54 7 Simple and Stylish Ways to Wear a Twilly Scarf
05/04/2026
The twilly scarf takes the silk tradition and reinvents it for the modern wardrobe, proving that sometimes the smallest accessories make the biggest impression.
A twilly scarf is actually a ribbon, made of two layers of twill silk cut diagonally at the ends and sewn together.
The twilly scarf does not drape like a classic scarf, does not cover like loose scarves and does not warm like thick scarves. It has a very subtle aesthetic function: it places a discreet accent wherever you choose: on the neck, in the hair, on the waist or even on another accessory. Here are some wearing ideas and some tying techniques.
1. In combination with a pearl necklace
Silk and pearls work well together because they are opposite in structure (pearls are round and rigid, silk is fluid) and similar in message (both speak of refinement and elegance). Choose a pearl necklace close to the base of the neck. Tie the twilly with a knot or bow. If you have a longer necklace, you can wrap it twice around your neck to get two rows of pearls.
2. In your hair, in a ponytail or braid
You can simply tie it at the base of a ponytail for a preppy hairstyle. Or you can even integrate it into your hairstyle, braided or knotted as your inspiration takes you.
3. Shaped like a flower
This is a knot that looks more meticulous, but in reality it's just a twist + roll. Once you do it once, it goes very quickly. Follow the detailed tutorial here. Many twilly scarves have a monochromatic back. The "Cu soare" scarf from Rozmarin Concept has an electric blue back. Twisting it like this, I got a blue flower full of poetry and romance. (Fun fact – don't try this with a brown scarf. The result will make you think of a certain emoticon, which has nothing to do with elegance.)
4. Braided on a simple wire choker
Fold the scarf in half, on either side of the choker. Start braiding alternating sections of fabric (a simple three-strand braid, except one of the strands is the choker itself). Adjust the volume — tighter for a structured look, looser for a relaxed one. Knot the end and... voila! You've got a one-of-a-kind necklace! The secret: don't force the fabric — let it fall organically for that chic, effortless effect. Watch the detailed tutorial here
5. Braided on the bag handle
You will proceed exactly as in the previous point. Only this time the third strand of the braid will be the bag handle. It instantly changes the look of the bag and adds color without charging.
6. At the trouser hem
You tie it with a simple knot or a bow on a single hem and let it fall. Or you can wear it under two hems. It's a relaxed detail, good for casual outfits.
7. Instead of a drawstring on a trench coat
Replace the classic drawstring with a scarf. It's a simple way to change up a classic trench coat and add a little bit of your personality.
Conclusion
A simple accessory, in the right place, makes an outfit look instantly better. A well-chosen twilly scarf adds a point of interest and gives direction to the whole. Discover the twilly scarf collection from Rozmarin concept here .
