Looking for a different way to style a square silk scarf? Turn it into a colorful, necklace-inspired accessory — useful for travel, an evening out or simply a change from a classic neck scarf.

Start with your ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk twill carré (square scarf) and experiment with these necklace-inspired tying ideas. They work with both a 36x36" (90x90cm) and a 27x27" (70x70cm) scarf.

For a fluffy and looser result, opt for a 36x36” scarf. If you prefer a tighter style then choose a 27x27” scarf.

Fold your scarf into a long band and create one large knot in the center of it. Then adjust around your neck placing the knot to the front of it and tie your scarf to the back of your neck. You can also create several knots like on the second photo below (3 knots)

Ring accent

Using a decorative ring, pull your scarf (folded into a long band) through it. Adjust around your neck so that your ring is centered to the front of it and tie your scarf at the back of your neck.

Tips:

- For a stronger visual accent, choose a larger ring, such as a cabochon style. Try a contrasting color or one that echoes a shade in your scarf.

- You can also play with knot(s) + a ring: create a knot around your ring and / or create one knot on each side of your ring

Renaissance style

Fold your scarf into a long band and center it at the back of your neck. Tie with a simple knot and adjust to have the same tip length. Wrap the first end around the loop of your scarf and repeat till you reach the back of your neck. Proceed the same way with the second end. Then tie the two ends in the back of your neck.
