One square, six ways to make it your own. Begin with a shirt, knit or jacket you already love, then adjust the fold and knot until it feels comfortable.
These AI-generated styling illustrations show wearing ideas. Refer to product photographs and confirmed specifications for the actual print, colour, size and fabric; the drape and fit will vary with the fold and wearer.
Six ways to begin
1. Loose neck knot · Dinner out
How to wear it: Fold corner to corner, gather the triangle into a loose band, drape around the neck and tie the ends at the front. Leave room around the neck.
Try it with: A simple black dress for dinner with friends.
2. Side knot · Café time
How to wear it: Fold diagonally, then fold the triangle into a band. Wrap around the neck, tie the ends gently and move the knot to one side.
Try it with: A striped cotton top and denim for a relaxed café visit.
3. Front triangle · City commute
How to wear it: Fold corner to corner and place the triangle over the chest. Bring the ends around the neck and tie them loosely at the back or side.
Try it with: A trench coat, a plain knit and a work tote for the daily commute.
4. Across the shoulders · At work
How to wear it: Fold into a broad triangle, drape it over the shoulders and bring both ends forward. Adjust the fold to keep it in place.
Try it with: A tailored jacket and a simple top for office days.
5. Triangle headscarf · Coastal travel
How to wear it: Fold into a triangle. Lay the long edge over the head and tie the two ends gently behind the head, keeping the face clear.
Try it with: An ivory cotton T-shirt, linen trousers and a cross-body bag for a coastal stroll.
6. Narrow headband · Weekend outdoors
How to wear it: Fold diagonally, then into a narrow band. Place it over the hair and tie at the side or underneath, without pulling tightly. Tuck in loose ends if preferred.
Try it with: A casual cotton shirt and denim for a walk or a relaxed weekend.
A gentle finish
Smooth silk can slip. Recheck the knot during wear, keep it loose enough to feel comfortable, and avoid sharp jewellery, pins and rough surfaces.
