Green Khaki Floral Scarf

Oversized green blooms on a deep khaki ground

The print keeps to one idea and repeats it large: five-petal flowers in mint and lime, scattered without a strict grid, with the occasional yellow-green among them. Each one holds a small dark centre ringed with a paler tone, which is what stops the flowers sinking into the deep khaki ground behind them. Both ends finish in short frayed fringing. If you want to see how it compares, the range also holds plain shades and smaller repeat prints.

Colours that sit well with khaki

Khaki is an easy neutral to build around. A navy peacoat, an oatmeal jumper or stone chinos all let the lime flowers do the talking, and none of them competes for attention. Tonal works too, as long as the two greens stay clearly apart: a flat olive jacket under this brighter print, rather than two shades half a step from each other. Against charcoal or black in winter, the scarf becomes the one bright thing you are wearing.

Three ways to wear 90x180cm

Folded lengthways into a band, the scarf tightens the print and the pale flowers line up one after another. Opened out, the full 90x180cm covers the width of the back and sits like a stole over an open jacket. Looped twice at the neck, as photographed, it forms a soft collar with the fringing falling at the front. The voile stays thin throughout, so nothing bunches up where it is tied.

Long or square?

Length is what separates this one from the rest of the section. A long scarf drapes and loops, while a square, knotted shorter, folds into a triangle first and sits closer to the collarbone. Similar prints, different behaviour once tied.
