How to wear Barbieri Scarves and Foulards: 10 style tips

January 27, 2026

Elegant, practical, timeless: a Barbieri scarf or foulard isn’t simply worn — it’s chosen deliberately, the way you choose a defining trait of your personality. Tied in a particular way, it says a lot about who you are, even before you speak.

Some people knot a scarf tightly for comfort, others let it fall with studied nonchalance. Either way, it becomes a quiet signature. A small gesture that speaks volumes.

Versatile, sophisticated and always current, Barbieri scarves and foulards can be styled in countless ways — from formal looks to casual outfits, from city chic to Parisian flair.

Here are ten ideas for wearing them with personality, making the most of luxurious fabrics like silk, wool and cashmere.

10 Ways to Wear Barbieri Scarves and Foulards

Changing the way you tie a scarf can completely transform an outfit — did you ever imagine that? That’s why we’re taking a closer look at ten ways to style Barbieri scarves and foulards at their best.

1. Classic Center Knot
A true evergreen. Simply cross the ends at the front and tie a neat knot at the center of the neck.
Perfect over tailored Barbieri blazers and coats.

2. Soft Side Knot
Clean and modern: make a small knot on one end and slide the other through to adjust the length.
Ideal with monochrome shirts and trench coats.

3. Cravat Style
Folded into a slim strip and tied at the front, it gives off an effortlessly French vibe.
With patterned silk Barbieri foulards, it becomes irresistible.

4. Bandana Around the Neck
Fold the foulard into a triangle, leave the point on the chest and tie it at the back of the neck for a relaxed yet polished look.
Great with denim jackets or oversized coats.

5. Draped Without a Knot
Let it fall softly over the shoulders to highlight the fluidity of the fabric.
Perfect for lightweight Barbieri scarves in cashmere or modal.

6. Double Wrap Around the Neck
Practical in colder months but always chic: wrap it twice and arrange the ends at the front.
A winter staple with coats and knitwear.

7. As a Hair Scarf or Bandana Style
Rolled and tied over the head or at the nape of the neck, it adds a retro touch. And what about wearing it as a bandana — always chic, of course?
Barbieri’s iconic prints will never go unnoticed.

8. Tied to Your Bag
Fastened to a handle, the foulard becomes a decorative detail that turns a simple tote into a couture-level accessory.

9. Statement Bow at the Front
Romantic and eye-catching: tied into a generous bow, it elevates minimalist shirts and solid-colour dresses.

10. Soft Side Knot
Relaxed yet refined, worn slightly off-centre with the ends falling over the shoulder.
Perfect for adding movement to more structured looks.
