Over The Shoulder

Loop Knot

Perfect for chillier days the loop knot offers both serious style and warmth. Choose a long scarf for this knot to get just the right finish. Hang the scarf around your neck with both one end hanging around double the length of the other.

This works on casually days with jeans and a sweater and even beneath outerwear under a spring coat. Choose patterned or colourful fabric to make a statement with this easy to wear look.
