Women's scarves

In our climate, the absence of a scarf is an unacceptable luxury. It is difficult to imagine a woman who did not have a warm scarf or shawl, shawl or snood. So what accessories do women use to warm their neck and décolleté with the onset of cold weather?

The shawl is a large triangle. In Europe and Russia, the first shawls appeared at the beginning of the 19th century. These were surprisingly thin lace, but at the same time very warm shawls. A downy shawl that wrapped its mistress from head to toe passed through the wedding ring.

A classic rectangular scarf will never lose its relevance. If earlier it was used only to escape from the cold, now it is a fashionable accessory and you can often find fashionistas who combine a scarf not only with outerwear, but also with light dresses and flying blouses. There are many ways to tie a scarf aesthetically and at the same time original.

Bactus is a scarf-scarf with a triangular shape. The model of such a scarf comes from Norway and was named after the hero of the Norwegian cartoon - a dwarf who wore such a scarf. Classic baktus are knitted with tassels at the ends and / or from sectional yarn, adhering to the folk style.

Snood or scarf trumpet appeared in 2008 in the collections of Missoni and Barberry and has not given up its positions since then. Every year, new colors, sizes and materials appear both on the catwalks and on the shelves of the mass market, and in the hands of lovers of needlework. Snood, depending on the size, can only be a scarf or both a scarf and a hat at the same time.

Stole is a light rectangular cape, wide enough, 1.5-2 meters long. Used as a scarf, as a shawl, and as a headdress.

Boa is a long and narrow scarf made of fur or feathers. It first came into vogue in the 19th century, and then it turned out to be at the top of popularity, then it was considered a vulgar accessory, often appearing and disappearing from fashion catwalks.

Thin scarf or scarf-tie returned to fashion in 2014 at the Prada show, and the following year, the same model was in the Yves Saint-Laurent collection. This season, a thin women's tie is found not only in glossy publications, but also on the streets. And the designers propose to use all new materials, colors, patterns for the tie.

Hat-scarf a cap-shaped or hat with very long ears can also be considered a kind of scarf. Today, most often, this hat is stylized in the folk style of the Baltics. But a similar model was spotted at the Vivienne Westwood show, which means it has every chance of becoming a fashion trend soon.

Fur is one of the most pronounced trends in the fall-winter season. Designers of famous brands offer not only fur coats, short fur coats and vests, but also fur accessories, including fur scarves. Last year we saw fur collar scarves with ties in the form of silk and knitted ribbons, which fashionistas turned into exquisite feminine bows.

Now designers are offering us new options for how to wrap ourselves in a fur scarf, for example, scarves with a slit-loop at one end so that you can thread the other end there. It is also important to tuck wide fur scarves under a thin leather strap. The most creative way to wear a fur scarf this season is to tie it in a knot or wrap it around your neck in two turns like a classic wool model.

The fur tube scarf is also seen on the catwalks. Couturiers offer a wide range of fur colors from natural colors of mink, arctic fox and fox, to acidic shades of yellow, fuchsia and deep purple. And if the first option fits perfectly into a classic or romantic wardrobe, then the second is suitable for lovers of grunge and hippie style.

In the collections of designers, we see not only an accent on the active color, but also furs of a complex mottled color.

Patchwork made from pieces of fur is also in trend. At the same time, both fur of various colors and fur with different nap: long and short, as well as curly sheep are used.

The designers of the Carolina Herrera brand offer scarves made of fabric with a wide fur trim, decorated with leather and suede appliqués. At the same time, stripes of fur are used in the scarves, which themselves create a geometric print. Such a scarf looks more strict and daring.

And for those who want to avoid excess volume, the Banana Republic brand offers snoods and scarves with a thin fur trim. These scarves are lighter, more practical and more comfortable than wide fur stoles, so they are suitable for every day.

Short fur scarves of medium width made of natural fur add sophistication and elegance to the look. They will be appropriate not only with outerwear, but also with a cocktail dress.

For lovers of chic, the designers of fashion houses Sonia Rykiel and Christian Dior have prepared another fashionable novelty made from natural fur - wide stoles and boas with tails.

Knitted scarves are always in fashion. This season, models from thick knitted yarn with the simplest patterns, knitted on the needles, are relevant. Complex volumetric patterns of braids and scarves knitted using the brioche technique are also in fashion. And if you won't surprise anyone with braids, then brioche is a relatively new trend in knitting. This technique allows you to get a double-sided canvas with a colored pattern. We see such models in the Marks & Spenser collections, and they are also widely represented by knitters.

Scarves from mohair and hangars do not lose their relevance. Bulky and light due to the fleecy structure of the yarn, they will perfectly warm you in the most severe frosts.

Another trend of the 2016-2017 season is fringe, which, of course, did not go around scarves - lush long tassels around the edge or a scarf completely covered with fringe - the choice is yours.

If we talk about sizes, then large or even huge scarves are in fashion, which will help warm not only the neck. Choosing such an accessory, it is necessary to focus on its size - leave the long ends of the scarf hanging down in front or remove one of the ends back.

Along with scarves, which are practical in our climate, the popularity of scarves-ties is also growing. Classic weightless models from black chiffon, chic velvet ties in deep complex shades of red and gold, skinny scarves with fringes and animal prints are in fashion. Very long and narrow, they visually stretch the silhouette.

On the catwalks, we see how perfectly you can combine a tie with a coat and with a chiffon dress on the floor, with a shirt, a T-shirt and a leather jacket. This simple accessory will add a spice and modernity to your look. Here's an example of how a long knitted lurex skinny scarf can be combined with a variety of clothing styles.

Stoles remain an actual accessory but, like scarves, they gravitate towards large sizes so that they can already be considered an intermediate link between a scarf and a poncho. A stole should be chosen as large as possible in order to wrap yourself up in it, if not completely, then half.

Under the belt this season it is important to wear not only fur scarves, but also wide stoles... At the same time, the scarf-stole becomes a very bright accent of the whole image. For women who prefer down jackets in winter, the designers of the brands Tommy Hilfiger, River Island, Motivi, Odri have released scarves with pom-poms, ideal for sports and casual style.

Nude shades never go out of style. A delicate scarf that matches your skin tone will serve you for more than one season, will give your face youth and freshness.

Plaid is more popular this season than ever. We see stoles with a large pattern of rich blue, red, green shades both on a dark and light background.

Zara striped stoles in warm spicy colors look stylish and modern. Large zigzags and stripes are also often seen on the catwalks, but we should pay tribute to the original solution of the Cinefog brand, whose designers applied this trend to fur products.

Camouflage scarves and shawls can be seen on fashionistas in the coming year, and celebrities have already fallen in love with this trend.

Animal prints are popular this season on both woven stoles and fur scarves. Couturiers prefer natural colors of tiger and leopard in muted shades, or stylized, but calm gray-beige tones.
