing the ends to hang freely. This style works best with a casual, messy look, so don’t worry about making it perfect.

The Bandana Fold (Square Scarves)
Fold a square scarf into a triangle, then tie it at the back of your neck, leaving the point at the front. This casual style is perfect for adding a touch of colour to a blouse or cardigan.
Choose Silk for a refined look or lightweight Cotton for an easy-going, everyday feel.
Scarf Ring
Elevate your scarf game by using a round scarf ring for a stylish finish. Start by selecting a scarf that complements your outfit, then drape it around your neck. Gather the ends and slide them through the scarf ring, allowing it to hold the fabric securely. Adjust it to your desired position for comfort and style.
This method not only keeps your scarf in place but also enhances your look with an elegant touch. Perfect for any occasion, a scarf ring transforms your accessory into a statement piece!
