How to choose the right silk scarf?

A silk accessory always adds a touch of originality and elegance to your outfits, no matter your body type or personal style. Today, we’re sharing our tips for choosing the perfect silk scarf that’s sure to please both you and your loved one.


Color

Start by considering the color of the silk scarf.

Since it is worn close to your face, it is important to choose a color that complements your skin tone. If you have fair skin or a rosy complexion, opt for scarves in shades of navy blue, green, dark purple, or pastels. If your skin tone is olive or dark, opt for bright colors such as red, orange, or yellow.

At Petitjean Paris, we recommend that, regardless of your skin tone, you incorporate touches of vibrant colors to enhance your complexion and elevate your outfit. Indeed, our "Pas de deux" pattern will add a touch of brightness to your outfits. The combination of patterns and the blue border reimagines the traditional silk scarf as a modern and colorful piece.

Scarf dimensions

From small to maxi sizes, choose the one that best suits your style and preferences.

The mini square can be worn around your neck, in your hair, or on your handbag. Tie the mini square in a knot around your neck and pair it with a pretty white poplin shirt for a rock-and-roll look. In your hair, wear it as a bandana for a bohemian touch. On sunny days, you can also tie it around your bag and then drape it around your neck when it gets cold in the evening. It’s the elegant and versatile touch to your outfit that adapts to all styles and all seasons. Which will you choose?

The classic size, a 75 or 90 cm square, can be worn around the neck, as a tie for a more fashionable look, in the hair during the summer, or even unconventionally as a top. This large size ensures an elegant look and keeps you warm in all seasons. It is the standout piece of your outfit and can be worn for any occasion. The Montpensier knot (as shown in the photo below) keeps your neck warm in winter and adds a touch of softness even in the depths of winter.
