What's in a scarf?

We rarely consider wearing a scarf in the heat, but that's a trend that can be changed if scarves were suitable for the sweaty weather. Look at it as a summer accessory — the scarf is an excellent way to add a pop of colour to a plain-Jane outfit and to add layers when spending hours in an air-conditioned office.

Versatile and vibrant, an oversize scarf is virtually weightless and will take up very little room in your purse. Although part of the allure is the chic, airy feel, a feather-light scarf can ward off the chill of air-conditioning, and even act as an extra layer of sunscreen.

Beyond its functionality, this fashionable accessory is available in almost every style imaginable in the market. From organic fabrics to bold and graphic prints, add a splash of personality to your ensemble. Leave the jewels behind knowing that a pop of colour or a pretty pattern around your neck will draw attention to your face just like a necklace would for an easy, breezy look. You could get one with tassles or just an Indian embroidered one.

Get flirty and girly with lightweight scarves. These bright scarves are the perfect outfit companion for the beach, park, or a for a day out in the park. Try pinks, yellow, or orange. Dainty linen scarves will keep you cool in the sweltering heat, square scarves will add pizzazz to any sundress and infinity scarves will keep your outfit posh and polished.
