Women's scarves

In our climate, the absence of a scarf is impermissible luxury. It is difficult to imagine a woman who did not find a warm scarf or shawl, scarf or snood. So with what accessories do women insulate 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 shawl of fluff, wrapping its mistress from head to toe, passed through an engagement ring.

A classic rectangular scarf will never lose its relevance. If before it was used only to save yourself from the cold, now it is a fashion accessory and you can often find fashionistas combining 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 in an original way.

Bactus is a triangular-shaped scarf-scarf. The model of such a scarf comes from Norway and was named in honor of the hero of the Norwegian cartoon - the gnome who wore such a scarf. Classical bactuses are knitted with tassels at the ends and / or from sectional yarn, adhering to a folkloric style.

Snood or scarf pipe appeared in 2008 in the collections of Missoni and Barberry and has not lost ground since then. Every year, all 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. Depending on the size, a snood can only be a scarf or both a scarf and a hat at the same time.

Palatine is a lightweight rectangular cloakwide enough, 1.5-2 meters long. It is used as a scarf, as a shawl, and as a headpiece.

Boa is a long and narrow scarf made of fur or feathers. First came into fashion in the 19th century, and then he was at the top of popularity, then he was considered a vulgar accessory, often appearing and disappearing from fashion catwalks.

Thin scarf or tie scarf 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 a tie.

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

One of the most pronounced trends in the autumn-winter season is fur. 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 on how to wrap ourselves in a fur scarf, for example, scarves with a slit loop at one end so that the other end can be passed there. Also, wide scarves made of fur are relevant to tuck under a thin leather strap. The most creative way to wear a fur scarf this season is to knit it or wrap it around the neck in two turns, like a classic woolen model.

A fur scarf is also seen on the catwalks. Couturiers offer a wide selection of fur colors from the natural colors of mink, arctic fox and fox, to acidic shades of yellow, fuchsia and rich 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 emphasis on active color, but also fur of complex melange coloring.

The trend is also a patchwork of pieces of fur. In this case, both fur of various colors and fur with different nap are used: long and short, as well as curly sheepskin.

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

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

Short medium-width fur scarves made of natural fur will 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, designers of fashion houses Sonia Rykiel and Christian Dior have prepared yet another fashionable novelty made of natural fur - wide stoles and boas with tails.

Knitted scarves are always in fashion. This season, models of thick coarse yarn with the simplest patterns connected on knitting needles are relevant. Complex volumetric patterns of braids and scarves connected in the brioche technique are also in fashion. And if you don’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 color pattern. We see such models in the Marks & Spenser collections, and they are also widely represented among knitters.

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

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

If we talk about sizes, then in fashion big or even huge scarves, which will help to warm not only the neck. When choosing such an accessory, you need to focus on its size - leave the long ends of the scarf hanging down the front or remove one of the ends back.

Along with practical scarves in our climate, the popularity of tie scarves is also growing. Classic and weightless models from black chiffon, and chic velvet ties of deep complex shades of red and gold, skinny scarves with fringe 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, with a T-shirt and a jacket. This simple accessory will add a touch of modernity to your look. Here's an example of how a long knit 'skinny' lurex scarf can be combined with clothes of different styles.

Palatines remain an actual accessory but, like scarves, they are so large that they can already be considered an intermediate link between the scarf and the poncho. The palatine should be chosen as large as possible to wrap 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, designers of the brands Tommy Hilfiger, River Island, Motivi, Odri have released scarves with pom-poms that are ideally suited to sports and casual style.

Shades of nude never go out of style. A delicate scarf that matches the skin tone correctly will serve you for more than one season and give your face youth and freshness.

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

Striped stoles by Zara warm warm spicy colors look stylish and modern. Large zigzags and stripes are also often found on catwalks, but it is worth paying tribute to the original decision of the Cinefog brand, whose designers applied this trend to fur products.

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

Animal prints this season are popular on woven stoles and fur scarves. Couturiers give their preference to the natural colors of the tiger and leopard in muted shades, or stylized, but in a calm gray-beige color scheme.

Which scarf to choose for the park? We offer the following options:

• volume knitted snood;
• large plaid stole;
• very long coarse scarf;
• Leopard tents.

What a fashionable look to create with a classic beige coat? We recommend the following kits:

• with a palatine in a cage in tone;
• with a bright stole giving a color accent;
• with fur scarf in natural color;
• with a black scarf and tie.

With a fur coat it will be appropriate to look:

• black 'skinny' scarf;
• a scarf with an ornament;
• plain stole.

• Combinativity is the direction in which every modern girl develops her wardrobe. Style courses, individual work with an image maker or studying fashion blogs are aimed at getting the perfect wardrobe for all occasions, where you can create maximum combinations from a minimum of things.Consider how the same stole with large stripes of burgundy color plays in different images - with a coat in tone and with a short leather jacket.

• And here is an example of how two stoles in a cage can create a different mood and change the image as a whole.

The kits were picked up and demonstrated by fashion blogger Olga Choi. Today, fashion for scarves is extremely diverse, which makes it possible for every woman to create fashionable images in her own style and emphasize her beauty.
