Be Fashion With Scarves, Even In The Winter

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 by ellen

When the temperatures drop and the wind starts to blow, any extra layer of protection is appreciated.  Experts say the head and the feet are the two places where your body loses heat the fastest.  Therefore, they should also be the best protected in terms of maintaining your body heat during cold or freezing weather.

While technically it may not be a part of the head, the neck is also a critical area for maintaining warmth and holding in the heat during cold temperatures.  Winter scarves can be the key difference between feeling the frigid temperatures and feeling warm and toasty despite the temperatures.  And scarves are also a must have fashion accessory this season.

Winter scarves are typically knit or crocheted from thick yarn to provide added insulation for your body.  More recently, however, scarves have become fashionable in many different styles, constructed of many different materials.  Today you can find scarves in just about every fabric and fiber under the sun.

Man-made fleece fabrics as well as cotton and polyester blends are popular.  Soft flannel, wool, and even cashmere are appropriate.  100% cotton scarves are soft and comfortable, and unusual fibers like alpaca wool are used for a more exotic look, feel, and texture in other scarves.

Scarves can be long or short or just neck warmers.  Some silk scarves come with fringe and some without.  Some are thick and bulky, while others are thin and sleek or soft and silky.  Still others are gathered or shirred down the middle for stretch and a “scrunch” appearance.  You’ll find scarves in solids, plaids, stripes, polka dots, and more.  And you can buy them in any color.

Scarves were originally created primarily for warmth.  They were a practical means of helping keep out the cold.  And they still serve this purpose well-especially for people with short hair or those who don’t wear a hat or hood.

But today scarves aren’t all about just warmth.  Scarves are showing up this winter paired with plaid shirts and layered looks, worn with jeans and worn with skirts.  And they’re being worn and seen indoors as well as out, tucked beneath a shirt color or lapel, tied or knotted at the neck or mid chest level, or just slung around the shoulders and neck.

In a way, scarves seem to be temporarily replacing necklaces as a fashion accessory.  They provide a leading line directing the eye up toward a person’s face.  And they accessorize the neckline itself, providing color, texture, and interest much like a necklace would do.

Scarves are also being used to belt skirts and dresses these days.  This also provides a leading line and emphasis; however, it is on the waist rather than the neckline.  A thinner scarf tends to narrow the waistline while a thicker, bulkier scarf does not.  Depending on body shape, however, both are very attractive.

In any event, scarves are making a fashion statement this winter.  And they’re also warming the bodies that wear them.  So they’re definitely a smart fashion choice!

Do You Have A Plan To Take Scarves As A Gift?

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 by ellen

Choosing any item of clothing for a gift can often be difficult. There are so many things that need to be taken into consideration. Not the least of which is the receivers own sense of style, fashion and color preferences. While a scarf can be a wonderful and imaginative gift idea, choosing the right one can seem like an overwhelming task. This simple guide may make choosing the perfect gift simpler.

Age of the Recipient
The first thing you need to take into consideration is the age of the recipient. Younger people tend to be drawn towards brighter colors and wild designs. If you are choosing a scarf for someone under 30 then choosing something with a rainbow of bright colors in stripes or a geometrical design will not only be appreciated but will actually allow them to wear this accessory with countless items, especially jeans.

If you are choosing a gift for an older person, then choose from one of many beautiful scarves that come in a neutral color. Monochromatic designs in oatmeal, cream, white, black or even red will go with more outfits in an older individuals wardrobe and can be worn for casual, business or even dress.

Styles of Scarves
Scarves come in different shapes and styles. There are scarves that are long and thin, big squares that can double as shawls and everything that is in between. Here is where knowing an individual sense of style comes in handy. However, if you do know their sense of style you may want to purchase a long and thin scarf as it can be worn in a variety of different ways making it easy for the recipient to use this accessory to create their own style.

Another option would be instead of giving just one, give two or three scarves in different shapes and styles that will allow the receiver to experiment with different ways to wear these creations.

Material
Choosing the right material is as important as choosing the right scarf. Most women will enjoy the look, feel and luxury of a cashmere or silk scarf. These materials will also go well with any kind of outfit lending more versatility to your gift. However, if your budget is limited there are many polyester blends and even cottons that are used in scarves that can give a very exclusive and fashionable look to any outfit.

Scarves for Men
If you are choosing from a selection of scarves for men, then your safest choice is to choose a simple lightweight cashmere one that can be worn with either a sweater or a suit. You can also match a silk one with a matching tie for more formal occasions if the man likes to look dignified when he dresses up.

Choosing the right scarf to give as a gift is relatively simple as long as you remember that simplicity is usually the key in choosing these accessories. Sticking to the basics of color and design and selecting materials that feel and look luxurious is the key to choosing the perfect gift.
