Among the many ways to tie yourANNE TOURAINE Paris carré (square silk scarf), this double French twist creates the impression of two layers while using a single scarf. In the original article, we nicknamed the style “Happy Hour.”

This tying method has several useful characteristics:

#1 : It is relatively easy to create and adds structure to an outfit. The layered effect can work with both casual and more polished looks.

#2: It displays a large part of the scarf design.

#3: It adds volume to the scarf. A 36x36” scarf creates a fuller result, while a 27x27” scarf produces a more compact version.

 #4: Partly pointed and partly rounded, the fold works with different necklines. With a 36x36” scarf, it can echo the line of a V-neck collar.

#5: The amount of volume around the neck can be adjusted by tying the scarf more loosely or more closely, depending on the look and comfort you prefer.
