There’s no remedy for winters but to stay warm.
Everyone wants to stay warm during the cold winter days. The dropping mercury levels bring scarves and neckwear into action. Heavier knitted and woolen wraps replace lighter chiffon and silk scarf.
As the cold weather casts its spell scarves for women as well as mens scarves become an important dressing accessory. This lose piece of garment also become favorite gift items during the winter season.
Designers seek interesting scarf patterns for neck as well as head scarves. Labels such as Aquascutum and Louis Vuittion add interesting scarves to their ready to wear collection. In addition to cashmere and pashmina, fashion gurus seek newer and improved fabrics for style and convenience.
Designer scarves have always been my weakness and I can’t seem to resist walking down the scarf accessories section of the top labels.
This time my dilemma lies between choosing one from two of my favorite brands, Gucci and Louis Vuittion.
The Gucci scarf my heart is set on is a GG pattern shawl. It is a dark purple scarf with black GG on it. The blend is 70% cashmere and 30% silk. The size is 45.3”L X 49.2”H. And it costs USD 395.
The other one is Louis Vuittion’s Leopard and Monogram Scarf. It is a crepe silk scarf with two Louis Vuittion signatures, the monogram and the leopared print. The size is 70.7”L X 7.9” H. It is 100% silk and costs USD 281.
Both of the above are excellent fashion scarves and would make great scarves for women. They can either be worn as a head scarf or as a neck scarf.
The above information confuses me as to if I should go for the purple scarf or the leopard monogram scarf. Both have become my heart throbs but would be too costly for me to buy two.
Can someone please help and advice me what to do?
Scarves have always been an integral part of women’s clothing. A scarf falls under the clothing accessories section and serves various purposes.
The main purpose of a scarf is protection. In cooler climates wool and knitted scarves are used to stay warm. In moderated climates, lighter materials such as a silk scarf are used as fashion scarves.
As compared to the past, today men’s scarf are becoming as popular as women scarves.
Designer scarves are available in a variety of crochet and knitting patterns. Cashmere and pashmina shawls available in a wide variety of patterns add color to a simple outfit white providing protection against the cold. May it be a black scarf, a red scarf, green scarf, a white silk scarf or any other color it is sure to add style and serve as an expression of personal taste.
Scarves used as uniforms help identify civil authority figures and different groups.
Ladies scarves and wraps worn as head scarves promote religious dress codes such as Judism and Islam.
Thus, a scarf originally known as a “sudarium” and used as a sweat cloth has many great uses today.
Christmas comes only once a year but I try to preserve its essence throughout the year!
Ever since I can remember, everyone starts hunting for Christmas gifts as the holiday season approaches. Great care is invested in shopping for these presents but they are soon forgotten as soon as the big day is over.
As a child I’d always looked forward to giving and receiving presents but it has always saddened me of how we all forget about them shortly after and lock them in our cupboards.
Now for the past couple of years I try to give gifts which would be used year round and still not look boring.
This year my ideal gift is going to be silk scarves for all my friends. I am going to make these scarves myself with great care. Being a big fan of simplicity and neatness my scarves will be white in color so they can be unisex. This type can easily be worn with a blazer, skinny jeans, or an oxford for a casual yet professional look anytime of the year.
Hope my friends like my idea as I want them to remember the message of Christmas by wearing these scarves year round.

The phone bell was ringing as I opened the main door. I hurriedly pushed the door open and ran to get the phone but the last bell ended as I reached the handset. As soon as I started walking away the caller made another ring and since I was within an arms length of the phone I pick it up instantly. On the other side was Rose, and old school friend who had called to invite me to a pool side dinner at her place. Rose and I went to the same high school and now is a well practicing doctor. I accepted the invitation and started thinking of all the other friends who would be there too. My next thought was what to wear as a little rain shower was expected in the afternoon which would make the weather a bit chillier by the evening. I quickly ran to my wardrobe and searched for something suitable for the occasion. As I peeped through my closet my eyes fell upon a black satin dress with a velvet belt. It was a very chic dress but I had worn it so many times that I wanted something different this time. I thought for a while and looking out the window decided to go and buy something new.
Since I was short of time I entered the first shop at the mall and started browsing through the hanging outfits but did not find anything. The sales girl approached and offered to help and I asked her that I needed something for the evening. She pointed towards a mannequin wearing a strapless white dress with a floral pattern silk scarf. The scarf looked so voguish that I decided to look for a scarf to go with my black dress. The sales girl showed me towards a colorful rack full of scarves, wraps and shawls. Keeping the chilly weather I picked a lovely cashmere shawl to wrap around the shoulders and made the payment.
I happily returned home and started getting ready for the evening. My new shawl was going to save me from the coldness and add style to my old dress.
Designer Wedding Scarf
It was a pleasant winter evening with the icy wind blowing the brittle leaves of the tall trees. Loud festive music could be heard as we drove closer to the venue. The blanket like giant mesh marquee sparkling with bright fairy lights seemed to embrace the horizon. The pavilion was filled with estimable guests; some sitting at the round tables while some were roaming around and chatting. A large multi layered cake staged on an elegant oak table waited for the bride and the groom to enter and treat everyone to it.
Amidst the rejoicing the music all of sudden ceased and then blasted off again with ‘here comes the bride, all dressed in white’. As the bride and groom entered walking hand in hand all eyes lay on them. The groom wore an elegant black suit with a silk tie and dazzling black dress shoes. The bride was one of her kind too, wearing a very pretty designer bridal dress with a formal silk scarf wrapped around her shoulders. Even the two bridesmaids were wearing dress gowns with silk wraps around their shoulders warming up the cold winter evening in a very chic manner. The bright red silk scarves on the white women dresses made the bridal gowns look exclusive.
The couple approached the round oak table and exchanged vows and rings followed by a kiss. Finally, they cut the long awaited multi layered cake and the marry making began marking the beginning of a new life.
