Scarves
have been around since ancient times, but they seem to be making a huge comeback in 2023. It's like they never left
as a fashion trend! We're seeing them everywhere from street-style fashion
blogs to high-end designer collections.
A scarf
is used for
warmth, sun protection, cleanliness, fashion, religious reasons, or to show
support for a sports club or team. Scarves
can be made from materials including wool, linen, silk, and cotton. Scarf is
one of the must haves of the winter season.
A scarf
can protect your neck from the cold weather. You can also wrap it around your head and ears if
you wish to. Here's one of the practical reasons for you to trust scarves in
winter. Apart from covering your skin, they can create a pocket of warm air as
you breathe under your scarf.
A winter
scarf is tied around the neck to conserve warmth. The winter scarf is sometimes
called a muffler, and is usually
accompanied by a heavy jacket or coat. The winter scarf can be wrapped around
the face and ears for additional protection from cold.
Wool is the classic go-to scarf material for its warmth and durability. It's
also breathable, which means that it's super water resistant and wicks away
moisture. Wool can hold 30% of its weight in moisture
without being damp. Cashmere
and Merino
For
winter, you can try
popular fabrics like wool blends, silk, linens, or cashmere. You can also pick cotton,
silk, and some scarves blends as these fabrics are popular for their cool,
breathable, and lightweight characteristics.
Knitted
Merino wool scarves are warm as well as breathable, thanks to the ability of sheep's wool to control
heat. In addition, it wicks the absorbed moisture away into the air.
It is not necessarily the
material that is thickest and fluffiest that keeps the cold at bay. Rather, it is the fabric that keeps
back air the best that works as a winter scarf material. Fabrics such as cashmere, fleece, wool, and silk.
COLOUR: The
first and foremost criteria to choose the color of your scarf or shawl is
to assess
the skin tone and then determine which hues suit you the best. Basic Test: Place your
hand on the shawl with palm up and check if the color of the palm radiates well
or looks gloomy.
FABRIC: this can be a very personal decision as some
people don't like the feel of certain fabrics. But other than your itchy neck,
the most important thing to consider here is the climate. The idea behind the
scarf is to keep you warm so choose a fabric that will keep you snug but not
make you sweat.
You don't
always have to go for the biggest, thickest, most woollen scarf to feel warm in
winter. A
gorgeous cotton scarf can be wrapped around your neck for warmth, and can be a
little more slimlined than a big fluffy scarf.
Cotton is
one of the best fabrics for winter. This
universal fabric can be made thin, in order to be breezy for summer, or thick
so it can hold up to the elements of winter. It's also a great alternative for
people who have allergies to fabrics like wool.
There is
an array of options to choose from. You can wear it in summers as well as
winters, styling it the way you wish. A blanket, faux fur , and a wool scarf are some of
the best winter options while a cashmere scarf, a cotton scarf and a silk scarf
is perfect for the summer season.
STYLE :Simple
and considered by many to be the warmest scarf arrangement ever, the hidden
knot keeps your neck and chest warm without letting in any draft. How do you do
it? Drape the
scarf over the front of your neck so the ends hang backwards over your
shoulders.
WASH CARE: Wool garments should be washed on
the wool setting (usually gentle action at 40°C). If your washing machine does not have a wool
cycle, use the cold water wash or wash cycle for delicates. Use a neutral, mild
detergent that is preferably Woolmark recommended (look for the Woolmark symbol
on the packet).
Research’s
found that the warmest material is wool, with
thicker Icelandic wool being even better, and a wool-acrylic blend being
somewhere in the middle. The warmest clothing for you will be dictated by the
number of layers you can use, and the thickness of the materials you are
wearing.
Choose a scarf that best suits you in every way.
