How to Wear a Carré: 5 Ways to Style a Square Scarf

A carré doesn't come with instructions. That's the point.

The square silk-style scarf has outlived every trend that tried to define it — because it was never really about the scarf. It's about what you do with it. Here are five ways to wear yours.

1. Classic Neck Knot

Fold into a triangle, wrap around the neck, knot at the front or side. The oldest trick, and still the fastest way to make an outfit look considered.

2. Bag Charm

Loop it through the handle of a bag and tie loosely. A small gesture that reads as an intentional one.

3. Hair Wrap

Fold into a long band, wrap around a low ponytail or bun, knot and tuck. Works especially well with the 70x70cm size.

4. Waist Sash

Thread through belt loops or knot over a plain dress. The 90x90cm and 120x120cm sizes give enough length to tie without strain.

5. Wall Art

Frame it. A carré's print is built like a poster — the Art Deco travel-poster illustrations in our Riviera Collection were designed to hold their own on a wall, not just around a neck.

However you wear it, the print does the talking. Le style ne se transmet pas. Il se prend.
