Fluid scarf in blue jeans with silver accents

A 90 x 180 cm scarf, and what that size allows

A rectangle this long behaves differently from a square folded into a triangle. 90 x 180 cm is roughly shoulder-width across and twice that in length, enough for two loops at the neck with the ends still free. Woven in a thin, supple viscose, it falls straight instead of bunching at the throat. Folded on a shelf the scarf looks modest; wrapped, it takes up far more room.

Silver chevrons on a softened denim blue

The ground colour is a denim blue with a little grey in it, muted rather than bright. Across it run broad metallic chevrons, some solid, others broken into short dashes. The silver catches light without glittering: from a few steps away it reads as texture, and only close up does the zigzag resolve into a clear pattern. Knot it at the neck and the lines break over the folds, losing their alignment, which stops the pattern looking stamped on.

From a mild afternoon to a cold evening

On a mild day it works on its own over a jumper, with the width taken up in one loose loop. When the temperature drops it goes under a trench or a wool coat, and only a strip of silver shows above the collar. For an evening out, laid flat across the shoulders, the same piece becomes a light stole and the chevron finally shows at full width. Denim blue sits easily with navy, charcoal and camel; against black the silver reads much sharper. For other prints, shapes and lengths, see the full scarf range.

Washing and ironing viscose with a metallic finish

Nothing here needs special treatment, though viscose rewards a light hand. Use a gentle 30°C wash, ideally inside a mesh bag, and skip the tumble dryer entirely. Lay it flat to dry rather than hanging it up. For the iron, a low setting on the reverse side keeps the chevrons sharp. Between wears the scarf is happier folded in a drawer than hooked over a hanger.
