Which size to choose

The silk square scarf, size by size

A silk square scarf folds into a band, a triangle or a wrap, which is why most of our prints come as squares. What changes from one size to the next is how much of you it can cover. It sits within our silk scarves for women, next to the skinny scarves.

Bandana and small squares

The bandana, 20.5–21 in (52–53 cm), is the smallest square silk scarf in the shop. Folded into a band it becomes a headband; folded into a triangle it ties as a kerchief at the nape or sits at the neck, point in front.

The small squares, 25.5–27.5 in (65–70 cm), give a fuller neck knot and enough length to go around the head or a bag handle. When you want a small silk scarf that still ties a generous knot, start here. The small squares are also at the heart of our silk neck scarves.

The 35.5 in (90 cm) square

At 35.5 in (90 cm), the square is long enough to wrap the whole head and tie at the back, or to roll into a band that threads through belt loops. It is the size most people mean when they look for a 35 inch silk scarf. Here it comes in lantern prints with animals, in cream, red and petrol blue, and in a horse print with checks and stripes. Silk scarf head wraps. It is the smallest of our silk head scarves to cover all the hair.

The large square and the shawl, 43.5 in (110 cm) and 51 in (130 cm), are the same shape scaled for the shoulders. Folded once into a triangle, they cover the back and knot in front; opened out, the shawl goes over head and shoulders or ties at the hip as a sarong. Large silk scarves and shawls.

One print, three sizes

One horse print, with checks and stripes in orange, cream and light blue, is offered as a square in 21.5, 27.5 and 35.5 in (55, 70 and 90 cm). Keeping the print the same makes it easy to see what each step up changes: a knot at the nape, then a fuller neck knot, then a full head wrap. The size guide.
