History Of Fashion Scarves
The Roman’s used the scarf as a sweat cloth, and, during the 17th century a scarf was worn around the neck of a soldier to signify rank and prestige to all who saw. Whether it was used to herald status, or wipe sweat, they have managed to integrate themselves into the wardrobes of modern day men and women. Fashion scarves made a statement then, and now.
Flashy colored they are perfect for any type of wardrobe. In the past, most scarves were made out of wool, now days, however, they can be made of many different types of fabrics. Scarves can be made of silk, wool, cashmere, and even fur. Trendy and timeless, these fashionable strips of fabric can be worn dressy or casual.
Found in almost any accessory drawer, fashion scarves are often worn as a wrap for the head or shoulders. Elegant and classic, scarves have graced the head and shoulders of almost every movie star and starlet inspiring young girls across the nation to emulate that classic style.
Scarves can also be used as hair bows and in the 1950’s, no pony tail was complete without one. In the 70’s, no self respecting hippy would be caught without one wrapped around their waist as a belt. Throughout the years, scarves have become an important part of every fashion statement to arrogant and bold to saucy and cute.
No winter wardrobe would be complete without the warm fuzzy one wrapped around the neck. Found in any department store or clothing store, or the internet, any creative flare can be met by the playful accessories, whether the wearer has on jeans and a t-shirt or a silk dress a wrap will complement any wardrobe piece, proving the fact that scarves are a fashion statement then and now.
