Silk Scarfs

Gray as a ground, a border, a detail

In these prints gray rarely shouts: it is the dove gray behind a tropical pavilion or the border around leafy sprigs and birds. Find the size that fits how you wear it.

Gray silk scarves: the quiet color in the print

A gray silk scarf in this edit is a print in which gray plays the supporting part: a soft ground, a border, a shade among orange leopards. It calms the brighter colors around it and lets the drawing show.

Dove gray and a gray border

The clearest gray here is dove gray, a light, soft shade that grounds a small square of a tropical garden and pavilion, with mustard and cream. On a square of leafy sprigs and birds, gray works as the border, framing cream and pale yellow. These small squares, 25.5 to 27.5 in (65 to 70 cm), knot at the neck or tie onto a bag. Both are part of our silk square scarves.

Gray beside orange, rust and green

Gray is at its most useful next to strong color. On a shawl of overlapping leopards it sits between orange and a leaf-green border, and keeps the print from feeling loud. On a bandana of anemones, lilies and bees it shades burnt orange and white. A small square of drifting leaves in taupe, rust and black shows the warmer, browner side of the color. The leopard shawl has its own place among the animal print silk scarves.

Wearing gray with the rest of your wardrobe

Because gray is already a neutral, these scarves move easily between outfits. The dove gray and mustard square suits a navy sweater or a white shirt; the leaf square in taupe and rust sits well on a camel or chocolate coat; the leopard shawl, with its leaf-green border, looks right over olive or khaki. With denim, any of them works, the gray linking the blue to the brighter shades. For darker or lighter grounds, see the black and the white silk scarves.

From bandana to shawl in gray

Gray runs from the bandana to the shawl. The bee bandana measures 21 in (53 cm), for a headband or a kerchief at the nape; the small squares sit just above it. The largest square, 43.5 in (110 cm), shows a painted riverside village in cream, sage and mustard, soft enough to sit among the grays, and the leopard shawl opens to 51 in (130 cm), wide enough for the head and shoulders. How the sizes compare.

Questions about gray silk scarves

I searched for a grey silk scarf: is gray the same color?

Yes. Gray and grey are two spellings of the same color: gray is the spelling used here, grey the one common elsewhere. We write gray across the site, so the dove gray square, the gray borders and the gray in the leopard and bee prints all sit under that spelling.

Won't a gray scarf look dull?

Not in these prints. Gray sits next to mustard, cream, orange or leaf green, and those colors keep it lively while the gray keeps them calm. The dove gray square is warmed by mustard, and the leopard shawl pairs its gray with a strong orange.

Silver or gold jewelry with a gray silk scarf?

Silver follows the cool side of gray and suits the square of leafy sprigs with its gray border. Gold picks up the mustard and orange that sit beside gray in the tropical pavilion and leopard prints. Let the warmest color in the scarf decide.

Does a gray print work in an all-black or all-white wardrobe?

Yes, and it is one of the easiest ways to add color without breaking the palette. Against black, the bandana of anemones and bees puts burnt orange at the neck. Against white or cream, the dove gray square with mustard keeps the look soft. Gray links the scarf to the clothes.

Is gray a good color for a first silk scarf?

It is one of the easiest. A gray print with one warm color goes with navy, black, white, camel and denim, so it fits most of a wardrobe from the first day. Start small, with the square of leafy sprigs and birds, 27.5 in (70 cm), knotted at the neck. Eight knots to try.
