A silk scarf is the most versatile thing you could own. One square of silk works at a desk, at a wedding, on a dog walk and tied to a bag, and it changes an outfit completely without you having to buy anything else.
Here are the ways we wear ours.
The simple knot. Fold into a band, wrap once, tie a loose knot slightly off centre. It’s quick and works under a shirt collar or over a jumper.
The loose drape. Fold into a triangle, drape over the shoulders and let it sit. This suits a larger scarf and works over a coat.
The neckerchief. Fold to a narrow band, tie at the front and turn the knot to the side or back. Crisp with a shirt and a pair of jeans.
The knot under the collar. Tuck the ends into a shirt or blouse for a tidier finish that keeps the print visible at the neckline.
A twilly or a smaller scarf tied around a ponytail is the easiest thing here, and it survives wind better than most hairstyles. A full scarf folded to a band and tied under the hair works as a headband, and a square folded into a triangle and tied at the nape is the classic country look. Our twilly scarves suit all three.
Tying a scarf to a handbag is the quickest way to change how a bag looks without owning another one. Wrap a twilly around the handle, or tie a small scarf to the strap fixing and let the ends fall.
Our prints were designed with this in mind. The Hunting Field, Run Rabbit, The Hunting Fox, Strawberry Fields and Blackberry Dreams all come as twillies as well as full scarves, so you could match a bag tie to a scarf you already wear.
Two things matter more than fashion:
The colours you already wear. A scarf earns its place by going with the coats and jumpers you own. If your wardrobe is navy and tan, a print carrying those tones will get worn constantly.
Scale. A large print reads better draped or worn over a coat. A smaller repeating design suits close knots at the neck, where less of the scarf is on show.
Silk lasts a long time if it’s treated gently. Our guide to caring for silk scarves covers washing, storing and dealing with snags.
Our silk scarves and twillies are designed in house, printed on silk and finished by hand. See the full scarves collection, including full scarves and twillies, and our handbags if you’re pairing the two.
A full square is the most versatile, since it drapes as well as it knots. A twilly is better for hair, bag handles and narrow neck ties.
Fold to a narrower band and tie a little tighter than feels necessary, or use a smaller knot closer to the neck. Silk against silk slips more, so consider what it’s sitting on.
Yes. Tied at the neck under a coat, silk adds warmth without bulk, and it’s kinder against the skin than wool.
