More info for keeping your scarf, shawl
or wrap in place
Scarves come
in many different fabrics, shapes and sizes. Square and rectangular
seem to be the most popular shapes. Winter scarves are generally
desired in long lengths to wrap around the neck or face for keeping
warm, while dressy scarves are typically much shorter in length.
A designer scarve can be tied in many different styles of knots
for creative accessorizing or pinned in place with a decorative
accessory to keep it looking neat and fashionable. A
simple square knot tied in the middle of a thin, long
rectangular scarf creates a nice accent with an open collar
shirt, dress or sweater.
Simply
tie the knot in the middle of the scarf and secure behind the
neck. This can also be accomplished by tying a knot with the
two ends, in front of the neck, or simply looping over once
for an ascot effect.
The
same scarf, with a knot at each end will makes a great statement
worn beneath the collar of a blazer or blouse that has a tailored
lapel.
A
thin, shorter scarf can be tied around a pony tail for a ‘50’s
look. These ideas for wearing a scarf are the
primary reason that they are such a popular accessory with women
and men.
Men
occasionally sport a white silk aviator scarf wrapped once around
the neck in the style of Robert Redford’s “Great
Gatsby”, making an artistic statement or with a leather
coat in the style of a 30’s open cockpit pilot.
There
are also several types of scarf clips available to compliment
a designer scarf. These little pieces are dual purpose presenting
a useful way to secure the scarf and also an additional accent
to the outfit. Usually presented in a pin with a loop to draw
the scarf ends through, they are typically little jeweled accents
to hold the scarf in place.
The
“jewels” can be pinned to a blouse or jacket at
the shoulder, or placed on the front of the blouse. Purchasing
a clip that has decorative gem stones, pearls or enameling will
add to the overall fashion effect of the scarf.For shawls and
wraps, it is generally not necessary to secure them with a knot
or a jeweled clip.
They
are long enough, typically 50-77 inches, to overlap and simple
hold themselves in place. When wearing your longer pashmina
or evening shawl in more “active” situation, such
as for dancing or while at Scottish Clansmen Highland Games,
it can be secured with a shawl scarf pin (brooche) on the shoulder.
In
heritage photographs of grandparents and great grandparents,
often the grandmother is seen wearing a shawl secured with her
family heirloom cameo, and because she was so busy doing everything
from baking bread to picking vegetables, she needed to have
her wrap pinned to her clothing.
Whether
you elect to tie, pin or wear your scarves loosely, you can make a fashion
statement and feel comfortable about wearing your scarf or shawl.
