Is there anything more versatile than a scarf? They keep you looking cute and cozy whenever you’re bundled up in the cold. A silk scarf over your shoulders makes you feel gorgeous at that airy summer wedding. Pop one around your neck and you’re the office fashionista. Or tie on a head scarf and get ready for that Sunday drive! You will be happy to know that there isn’t just one type, but many types of scarves!
1. Cashmere Scarves
Yes, we know that most of us are in the midst of a rather hot summer, but there’s winter at the end of…well, year. There’s no harm in prepping for it in advance, especially when the pieces you prep with are so good. Ditch the cheaper scarves next winter and trade them for a cashmere scarf that is double the style and double the warmth! These beauties are priced really high in the market, but they’re investment items. This means these types of scarves will always defy trends and stay timeless through the years.
2. Cotton Scarves
Just like you can’t go without a basic tee or a pair of jeans, you can’t go without these types of scarves either! The spot they take up in your wardrobe is well deserved, and they hold the capability to take you through not just summer but every other season. There are a few reasons why they are so widely popular and equally important to own. Cotton, as a fabric, is a warm-weather favorite. It keeps pesky sweat at bay and allows your body to breathe free.
3. Net scarves
Net fabrics are ideal for making scarves. You will have to choose fine and smooth net fabric like tulle instead of scratchy synthetic nets. Trims like sequins, chains or laces can be added to the edges. Embroidered net is many people’s favorite – the embroidery stands out and it is as if you are wearing only embroidery around your neck.
4. Infinity Scarves
Infinity scarves, as opposed to regular scarves, don’t have a beginning or an end. That’s right; these scarves are a loop, and hence the name! They are two times more fun than drapey scarves but also two times less effort. All you have to do is put your head through the loop and repeat it twice or thrice, depending upon the circumference of the scarf you own. Sounds like a smooth process, right? This is the topmost reason for the fame of these types of scarves among young and middle-aged urban women.
5. Silk Scarves
With historical significance attached to them, silk scarves are easily one of the most opulent wardrobe items to own. There was a time when they were worn to denote ranks in society, with only upper classes flaunting them. Now, the entire dynamic has changed and they’re more of a symbol of fine taste in fashion than anything else. It’s impossible to watch a movie with the elite in focus and not spot these types of scarves on any of the characters. Whether they’re in the form of a necktie or stole, their icon status is never up for debate.
6. Bandanas
If you haven’t heard of these, we’re sorry, but you’ve definitely been living under a rock! Worn on the head and around the neck, occasionally, even tied around your hand or your bag, bandanas are famous for being free-spirited and trendsetting! They’re not just a great accessory for your outfit, but also for your hair, apart from complementing other accessories. Personally, these are our favorites among all types of scarves because of how easy they are to style.
7. Chunky Knit Scarves
Ever had a piece of clothing that felt like a warm hug? These types of scarves are just that, but as accessories! Chunky knit scarves are quite popular with women in areas that tend to get or remain freezing cold. Apart from keeping you cozy, they act as a great pairing for your outfit. Investing in neutral colors is your best bet, because then, all you need is one scarf that will go with everything effortlessly. Personally, we’re huge fans of shades of grey and beige. Black too remains a forever favorite!
