HOW TO TIE AND WEAR LONG OBLONG SCARVES: STYLE IDEAS

May 28, 2018 4 min read

Not only is a gorgeous long oblong scarf perfect to accent any outfit; it is also delightfully easy to tie. Let's first get rid of a common misconception: "only people with a long neck can wear a long scarf". Totally wrong! Whereas a bulky knitted scarf is certainly not flattering, a scarf made of lightweight silk or airy polyester chiffon works on any body types. If you are looking for a chic corporate gift or an elegant uniform accent - especially for women who are not familiar with scarves - ANNE TOURAINE USA Custom Scarves and Ties project managers will always recommend a long stole as a first choice.

Check below the many different and easy ways to wear a long scarf we have selected for you. For all of them, we used oblong silk chiffon scarves from the ANNE TOURAINE Paris™ scarf collection: their size (26"x 67") and lightweight silk fabricmake them so simple to wrap and so pleasant to wear!
