Adjust the knot to your desired tightness, allowing the ends to hang loosely or tuck them into your shirt for a cleaner look. This chic and effortless style adds a pop of colour and personality to any outfit, whether you're dressing up or keeping it casual.
Headscarf or Hair Accessory
Silk is so kind to your hair, anti-static and anti-hair breakage due to its super soft feel. So make the most of this feature creating hair styles and looks with a silk scarf.
For a more modest look, fold your scarf in half to create a triangle, drape the triangle over your head to line your upper forehead, cross the two ends under the chin, and tie into a knot at the back of your neck.
