Silk Scarfs
Lilac, violet and periwinkle
Purple is mostly a bandana color here: solid lilac, painted irises, a watercolor flower on ivory. Each one works as a headband, a kerchief or a knot at the neck.
Purple silk scarves, from lilac to violet
A purple silk scarf here leans soft and cool: lilac on a solid bandana and in a watercolor flower, periwinkle in a bouquet, and a deeper violet framing painted irises.
Lilac, solid or in watercolor
Lilac is the main purple in this collection. It is the single color of a solid bandana, with no print to compete with it, and it washes through a watercolor flower on ivory with ochre, inside a framed edge, on a silk bandana. Lilac is also close to what many people call a lavender silk scarf, though lavender leans a little bluer. Pinker lilacs lead on to the pink silk scarves.
Violet irises and periwinkle bouquets
The deepest purple sits on a bandana of painted irises: flowers in green, purple and yellow inside a violet border, a print that pairs well with olive, khaki and white. Periwinkle bouquets fill a blush shawl with a cream border and touches of orange. On a skinny scarf, lilac shares canal facades, brick and waves with sky blue and green. The iris bandana also sits on the green silk scarves page.

Purple with neutrals and with color
Soft purples are easier than they look. Lilac and periwinkle sit well with gray, navy, cream and light denim, and they soften an all-black outfit. Violet is stronger: wear the iris bandana with a camel coat or a white shirt and keep the rest of the outfit quiet.
Bandanas, skinny scarf and shawl
Most purple prints here are bandanas of 21 in (53 cm), worn as a headband, a kerchief at the nape, a triangle at the neck or a knot on a bag. The canal facades skinny scarf, 2 × 35.5 in (5 × 90 cm), goes in a ponytail or around the wrist. The bouquet shawl, 51 in (130 cm), wraps the shoulders or the head and shoulders. Read the size guide.
Questions about purple silk scarves
What is the difference between lilac and periwinkle?
Lilac is a pale purple with a pinkish cast; periwinkle sits on the blue side, with a hint of violet. Here lilac colors the solid bandana and the watercolor flower, while periwinkle fills the bouquets on the blush shawl. The solid periwinkle bandana is filed with our blue scarves. See the blues.
Is lilac a cool color or a warm one?
Lilac sits on the cool side, but its touch of pink keeps it soft. That is why it looks fresh with gray, navy and white, and why the ochre in the watercolor flower bandana warms it up. If your wardrobe leans warm, a lilac print with ochre or yellow is the easier way in.
Is a solid lilac silk scarf easier to match than a print?
In most cases, yes. A solid lilac bandana has one color to place, so it goes with gray, navy, white and denim without any thought about clashing patterns. A print such as the irises asks a little more: pick up one of its colors, the green or the yellow, in your clothes.
Do purple and green clash?
No, and the iris bandana shows how: purple flowers, green and a touch of yellow, all held by a violet border. The skinny scarf with canal facades mixes lilac with green and sky blue more softly. Wear either one with cream or denim so the pairing stays in the scarf.
Does a purple scarf go with yellow?
Very well; yellow is the color that makes purple look most purple. The watercolor flower bandana already sets lilac against ochre, a muted yellow. Wear the solid lilac bandana with a butter-yellow sweater, or let the scarf hold the yellow and keep the rest of the outfit gray or cream.
