The Iconic Silk Square: Three Ways To Wear
On the art of wearing a 60 × 60 cm square
A silk square is never merely worn.
It is composed.
At sixty centimeters, the silk carré finds its ideal balance: intimate yet expressive, precise yet fluid. It invites gesture, rewards intention, and transforms with the smallest shift of the hand. To tie a silk scarf is not to follow a rule, but to enter into dialogue with the material itself.
Below are three ways to wear the silk square at the neck — timeless forms, each carrying a distinct temperament.
I. The Twist![]()
ed Reverie
Fold the scarf on the diagonal.
Then again, into a long, slender ribbon.
Drape it evenly around the neck. Take both ends and twist them together twice, allowing the silk to coil gently upon itself. Fold the twisted ends back and tie them discreetly at the nape of the neck.
The result is sculptural yet soft — the perfect accessory to keep warm while imbuing the elegance of silk into any outfit.
II. The Poised Knot
Begin again with a diagonal fold, then shape the scarf into a long strip.
Place it around the neck, letting one end fall longer than the other. Take the longer end and fold it over, then under the shorter end. Guide it upward through the fabric at the neck, then pass it gently through the loop formed over the shorter end.
Tighten only slightly.
This knot has a subtle asymmetry — composed, but never rigid.
III. The Layered Embrace
Fold on the diagonal, then into a long strip once more.
Wrap the scarf twice around the neck, allowing the silk to layer naturally. Secure it with a simple, elegant knot, leaving the folds visible and intentional.
This style creates depth and warmth, a quiet abundance.
Perfect for cooler days, or moments that ask for presence.
A Final Note
No two ties are ever identical, nor should they be.
Adjust them. Loosen them. Make them yours. In the end, the most beautiful way to wear a silk square is the one that feels right to you.
