Styling the scarf tie front or back
This cashmere-and-silk knit comes with an integrated narrow scarf at the neckline that can be styled in different ways. The retailer suggests tying it at the front for a sophisticated look or at the back for what they call an irresistible effect—product photos show it wrapped once around the neck with narrow ends falling toward the chest. The retailer describes the reversible top as an invitation to get creative with its styling possibilities.[1,2,3]
Styling a reversible scarf-neck sweater two ways
This fine-knit cashmere and silk sweater has a scarf-style neckline you can tie at the front for a sophisticated look, or at the back for a different effect. It's designed to be worn either way, so you can switch up the styling to match your mood.[1]
Pairing the Sweater with a Skirt
This loose-fitting sweater can be styled in several ways with a skirt. It can be worn to drape loosely at the hips or slightly tucked in to create a gentle roll and a blouson effect at the waist.[2,4]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Cashmere And Silk Scarf-Neck Sweater: Choose this if you want a creative, versatile knit: this reversible fine-knit sweater can be worn either way, with a scarf-style tie neck the retailer suggests tying at the front for a sophisticated look or at the back for what it calls an irresistible effect. It is made in Japan from an even 50% cashmere and 50% silk blend described as exceptionally soft, with a relaxed loose fit, drop shoulders, ribbed edging, a small keyhole at the front neckline, and a dark charcoal color. Note that the listing shows it offered in size 2.[1,3] | Flat Seams Fine-Knit Turtleneck Top: Choose this if you want a minimalist, sleek fine-knit turtleneck in Off White — it has a fitted silhouette, a high snug collar, very short cap sleeves that leave most of the upper arm exposed, and narrow, nearly flush seams that the brand describes as designed for maximum comfort. The stretch knit is a cotton-nylon blend (60% nylon, 36% cotton, 4% polyurethane) with a smooth, matte finish, and it is made in Japan. Note that this listing covers only the size 2 variant.[5,6,7] | Concealed Knit Asymmetrical Sheer Top: Choose this if you want a sculptural, semi-sheer knit with an asymmetrical draped panel and boat neck that layers easily over an underlayer, made from a fine, lightweight lyocell and nylon blend (75% lyocell, 25% nylon) with a soft, skin-friendly feel and comfortable drape, and made in Japan. Note that its noticeable sheerness means it is styled over a visible layer, and care requires hand washing cold or dry cleaning only, laid flat to dry.[8,9,10,11] |
