Tie your scarf like a Parisian

The easiest shortcut to Parisian chic is le foulard, a feminine scarf such as le carre (the square scarf).

It is made of a light fabric such as cotton, linen, viscose or silk. Size varies from tiny to extra-large, but avoid the long, skinny ones. Fabric should be stiff enough to fluff, but loose enough to hang.

HOW TO WEAR IT: hold up your scarf by one corner so that it creates a pointy shape rather than a horizontal line at the hem, and drape it around your neck.

If it is very big, fold in half to create a large triangle. The ends should hang above the hips, but below the breasts. Casually wrap the ends of the scarf around your neck while ‘fluffing’ it out to create fullness.
