From square to bracelet: how to choose the right silk scarf size?

Elegant and timeless, the silk scarf is much more than a simple accessory. At Petitjean Paris, every format, from the 90x90cm square to the silk bracelet, is designed to match a style, a look, a moment. But how do you choose the one that suits you best?

The squares: silk elegance

The 90x90cm Square: the center piece

Iconic, the 90x90cm square is a staple of the feminine wardrobe. It lends itself to a thousand styles:

  • Tied as a scarf around the neck

  • Draped over the shoulders like a shawl

  • Belted at the waist or worn as a top

Its generosity makes it an ideal format for lovers of confident, structured, always elegant silhouettes. It is the timeless fashion accessory par excellence.

The 75x75cm Square: the perfect balance

Less imposing than the 90x90cm, more present than the 45x45cm, the 75x75cm square offers discreet versatility. Tied around the neck, in the hair, or even on the handle of a bag, it suits smaller figures or those who prefer a more casual chic, yet always refined, style.

The Gavroche: pocket-sized charm

A small silk gem, the gavroche slips in everywhere, tied around the neck for a retro touch or as a bandana in the hair. Equally appreciated by men and women, this format is an easy-to-wear fashion accessory.

The Lavalline (twilly): the detail that changes everything

Slender and narrow, the lavalline is a long and thin format, worn around the neck, as a scarf or choker, in the hair or tied on a ponytail, or on the handle of a bag.

Light, daring and delicate, it adds a touch of effortless modernity. An elegant and easy-to-adopt accessory.

The Maxi Lavalline (maxi twilly): flowing elegance

Longer and wider, the Maxi Lavalline offers a subtle yet assertive presence.

  • Tied as a feminine silk tie or around the neck like a lavallière

  • Used as a belt

  • Worn with the ends in the back over a low-cut back, for an ultra-elegant and sensual look

This format plays with volumes while maintaining the lightness of silk, perfect for those who like to mix modernity and refinement.

The silk bracelet: a textile jewel

A small silk rectangle, the Petitjean Paris bracelet is an accessory as delicate as a jewel, adding a discreet and elegant touch to an outfit, worn on the wrist or tied on a braid or ponytail.

A subtle touch that adorns gestures and makes all the difference.
