  • Designed for Formal Attire
  • Plush Italian Warp Satin Silk
  • Handmade
  • Arrives in Handsome Gift Packaging

I am going with white tie for my upcoming wedding and it is impossible to get evening wear accessories of this standard in Ireland. GG has definitely solved this problem for me. I love this scarf as it is very plush and drapes beautifully on the front and around the neck. It is the pinnacle of class and sophistication. It does not crease easily and the slightly ivory colour is gorgeous with white tie and black tie.

Product Info

The Most Luxurious Scarf You Can Wear

  • Suitable for Formal Evening Occasions
  • Opulent Heavy Italian Warp Satin Silk
  • Entirely Handmade
  • Hand-Knotted Fringes
  • 180 cm x 35 cm / 70" x 14"

Perfectly Sized for Formal Occasions

The length and width of a scarf massively impact not only its look but also how well it functions as an insulator. Most men’s scarves on the market today are 150 cm x 30 cm, or 60” x 12.” This sizing was selected only to save money on costly resources, and as such, it is too short to provide sufficient warmth or protection from the elements.

We extensively researched and tested various scarf lengths to find the perfect dimensions for our formal evening scarves. We settled on the format of 180 cm x 35 cm, or 70” x 14”: these dimensions provided the perfect union of warmth, coverage, convenience, and styling potential.

Evening Scarf in White Silk Satin - Fort Belvedere

The Refined Contemporary Evening Scarf 

Designed to be worn with Black Tie, this formal evening scarf made entirely from Italian warp silk satin will provide the perfect finishing touch to your ensemble. Its gorgeous double-sided effect, with black on one side and white on the other, appears dynamic and bold, making it the perfect choice for those times when you want to stand out from the crowd in a delightfully nuanced way. 

Historically, formal evening scarves were always a white or cream. We have updated this convention with a scarf that combines pristine white with dignified black. To avoid the sterile appearance of synthetic white fabrics, which look fake with their overly bright white appearance, the white in this scarf is a very subtle off-white, as would have been typical during the Golden Age of Menswear.

Too often, proper outerwear is neglected by those assembling a formal ensemble but once you have experienced the lustrous sheen and soft hand of this scarf, you will wonder how you ever thought your evening ensembles were complete without it. 

Evening Scarf Etiquette

According to Classic conventions, if you are wearing a formal evening overcoat, your ensemble should also include a genuine formal evening scarf. If desired, you may also wear a formal evening scarf with only your tuxedo, dinner suit, or tailcoat, even indoors.

This black and white silk scarf is most properly worn on Black Tie occasions, being, according to the rules of Classic Style, too informal for White Tie.

While outdoors, the evening scarf should be worn with one end thrown over your shoulder with an elegant drape, while the other end hangs down your front. When indoors, the evening scarf should be worn simply draped around your neck untied, with both ends hanging down around your neck.

Care

Washing

Do not attempt to wash your silk satin scarf unless it is heavily soiled; most stains should instead be spot-cleaned with a delicate detergent.

If you do need to fully wash your silk satin scarf, use a dedicated silk detergent and follow its instructions exactly.

Hand wash your scarf in a bowl of tepid water, gently agitating the accessory in the sudsy water. Do not scrub the scarf as you could damage the fibers.

Drying

Gently press your scarf to remove excess water.

Never twist or wring a silk satin scarf!

Allow the scarf to air dry flat on a towel.

Ironing

If your evening scarf is creased or wrinkled, you can use gentle steam from a steamer on a low setting to relax the fibers and restore the smooth surface.

Storage

To maximize the longevity of your scarf and ensure years of enjoyment, you must store it carefully.

We suggest storing it folded and flat for the best results.

While it can be stored hanging when in regular use, do not store it hanging long-term as it could distort the weave.

White Silk Evening Scarf for Black Tie or White Tie

Exquisite Silk

This evening scarf is crafted entirely from 100% silk. Unlike the common silk scarves that are thin and flimsy, ours is crafted from heavy silk, ensuring it exudes the grandeur it was designed for. The traditional weight of our silk guarantees the proper structure, so when you drape it around your neck, it sits in place with grace, enhancing your presence at any formal event.

The luster of a silk scarf is its soul, and most on the market today have lost their shine, settling for the cheaper weft satin. However, Fort Belvedere has forged a partnership with a renowned Italian silk mill to bring you nothing but the finest silk warp satin. This choice is not about cost; it's about delivering a unique and luxurious luster that is worthy of the most prestigious occasions. When you step into the room, your Fort Belvedere scarf will capture the light and attention, reflecting your impeccable taste.

Crafting the perfect silk satin is an art, and we at Fort Belvedere have mastered this art without compromise. Our evening scarf is the epitome of what high-quality silk satin should be. By investing in more warp threads and embracing the intricate process that gives the satin its signature glossy front and matte back, we ensure that each scarf showcases an even sheen and sophisticated luster. This level of detail may be lost on some, but for those who understand the importance of elegance, it makes all the difference. The way the silk threads intertwine reduces the reflection of light, allowing the fabric to glow with an understated brilliance.

What makes this silk evening scarf from Fort Belvedere special?

For formal evening occasions, the use of a genuine evening scarf will assuredly set you apart as a man of taste and refinement. While others pair their tuxedos and dinner jackets with inferior scarves, you can stand out and make a Classic statement by wearing the genuine article: a formal scarf that harmonizes effortlessly with evening overcoats or paletots.

All of our formal evening scarves are double-sided and made from heavy, traditional white silk. When elegantly draped around your neck, this evening scarf will make a massive impression with its one-of-a-kind silk luster that is the perfect complement for all formal evening wear.

Details & Specs

Black Single End Bow Ties in Silk Satin and Silk Moire with Evening Scarf in Black White Silk Satin and Red Carnation Boutonniere
  • Entirely Handmade

    To guarantee the highest possible standards and the neatest possible look, this elegant evening scarf is completely handmade. You will note in particular the hand-knotted ends with their black and white silk fringe, which give the accessory an especially debonair appearance.

  • Fine Silk Warp Satin

    The overwhelming majority of silk produced today is made with weft satin, a cheaper alternative that produces an inferior luster. Fort Belvedere worked with a renowned Italian silk mill to source only the finest silk warp satin, for a unique and luxurious luster that befits formal evening occasions.

  • Heavy Artisan Silk

    To save money, most silk scarves are thin and flimsy, giving them an obviously lank appearance. This Fort Belvedere evening scarf is made from heavy silk in a traditional weight to guarantee the proper structure, with an elegant drape that will sit nicely in place and hang beautifully around your neck.

  • Impeccable Luster

    To achieve the unique look typical of high-quality silk satin, we spared no expense when assembling this evening scarf. To give the satin its signature appearance of a glossy surface on the front and a matte surface on the back, our favored mill wove it with more warp threads, a process that is more difficult and painstaking than working with weft satin but that produces a superior and more sophisticated looking accessory. Because of the particular way that the silk threads are woven together, less light is reflected off of the surface of the fabric, giving the satin its characteristic even sheen and luster.
