The scarf is still the most important accessory in fashion. Add some instant style and “bling” to your wardrobe. Make it in a neutral color to blend with lots of your clothes, or choose a fabric that makes a statement. It’s so easy to wear: tied or draped around the neck; worn like a belt at or below the waist; or used over a shirt like an obi sash. Just let your imagination and sense of fashion take over!
