There are different interpretations of this narrow style scarf:
The long skinny scarf in silk satin chiffon is based on a vintage 1920’s style scarf, it’s timeless and strikingly modern. This scarf look was revived again in the 1970’s, think cool-as-you-like Anita Pallenberg and Keith Richards, that all important element of rock chic. This long chiffon scarf goes with everything, from trouser suits, tuxedo jackets, jumpsuits, dresses, T-shirts. Wrap it around the neck once with the two ends hanging down or for a more feminine look tie it pussy-bow fashion at a jaunty angle to give it a cool vibe. The patterns range from vintage inspired florals to colourful stripes. It’s printed on the bias for a gorgeous drape and fluidity, it feels so soft around the neck. Each end of the scarf is cut on the diagonal, so it hangs beautifully, all finished with hand-rolled edges. Imagine yourself in an open-top car with the long silk scarf thrown over one shoulder!
The tassel fringed long silk scarf – it’s time to dress up with this scarf. Take references from Yves Saint Laurent ‘Le Smoking’ Tuxedo suit for women in 1966 and epitomised by a photograph by Helmut Newton in 1975. It’s glamourous with an androgenous feel. Wrap it around the neck or simply drape with a tailored jacket or suit. Crafted from silk twill, it’s a two-sided scarf, and comes with or without fringes. One side has a neat pinstripe floral and the other has a bright flash of red or bright blue to give a bright pop of colour and contrast. This is the perfect evening or special occasion scarf that is worn by women and increasingly by men, young and older, who enjoy the louche look with shirts and blazers.
The long silk scarf is also favoured by men in a more classic way. With a vintage feel this long silk tubular scarf is crafted from a supremely soft 100% silk twill with hand-finished soft fringed edges. A versatile piece that will take you from work to dinner, or from casual dress to black tie; an elegant scarf to update any men’s outfit. A key designer accessory is a great way to add a luxurious edge to your wardrobe, and a silk scarf can be worn with all kinds of different outfits to really showcase your style. They’re practical too, for keeping you warm when the sun goes down. So, if you’re planning an evening at the opera or a romantic date with your partner, a silk men’s scarf ensures you’ll look suave all night long. Discover a range of unique and eye-catching geometric patterns, checks and spots in black, greys, navy, blue and copper browns. In terms of styling most men wrap the silk scarf once around the neck and let the ends hang loose without tying them together – a look that is elegant, sleek, and functional. Others prefer to wrap the scarf around twice and then tug the ends in between over-coat and suit jacket – a perfect and sophisticated look that adds additional warmth on colder days. Others once again prefer to lay the scarf over each shoulder without wrapping it around the neck. This is the look that is most commonly seen on opera scarves worn with formal tuxedo jacket. This makes the perfect gift for him, something to treasure.
