Choosing the right scarf

In the past, scarves were a useful accessory, primarily to keep warm and comfortable, and for some women, to keep their hair from being spoiled by wind and rain. Today, scarves come in various types of material for every weather and occasion. Scarves as a useful and versatile accessory are becoming the popular fashion and present in all trendy-women’s wardrobes. Scarves add color, style and can change the look of any attire. Choose the right texture When choosing a scarf, the texture matters a lot; you don’t want to look and feel wacky donning a heavy winter scarf on a warm Kigali evening. Go for light textures like silk and cotton. This will make you look stylish and feel comfortable as well. Another important factor to consider when choosing the right scarf is the colour. Many fashion doctors recommend black colour for that simple and neutral look, but if you are a very colorful and cheery person, floral patterns are a very good way to go. If you happen to have an edgy or strong personality, then plain and dark or pin stripes will do for you. How to wear it There are various ways of wearing a scarf, but the most common and traditional way, is to wrap it around your neck, tying a simple loose knot could create a nice and sophisticated feel to your entire look. Some people simply hang these accessories on their necks and still manage to look very classy and elegant. The scarves not only keep you warm, but also make your plain and simple attire look all the more artistic and fashionable. The most popular materials are silk, cotton, and cashmere scarves, which are preferred for their soft, feel and rich lustrous look. martin.bishop18@yahoo.com
