KIMONO SCARVES: REVISITING A SPRING SUMMER 2015 TREND

Updated September 22, 2026

A look back at Spring/Summer 2015, when kimono-inspired silhouettes were once again prominent in fashion. Designers reinterpreted the traditional garment through shorter, longer, fitted and flowing shapes in both plain and printed fabrics. Short or long, tight or loose, cut in a plain or printed fabric, casual or dressy, the 2015 kimono has been reinterpreted by fashion designers.

Using the ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ French silk scarves -- the classic 36x36" carré/ square scarf -- we have also decided to revisit this classic Japanese outfit. Here is, in just a few easy steps, how to fold and tie your scarf into an original shoulder wrap whose line and fullness are reminiscent of a short kimono-inspired wrap:

1. fold your square scarf lengthwise in half 
2. tie the two right tips together with a tight double knot
3. tie the two left tips together with a tight double knot
4. finally, slide your arms through the armholes you have created... Et voilà!

This fancy silk "kimono-scarf" allows you to keep up with the trend while adding a personal touch to it. You'll love it for many reasons: it is so chic and so delicate that, whether you wear it with a pair of jeans or a black dress, it creates a feminine, flowing silhouette. When the evening turns cooler, it also provides a light layer over the shoulders while showcasing the scarf design.

A square silk scarf is a remarkably versatile accessory: beyond the classic neck scarf, it can be folded and tied into many creative shapes.
