Long Scarves
Long scarves give you drape and coverage that a square cannot. Wear one as a shoulder wrap, a layered neck scarf, or a headscarf and hijab. Cut from lightweight, breathable fabric, our long scarves hold a knot without slipping and move beautifully all day.
Everything to know about long scarves
How to choose a long scarf
Length and fabric matter most. A longer, lighter scarf drapes softly and is easy to wrap, style, or pin as a headscarf, while a slightly heavier weave adds structure and warmth. Choose a plain long scarf for effortless everyday coverage, or a printed one to lead the outfit. Consider how you will wear it most, coverage, warmth, or statement, and let that guide the design.
Ways to wear a long scarf
A long scarf is the workhorse of a scarf wardrobe. Drape it over the shoulders as a wrap, loop it once around the neck for a layered look, or fold and pin it as a headscarf or hijab where length and coverage matter. The extra fabric gives you room to experiment with volume and drape that shorter scarves cannot offer.
Caring for your long scarves
Treat printed and satin-finish long scarves gently. Hand wash cool, reshape while damp, and dry flat or hang to keep the length even. Store hung or loosely rolled rather than folded hard, and press on the reverse at low heat to keep the drape smooth and the print vivid.
