In the wintertime, heavy woolen scarves are used to ward off the cold and stuff the unfortunate gaps between our coats and our necks. We bundle ourselves in knitted lengths of fabric of epic proportions, wrapping coils and coils around our necks and heads and shoulders until we are completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume covering our bodies. But we are warm, and somehow warmth became the fashion, and we continued to grab scarves even bigger and warmer and thicker than before. I love winter scarves, don’t you? Anyway, now it is summertime, and the unfortunate need to wrap a woolen scarf around your neck 10 times so it doesn’t flop on the floor is gone. No longer do you need to wrap your neck up and ward off the cold–actually, now you need to mop off the sweat from the summer heat! But what types of scarves do you need for that? And how do you wear them?
1. The bandeau. A thin silk handkerchief wrapped around your neck, this is perfect to ward off the heat. You can always dip it in water and wrap it around your neck like the cowboy’s do, but I don’t think you want to ruin the nice silk.
2. The headscarf. Take a bright, brilliant colored fabric a little longer than the bandeau and tie it around your head like a headband. It will keep your hair pulled back and look bright and cheerful. Happiness!
3. The belted scarf. Use a thin, colorful scarf to belt a dress or shorts. It will add a little punch to your wardrobe!Author : Colleen
