HOW TO WEAR SCARVES AND JEWELS

A scarf and jewelry can share the same outfit successfully when their scale, color and placement are balanced.

If a scarf is the focal point, jewelry can complement it rather than compete with it. Necklaces, earrings, rings and brooches each offer different styling possibilities.

Here are a few ideas for combining an ANNE TOURAINE Paris silk scarf with your jewelry.

☛ Necklaces

Choose a smooth, sturdy chain and loosely intertwine it with the scarf before bringing the scarf ends to the back of the neck. Avoid jewelry with sharp edges that could snag delicate silk.

With a pearl necklace, keep the scarf and necklace separate rather than intertwining them. Fold the scarf at the front and position the necklace so that part of it remains visible.

☛ Earrings

Choose earrings according to the scarf style and color. With a head scarf, for example, hoops or studs can create two very different effects.

For color, consider either neutral jewelry or tones that complement the scarf.

☛ Rings

A smooth decorative ring can also act as a scarf holder. Gently pull the silk through a ring with no sharp edges, then adjust the folds without forcing the fabric.

☛ Brooches

A brooch and scarf can also work together, but avoid piercing fine silk with a pin. Instead, use the brooch on the blouse, jacket or coat and arrange the scarf around it. An asymmetrical placement can create an interesting focal point.

Experiment with one or several pieces of jewelry, keeping the scarf fabric protected from sharp edges and rough surfaces.
