The foulard has travelled through time, and has a firm, stable place in fashion, season after season. Its origins are far away from today: there are Asian images with people wearing foulards and scarves dated a thousand years b.C. Then peasants has always worn them on their heads as a protection from sun and wind. 
Here are 3 ways of wearing it:

1. Twist it around the neck and knot it on the side in order not to cover the face. Perfect for the cold season.
2. Lay the middle part of the scarf on the front of your neck and let the two sides fall freely on the shoulders and the back. Very chic and right for a strapless gown.
3. Tie a knot on each end of the scarf and then wear it simply letting it fall on the frontside.

Le sue origini sono molto lontane nel tempo: ve ne sono tracce in alcune immagini ritrovate in Asia e risalenti a un migliaio di anni avanti Cristo. Poi, è da sempre usato anche dalle contadine per ripararsi da vento e pioggia.
