How to choose?
When purchasing an accessory, you need to pay attention to the following factors:
- season. In the cold time of day, the scarf should protect from the cold. The thickness of the material also matters;
- quality of the material.Preferred look scarves made of natural material: wool, silk, linen, cashmere. If you can’t find a completely natural material, you can use 70%;
- length. Not too big and not too small. The main thing - to be able to cover the neck. A very long scarf will look ridiculous on a fashionable woman of short stature, and a short one - on a tall one;
- Colour. Depending on the natural data of the girl, it is worth looking narrowly at certain shades. For example, for girls with dark skin and dark hair the best is the expressive color range of the product, and light - in no case can one choose pale tones, because it will not harmonize with the general image;
- thin or fat. Here you need to look depending on the shape. If a girl has an excellent figure, then it is better for her to choose a volume scarf, for full fashionistas - a thinner product: from cashmere or lace knit. Do not forget that it is not worn tight.
