Models
Models of snoods made of fluffy yarn "grass" of Chinese production are widely represented on the Russian market under the name of a scarf-transformer. Soft, very voluminous, often with fading pile of low quality acrylic. They are sold on the Ali-Express website, in the Oriflame catalog and on the shelves of mass market stores. Very warm, they are simple and unpretentious to care for. Easy to stretch in all directions due to the loose structure and do not hold their shape. As a result, it can be a scarf, and a cape, and a dress. They lose their density when stretched, so a dress made from such a scarf may turn out to be translucent.

Scarves with sleeves or cuffs should be highlighted separately. This model appeared relatively recently - in 2008 in Italy, received the name "Sciarpone" and was recognized by Russian knitters. But the fashion for cropped models has passed, and such scarves can be found less and less both on the streets and in stores. According to the designer's idea, the “Sciarpone” scarf turns into a short bolero or a sweater with a hood. Anna Serdyukova's laconic boleros over tight knitwear will be appropriate in a casual style, and paired with a cocktail dress will create a romantic look.

This is a very functional thing for the summer, however, it is only suitable for girls with an ideal figure and a certain amount of adventurism. Perhaps from such a scarf you can also make a handbag over your shoulder - furoshiki. Just a couple of knots, a couple of minutes and you will join the Japanese art of origami from fabric. Lightweight and cushioned, furoshiki is arguably your favorite tote bag for beach trips or casual shopping. The Japanese pack their purchases in branded stores and things while going to the bathhouse in cloth. In Russia, such a bag is still exotic.

Such improvised clothing will be very useful during a photo session on the shore. You don't know what to wear for a photo shoot in the city. And then the transforming scarf will come to your aid! A wide strip of silk or dense knitwear will become an exquisite dress with a train. We all wrapped ourselves in curtains in childhood to feel like princesses.

Material and color
When choosing summer scarves, you should give your preference to natural fabrics - silk, viscose, thin cotton. These materials will prevent overheating in the sun, and at the same time will keep you warm on a cool evening.

Employees of the Pantone Color Institute recommend this year to pay attention to a shade called "Green". The bright color of young foliage will be the most popular in the coming year. However, when choosing a scarf shade, you need to give preference to a color that matches your skin tone as much as possible. After all, a scarf is closest to your face, and it is he who will emphasize your appearance. Hazelnut color, rose quartz, sheer blue and ash blue, also found in the Pantone palette, will be more practical and appropriate.

A transforming scarf can be made of knitwear, both factory knitted and hand-knitted. More often, such scarves are knitted with knitting needles, since the crocheted fabric is less plastic.

We recommend combining transforming scarves made of thick yarn with braids and aran with jeans. Openwork, light, translucent models - with dresses and skirts of flying styles. A felt scarf will create a wonderful set with a sheath dress. Knitted models, models with fringes will perfectly fit into a boho style outfit, the distinctive features of which are layering and draperies.
