Boa - a spectacular feather scarf

The name of the ladies' feather scarf carries a meaning that can shock. From the Latin language boa is translated as "strangler", and the largest and most dangerous reptile in the world is named boa boa. It is impossible to say with certainty who became the inventor of the elegant accessory, but even in the days of Ancient Rome and Egypt, women from wealthy families loved to decorate their necks with a non-venomous snake.

The strange addiction of ancient girls was due not only to the desire to create a spectacular image, but also to practicality. Cold-blooded snakes saved people from the heat, and after several centuries it was decided to replace the usual accessory with a more attractive thing.

In the seventeenth century, feather scarves reached their peak in popularity. They were considered a symbol of belonging to the royal family, and only the most noble beauties could afford to purchase ladies' jewelry.

The nineteenth century made boas available to women of lesser ancestry as well. Not a single secular ball was complete without fashionistas in a fur or feather scarf.

The design of the boa scarf is very simple. Fur and feathers are dyed in various colors and glued together, resulting in a "flaky" product. The weight of ladies' scarves varies from 60 grams to 200.

The cost of the models depends both on the severity and quality of the material, and on the type of scarf, of which there are quite a few:

• Ostrich boa is considered the most striking option necessary to create a shocking bow and attract everyone's attention. Russian stars often appear in such a model on the red carpet and the pages of fashion magazines.

• Fur boa adds tenderness and elegance to the look.

• Swan down scarves are a light, airy accessory often found at weddings.

Designers involved in the creation of women's scarves focus on a variety of models so that every girl can choose a thing based on her appearance and preferences:

• Fans of the eighties style can opt for boas decorated in pastel shades.

• You will not be able to patronize in models of black fur boas. This option is ideal for girls who want to look luxurious, make an evening look.

• And for those whose goal is to create excitement around their person, colored feather boas are suitable - yellow, purple, red, green.

Boa will quickly become a constant companion of the modern fashionista, and it would be bad if a lady's scarf quickly loses its presentable appearance. In this case, you will have to spend a considerable amount not purchasing new clothes.

To avoid unnecessary expenses, when choosing, you need to follow simple rules:

• The stitched boa will not deform for a long time, and the seams in the glued models constantly diverge.
• It is easy to determine the quality of natural fur. It is enough to run your palm over the scarf - if the nap is not left on your hand, feel free to buy this product.
• If the faux fur boa leaves marks on your clothing, keep the scarf on the shelf.

On weekdays, boas are rarely worn, but if you are very attracted to this product, and you do not plan to appear at social events, you can afford to experiment with a scarf. Fashion designers are encouraging this.

• In the fall season, a fur boa will make an excellent combination with a classic coat.

• Office style allows a combination of a fur scarf with a vest or jacket made of the same material.

• Lovers of leather jackets and sheepskin coats can look ridiculous to complement the look with narrow boa without fear! Skinny models look good with jeans.

For most of the customers, feather and fur boas were a novelty that they had to study carefully. How did the research end? Delight! Each girl was able to choose a suitable product that emphasizes her individuality and femininity. Boas provide a unique opportunity to feel like a true lady.

Also a big plus is that ladies' scarves are easy to care for. It is enough to store the boa in a ventilated place and clean it with special products.
