Scarves Galore

It’s time to dig those silk scarves out of your grandmother’s drawer; scarves are back this year and they are beginning to show up in some of the most unique places. Scarves this season were reminiscent of an Italian “nonna” as they were seen loosely knotted around the head in various colors. Scarves also showed up on occasion tied around the neck in a masculine tie knot, and even on the wrist as a sort of makeshift bracelet.

Though scarves are back, they are still done in classic style with simple, old-fashioned colors and classic patterns. So, your mom’s old flowered scarf from the seventies won’t do it this season. Focus on simple black, grey, and the occasional cream. If you are having a hard time imagining this trend, just think about past stars such as Audrey Hepburn, wearing a scarf around her head as a sort of mysterious fashion item. The idea here is mystique and glamour, so go ahead and tie one up.

If ever you think about buying a timeless scarf, you must consider the legendary house of Hermes. Hermes has been making fine scarves for centuries, and this year’s collection comes in some great styles. Hermes’ classic “silk twill scarf” is just perfect for this season ($325). Choose yours in a solid black or blue color and you have a scarf that will easily be handed down from generation to generation. If Hermes is a bit out of your price range (add it to your wish list!), smaller retailers have an abundance of scarves as well.

JCrew is featuring two choice scarves that are all made up in black and white for the fall season, or you can head to Banana Republic, which happens to have a whole array of different scarves for any style. If you still love the look of luxury, but can’t afford the high price tag, your best bet is www.bluefly.com where you just might find that perfect designer scarf for much less.

If there is one accessory that is easily found and easily affordable that you must try this season, it is the scarf. Go ahead and tie one on, or loosely wrap it around your head for a bit of mystery. Whatever you do with it, the scarf is your perfect accessory for fall.
