10 Ways to Wear a RUMI Silk Scarf: A Unisex Ode to Style, Story, and Craft

At RUMI, a silk scarf is never just a scarf. It’s a canvas of heritage, a whisper of craftsmanship, and a thread between cultures. Our 65x65cm artisan-crafted silk scarves are designed to be worn by anyone—regardless of gender, age, or aesthetic. Whether you’re dressing for ceremony or spontaneity, each fold and knot becomes a personal ritual.

Here are ten timeless and contemporary ways to wear your RUMI scarf:

The Signature Knot

Fold into a triangle and tie gently at the front of the neck. This classic look suits sharp tailoring, relaxed shirting, or layered knitwear—adding a touch of colour and quiet confidence.

The Bandana Wrap

Tie around the head for a bold, practical statement. Whether worn with a linen kurta, denim jacket, or tailored coat, it evokes both wanderlust and grounded style.

The Waist Cinch

Thread through belt loops or wrap around the waist to elevate trousers, skirts, or robes. It’s a subtle way to introduce pattern and movement to minimalist silhouettes.

The Headband Fold

Style as a headband—knotted or bowed—for a look that’s equal parts poetic and functional. Ideal for studio days, travel, or simply keeping hair in place with flair.

The Handle Accent

Tie around your bag handle or briefcase strap. It’s a small gesture that carries your story with you—whether you’re heading to a gallery, market, or meeting.

The Wrist Wrap

Loop around the wrist like a soft bracelet. This styling works beautifully with rolled sleeves, layered jewellery, or as a standalone statement.

The Scarf Top

For warmer days or expressive evenings, wear as a top—folded and tied across the chest. Layer under a jacket or over swimwear for a gender-fluid, artful silhouette.

The Shoulder Drape

Let the scarf fall loosely over one or both shoulders. It’s effortless, dramatic, and ideal for transitional weather or ceremonial wear.

The French Knot

Place the centre at the front of your neck, wrap around, and tie a soft knot to one side. This timeless European style pairs beautifully with collared shirts or open necklines.

The Cowboy Revival

For a sporty-chic look, fold the scarf into a triangle and tie it behind your neck. This style can be worn to glamour up or add a playful touch to your outfit. For a Western vibe, pair it with a denim shirt and sleek boots.

More Than Style

Each RUMI scarf is a story—woven with ethical silk, crafted in Britain, and designed to transcend borders. Whether worn by a poet, a traveller, a designer, or a dreamer, it invites you to express your truth with grace.
