TYING YOUR NECK SCARF WITH STYLE

As shown in the ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ Guide, there are many ways to tie a carré (square twill silk scarf). Here are five classic ways to style it and show off its design.

·  For this simple style, thread the scarf ends through a ring. Choose a ring that holds the fabric securely, and take care not to snag the silk.

·  Cross the scarf loosely in front of your neck, then tie the ends at the back. This creates a soft, full shape without a tight knot at the throat.

·  A scarf can be tied at the front, side or back of the neck. A knot at the nape gives this look a romantic finish.

·  Try a generous kerchief fold that fills the neckline of a top. This fold shows more of the scarf’s design. We especially like it with the Paris Topaze Yellow carré (square scarf).

·  For the final look, point the triangle downward and tie the ends at the front. The fold shows both the scarf’s tips and its central design.
