Silk Scarves In Style Again!
Scarves are everywhere in 2008. Think light, airy, flowing pieces that can be tied like it’s winter or in any direction that inspires you. Many fashonistas have been draping both ends of the scarf around their necks. It doesn’t have to perfect. That’s the whole point. It’s a way to add a piece of your personality to your outfit. After all isn’t fashion just that, an avenue for self expression.
The most versatile fashion accessory in any closet would have to be a scarf. Whether they are to mask a bad hair day, to warm you on a rainy day, or just to spice up a plain outfit, scarves can be a great addition to any wardrobe. To avoid any fashion faux-pas, try to wear plainer scarves if your outfit is rather loud- after all, clashing is not acceptable. With such a variety of fabrics and styles, scarves can be worn throughout the day and night- celebrities have been seen wearing scarves with everything from athletic gear to formal gowns!
The cost of a scarf varies a great deal. However, a well-made scarf does cost. You pay for the quality of fabric and craftsmanship as well as elegant patterns. Names well known for the high quality of scarf produced are Hermes and Chanel. These famous brands have many classic designs. Bluefly.com and Shopbop.com carry a large selection if you want to shop at home. Sometimes, if you are really savvy, you may be fortunate enough to find a vintage Chanel or Hermes piece. Just remember, you will get what you pay for.
Me, I’ll be hitting up my mom’s accessory drawer to see if I can strike gold. Who knew that those flamboyant scarves that my mother paid so much for years ago would turn out to be so valuable today? Thank goodness that fashion is cyclical.
