Take A Bow

Wear your silk scarf like you would regularly, but tie the scarf with an elaborate bow to bring everyone's attention to the carré.

Going Bandanas

If your style is more rock chick than bohemian Parisian, try a different look by wearing the scarves in your hair instead. That said, think more Axl Rose or than Erykah Badu.

Tie The Knot

For those with luscious locks, gather your hair into a ponytail and use the carré to tie up your hair. In fact, be daring and experiment—use more than one to add texture and layers.

Lip Service

Another important tip when knotting the scarf is not to do it like your Girl Guide days; wear it loose and knot it mid-way in an almost insouciant manner. Use your favourite band as a scarf ring to knot it.

For those who are driving, you can head directly to 3 Lady Hill Road, but please note that parking facilities will not be available on site.
