How to Style Scarves & Blankets All Year Round

A timeless piece for every season

At Welana, we believe that a scarf or blanket can be so much more than a seasonal accessory. It’s a statement of purpose, style, and heritage – and can follow you through every season. Handwoven from Ethiopian cotton or silk blends, our textiles are soft, versatile, and full of soul.

Spring & Summer – light, joyful, easy

When the sun returns, your Welana scarf becomes your favorite light layer. Our finer weaves in colors like “Bale” or “Harar” are perfect for spring mornings or beach afternoons. Drape it loosely around your shoulders, tie it as a top, or wear it as a beach cover-up – it always feels like summer.

Styling tips:

  • Paired with linen and neutrals for a breezy look
  • Tied as a light pareo at the seaside
  • Folded into a headscarf or wrapped as a halter
  • Around your neck for a soft touch at a summer wedding

Autumn & Winter – cozy, classy, conscious

As the air cools down, your Welana scarf brings warmth and softness. Larger designs like “Blue Nile” or “Omo Valley” can be wrapped around your neck or worn as a shawl over your coat. At home, our blankets like “Bishoftu” add warmth to your couch or bed – and a story to your space.

Styling tips:

  • Wrapped twice around your neck on cold days
  • Layered over knits or coats as a cape
  • Worn as a statement wrap in the office
  • Used at home as a blanket for cozy evenings

Ethical fashion for every day

All Welana textiles are handwoven in Ethiopia – supporting artisans, preserving traditions, and making fair production visible. They are more than beautiful: they’re made to last, to accompany you, and to stand for something bigger.

Slow fashion means investing in things that matter. And Welana scarves and blankets are just that: made with care, and meant to stay.
