PIRATE HEADSCARF: THE ULTIMATELY FEMININE HEAD WRAP!

Updated September 22, 2026

Fashion often brings familiar styles back in new forms. The pirate-inspired headscarf is one example.

The pirate-inspired look places a scarf low across the forehead and ties it at the back of the head. It is an easy way to create a bold silhouette with silk.

This head wrap can feel relaxed or glamorous, depending on the scarf and the rest of the outfit.

Let some hair frame your face, or tuck it in for a neater finish.

To try it, fold a 90 × 90 cm (36 × 36 in) square scarf into a triangle, or start with an oblong scarf. Explore our ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ silk twill  scarves and oblong silk stoles; place the fabric low across your forehead and tie the ends comfortably at the back of your head. Finish with a simple knot or a soft bow. Et voilà!
