Foulard Styling Tips – 001
The foulard is a wonderful accessory that can transform any basic outfit into a memorable outfit.
As we are often asked for styling tips, so we decided to start a visual style guide in our Journal where we continuously post new ideas.
Here are the first few of our favourite “styling tips” from neck wraps to bandanas to waist ties. They are versatile and wearable ideas to help you style your foulard with confidence. These aren’t rigid rules or fixed identities, but suggestions or starting points for your own unique expression.
By the way, please feel free to send us inputs on how to optimise the visual style guide.
Please enjoy : )
The Classic Neck Wrap
A foulard worn loosely around the neck is an effortless way to add subtle texture and personality to any look. Drape it once or twice for a relaxed scarf-like feel, or tuck it gently under your jacket collar as a soft, styled accent. It works just as well over a plain tee as it does layered with a blazer or coat.

The Bandana Fold
Fold your foulard into a triangle and tie it around your head, just above the forehead, with the knot at the back or side. It’s a bold, functional style that keeps hair back and adds character to any look, whether you’re heading to the beach, a market stroll, a festival or just adding a touch of laid-back elegance to your outfit.

The Front-Knot Wrap
Fold your foulard into a long band and wrap it around your head, tying the knot at the front either centred or slightly off to the side. It's a bold yet feminine look that channels effortless confidence. Perfect for keeping hair back on warm days or adding a standout detail to a simple outfit.

The Waist Tie
Wrap your foulard around your waist and tie it softly in a knot or bow. Whether looped through belt loops or layered over a dress or oversized shirt, it adds a relaxed, styled touch without feeling too polished. A simple way to define your silhouette while keeping it light and effortless.

The Sweatband Style
Fold your foulard into a slim band and wrap it around your head, just above the brow. Tie it at the back or side for a sporty, laid-back look that keeps hair (and sweat) off your face. Ideal for active days, summer strolls, or adding an edge to your everyday outfit.

The Bandeau Top
For warmer days or festival styling, wear your foulard as a simple bandeau top. Fold it into a triangle, wrap it around your chest, and tie it securely at the back. It’s a playful, skin-baring look that works well on its own or layered under an open shirt. It's soft, effortless, and full of personality.

The Loose Wrap
Draped loosely over the head, the foulard offers gentle sun protection and a soft frame around the face. A relaxed style that feels both timeless and grounded. Alternatively, worn open across the shoulders, it becomes a light layer that adds texture and movement to any look. Both styles are effortless, elegant, and perfect for warm days when you want to keep things easy but considered.

The Foulard Top
Whether folded into a bandeau, tied halter-style, or layered creatively under a blazer, the foulard easily transforms into a lightweight, statement top. Perfect for travel, summer days, or festival looks. It's a bold yet minimal way to wear art close to the body. Just wrap, tie, and make it your own.

The Everyday Hair Wrap
Fold your foulard into a wide band and wrap it over your head, tying it at the nape of your neck or tucking the ends in for a seamless finish. It’s an easy, everyday style that keeps hair in place while adding a soft, styled touch whether you're out running errands or dressing up a simple outfit with intention.
