How to Buy Winter Scarves
- 1). Determine the ideal material for your winter scarf. Although wool generates a lot of warmth, for example, it can also lead to itching as your neck heats up. Pashmina wool and cashmere scarves are luxurious, but also cost more. Velvet and chenille are soft, but can also shed onto neighboring garments.
- 2). Decide what length and style would best coordinate with your existing outfits. Calculate how many times you'd like to wrap the scarf around your neck to determine the proper width and length. Consider whether the ends will be visible or tucked into a jacket when deciding if you'd like fringed, beaded or plain trim.
- 3). Opt for a scarf that provides a lot of style options. For example, you can wrap a Pashmina around your neck, use it as a shawl or even tie it around your waist like a sarong. Although authentic versions are made of 100 percent Pashmina wool, similar styles are available in silk blends or affordable acrylic. (See Resources below.)
- 4). Select an assortment of acrylic knit scarves if you're looking for fashionable colors, warmth and low prices. Coordinate a scarf with each winter outfit or even buy versions in your alma mater or favorite sports team's colors or printed with your company logo.
- 5). Consider a hand knit scarf created in an acrylic and polyester blend or 100 percent nylon for softness and durability. Designs are typically available in a variety of colors and in bulky, thin or open weaves.
- 6). Get the warmth of a winter scarf without the bulk with a fleece-lined, V-shaped design that secures in back with Velcro. Try the neck warmer with a ski sweater, jacket or coat.
