The art of wearing a silk square

This is perhaps the most natural way to wear a 90 × 90 cm square.

Fold it diagonally into a triangle. You can let the point fall at the front and tie the ends behind the neck, or bring them forward for a more enveloping look.

For a cleaner silhouette, fold the triangle in on itself several times to make a band. Loosely knotted around the neck, it reveals more of the border and transforms the square’s composition.

The knot does not need to be perfectly centred. Shifted slightly to one side, it often gives the square a more natural look.

Worn open, the square reveals more of its design and the richness of its colours.

Open it into a triangle and simply place it over the shoulders, with both ends falling freely in front. It can also be shifted slightly to one shoulder for a more asymmetric line.

This way of wearing it is particularly suited to letting the motif express almost its full composition. Over a shirt, dress or simple knit, the square becomes a true part of the silhouette.

The dimensions of a 90 × 90 cm square also make it possible to wear it around the waist.

Folded diagonally, it can be tied at the side over a dress, skirt or trousers. The point can remain visible or be folded further, depending on the effect you want.

Worn this way, the square brings colour and movement without necessarily becoming the centre of an outfit.

A large square can also become a light garment.

Folded into a triangle and tied simply, it can be worn as a top on warm days or under a jacket. Depending on the knot, the design can cover the front of the silhouette or show more of the border.

It is one of the most different ways to rediscover the same square: what was an accessory becomes a piece in its own right.

A printed square changes according to the way it is folded.

A diagonal fold naturally highlights the centre of the design. Folded into a band several times, the square reveals more of its borders, lines and touches of colour. A freer drape lets several parts of the composition appear together.

Before looking for a precise knot, simply observe the square laid flat. Choose the colour or detail you want to show, then fold it from that part of the design.

The same square can therefore offer very different expressions.

There is no need to master complex knots. The simplest gestures are often the ones we naturally adopt every day.

Around the neck, over the shoulders, tied at the waist or transformed into a top, the square takes on a different character with each person who wears it.

Try, untie, fold again. In time, certain gestures become familiar—and the square truly becomes your own.
