Quick answer
A foulard silk scarf can be styled as a necktie, pocket square, or bandana. Choose a versatile square like the Foulard Eau d'Italie #2 for multiple looks.
Why a foulard works for men
A foulard is a square scarf, usually made of cotton or silk. It is lightweight and easy to fold, making it a practical accessory for men who want a subtle pop of color or pattern without a full scarf.
The Eau d'Italie foulards are hand-printed in India using traditional screen-printing techniques. Each piece is unique, with colors inspired by the brand's fragrances.
How to style a foulard silk scarf for men
- Classic necktie fold: Fold the foulard diagonally to form a triangle. Roll the long edge inward until you have a strip about 2 inches wide. Drape it around your neck with the ends hanging in front. Tie a single knot and adjust so the knot sits at your collarbone. Avoid pulling the knot too tight; it should sit loosely for a relaxed look.
- Pocket square fold: Lay the foulard flat. Fold it in half diagonally to create a triangle. Fold the two bottom corners up to meet the top corner, forming a smaller square. Tuck the pointed end into your jacket pocket and adjust so only the folded edge shows. Make sure the foulard is not too bulky for the pocket; a thin cotton square works best.
- Bandana style: Fold the foulard diagonally into a triangle. Place the long edge at the back of your neck and bring the two ends to the front. Tie them once, then tuck the ends under the knot. Adjust the triangle to sit evenly at the front. This style works best with a smaller foulard; a 20-inch square is ideal.
