Rectangular Scarves (Long or Oblong)

These are the most versatile scarves in your collection. Great for layering or adding dimension to any outfit.

1. The Loop-Through (European Knot)

Fold the scarf in half lengthwise, drape it around your neck, and pull the loose ends through the loop. It’s a polished look that works well with coats, blazers, or oversized sweaters.

2. The Casual Drape

Just let the scarf hang loosely around your neck. You can wear the ends evenly or let one side hang longer. This style pairs effortlessly with denim jackets, trenches, or longline cardigans.
