Scarves are the fastest growing selling item made of silk. We have created the ultimate luxury silk accessory which can be styled in multiple ways, here is a quick guide on the different ways to wear a Silk Diversity silk scarf.

The Classic Neck Scarf

The primary way to style of one our luxurious silk pieces is as a neck scarf from simply wrapping this around your neck or using fashionable tied knots. For a simple look, you can very easily place you silk scarf over back on your neck and allow it to naturally fall down. This look can work well with a blazer and trouser co-ord.

If you are looking for styles to turn heads, we recommend a few simple knots to style your silk scarf in a different way. For a laid-back look, you could opt for ‘The Choker’ to achieve this statement look, roll your scarf up and tie around your neck in a way which feels comfortable. Alternatively, for a smarter, office look you have ‘The Girl Scout’ where you tie this around your neck and then make a knot with the loose ends.

A Bracelet

For a chic look you can use your scarf as an accessory on your wrist. The look is very easy by folding your scarf in half, loosely roll up and then secure on your wrist with a knot. At Silk Diversity we also offer stylish rings which add a little more finesse and sophistication to your bracelet look. Our rings are available in gold, rose, gold and silver to perfectly match the fine colours of your scarf.

A Headband

The headband is a great way to make a statement hair piece without the need to spend endless hours in the mirror. You can make a headband in the same way as ‘The Girl Scout’ knot, start by wrapping your scarf underneath your hair and finish with your preferred knot at the top.

A Bag Accessory

For 2020 we have seen an increase in the use of bag accessories and silk scarves are the way forward, if you bag does not already have a silk piece fitted then this item is a fantastic way to get your silk bag accessory. You can tie your scarf around the strap of your bag and either finish with a quaint bow or a tight knot.
