ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk scarves explore a wide range of shades, from muted to bold. With so many colors available when exploring ANNE TOURAINE Paris scarf collections, you may wonder which color / colors you should pick.

At ANNE TOURAINE Paris color is an essential part of scarf design and styling.

Choosing a scarf color is personal. Here are a few ideas to help you explore different options.

> Idea #1: Hold different colors near your face and notice which combinations you personally enjoy. Rather than following fixed rules about hair, eyes or skin tone, focus on the effect and palette that feel right to you.

Suggestion: if you are comparing designs online, look at both the full scarf and the folded views. Folding changes which colors and parts of the pattern become most visible.

> Idea #2: Think about your favorite wardrobe pieces. Once done, decide if you want to play harmony or contrast. If you opt for harmony make sure some colors of the scarf remind the color of your outfit. Your scarf color should correspond to your staple clothes. If you go for contrasting colors - this will add a splash to your outfit – then go bold, really bold!

> Idea #3: Elegance is all about tiny details. The trick is to have at least one color of your scarf matching either part of your outfit, either one of your accessories (handbag, jewels, shoes).

> Idea #4: Step outside your usual palette occasionally. A scarf is an easy way to experiment with a color you may not normally wear.

> Idea #5: Think about where and how you expect to wear the scarf — at work, for special occasions or casually — and choose colors that fit those settings and your wardrobe.

> Idea #6: Most importantly, follow your own taste rather than treating color trends as rules.

Have a colorful scarfy day!
