Gift Guide Part 3 - The Wildly Versatile Classic

And here we are, in Gift Guide Part 3! If you missed Parts 1 and 2, they're on the website over here.

So, let's talk about quite possibly the most versatile scarf shape of all!

Rectangles are a classic in heavier weight scarves, but they work marvelously in our lightweight habotai silk.

The light hand of the fabric actually allows for some more creative styling (extra good if you want something to add zest to a summer outfit), while the natural silk is still perfectly capable of keeping you warm when you wear it more closely around your neck in the winter

Rectangle scarves are perfect for gifting if you don't really know how someone likes to wear their scarves.

They're nice, because there are several very basic ways to style them - loop once around the neck and let the ends lie, tie like a neck tie, wear draped over your neck and hanging down.

Styling tip: use our scarf magnets to pin your scarf to your shirt/jacket/sweater on either side, to keep your scarf in place while looking amazing and flowy - and without damaging your clothes or the scarf.

On the other hand, rectangles give people who like to have fun with their scarves plenty to work with.

And no matter what, they are a vibrant accent for a variety of looks, ranging from casually cozy at home alone to holiday chic with all your coworkers (or in-laws).

Happy gifting!

Warmly,
